Charlotte Chilton has introduced her followers to a new partner, declaring herself "the happiest person in the world" months after her public paternity dispute with singer Conor Maynard. The 36-year-old, known for appearing in the first series of The Traitors, shared photographs on Instagram of a family barbecue, including images of her new boyfriend bonding with her daughter Penelope.
In the caption, she wrote: "Sunny BBQ !! What a great family day (sorry to those I did not capture). I am the happiest person in the world right now." The post drew congratulatory messages from friends and fans, with one writing "You look so happy! Congratulations," and another commenting "It's nice to see you look so happy."
The revelation comes after a turbulent period for Chilton, which included brain surgery. She previously told followers she had spent 18 days in hospital and was overjoyed to be reunited with her one-year-old daughter. Sharing a bathroom selfie at the time, she said she still had recovery to go but was "with my little Penny again".
Chilton has been locked in a dispute with Maynard over the paternity of Penelope, born in October 2024. The singer has denied being the father, with two DNA test results confirming he is not. However, Chilton insists the tests are wrong and maintains Maynard is the father, claiming she has researched how such results could be inaccurate. She said: "I am saying it because I know it is true."
Maynard has publicly mocked her, sharing a clip of her becoming tearful and saying: "Here's an invisible tissue for your invisible tears." He also confirmed that a second paternity test, requested by Chilton and conducted at a Ministry of Justice accredited facility she selected, had again concluded he is not Penelope's father. He said he was "glad we can now finally draw a line under this."
