Paras Griffin/Getty ImagesAn ex-boyfriend of Keshia Knight Pulliam is pulling out of the possibility that he could be the father of her unborn child.
Big Tigger, who dated the former Cosby Show star for three years until 2015, opened up on his radio show about his ex's current divorce drama with Ed Hartwell and addressed any hearsay there might be about her pregnancy. "There's been lots of conversation and innuendo suggesting that I might be the father of someone's child. There is...zero percent chance that the child that is being alleged might be mine, is mine."
He added, "[I] could not have impregnated a female that I have not spoken to nor seen...since our breakup. Any insinuation, speculation, intimation or rumor of me being the father of that young lady's beautiful child...[is] just not true."
No matter the rumors, Pulliam has maintained that the father of her child is Hartwell, whom she married in January but announced their pending divorce at the end of July. The former athlete, however, has requested a paternity test to see if the child is actually his. Pulliam since has claimed that she and Hartwell nearly split up earlier due to alleged infidelity.
"In the process, I found out I was pregnant. And I had to take another hard look and decide if I wanted to try to work through this and forgive him for the sake of the child," she said during Play.it's Kandidly Keshia. "Like, I had divorce papers ready. I presented it to him...Once I was pregnant, I did decide to give him that one last chance."
But less than seven months after their secret marriage, Hartwell filed for divorce. Pulliam insisted the pregnancy had nothing to do with it. "This is his baby. He wanted more children. He was excited once he found out that we were having a little girl. There was never a question about that," she said. "No point after we got pregnant was there an issue of the fact that we're having a baby."
Baby aside, Pulliam wanted out of their marriage. "I have no desire to continue to be married to him."
