  • A mother of a tiny baby posted a video comparing her child's face to her husband's.
  • Social media users took to the comment section, suggesting the dad take a DNA test.
  • He did, and months later, followers of the story are eager to learn the results.

Oftentimes, a child more closely resembles one of their parents instead of both. Recently, a couple on TikTok shared a video that sparked much debate between social media users about how much a child should resemble both parents. Followers of this controversy were left divided in the end.

On April 22, 2023, TikTok user Raina SaNita shared a video on the app, using one of the filters to compare her baby's face to the child's supposed father. The video started with an image of the face of Raina's child, which slowly morphed into the child's presumed father. In the end, the dad turned away from the camera with what seemed like disbelief.

Raina titled the video "Stop denying," and captioned the entire thing with, "PROVING to my [baby daddy] that our daughter does look more like him." Although Raina claimed the clip unequivocally showed that the baby was his, the alleged father didn't seem too convinced, and neither did the comment section.

After the test, Raina's comment section exploded, with people waiting on the edge of their seats to find out whether her partner truly was the dad.

People commented on the video, saying the baby was definitely not his. Some people pointed out that the baby seemed much too white to be the child of the black dad. One wrote, "Ok, I'm going to be that person. That baby is too white to be his." Many other people echoed this statement. Other people suggested a paternity test, with one person noting, "He needs a DNA test."

Meanwhile, Raina shared another video showing how much she looks like the baby, and some people seemed to agree that the dad looked more like the child. One person wrote, "I see it clear as day he better claim that baby."

After Taking the Debate to TikTok

With thousands of users egging for a paternity test, Raina and her partner eventually went to settle the debate once and for all. In a third video, the supposed dad sat holding the little girl while a pair of gloved hands approached with a swab. The dad willingly opened his mouth for a sample of his DNA to be taken.

After showing her and her partner taking their little girl for paternal testing on April 29, 2023, the mother went radio silent.

With his swab complete, the person taking the samples produced another swab and slowly approached the little baby girl who sat quietly while a sample was taken from her. The whole procedure was quick, but the answers took a while.

The controversy around the couple's child largely centered on the apparent discrepancy between the baby's skin color and her supposed dad's. Many users noted that the little girl would have had darker skin if the man in the videos really was her father, prompting the young mom to make the videos proving the little girl looks like her partner.

Although many people insisted that the man would have a child with darker skin, the intricacies of DNA and genetics suggest that it is more than possible for an interracial couple to have a child with light skin. A famous case in 2010 showed two black parents eventually giving birth to a seemingly white child.

The BBC gave three influential factors at play in how a baby's skin color is determined, writing, "dormant white genes which entered both of her parents' families long ago, a genetic mutation unique to her, or albinism." Research has also suggested that a baby's skin may grow darker the older it gets.

While those in Raina's comment section may have some cause for worry, all signs indicate that the man in the videos could very likely be the little girl's father. After the test, Raina's comment section exploded, with people waiting on the edge of their seats to find out whether her partner truly was the dad.

The Results

After showing her and her partner taking their little girl for paternal testing on April 29, 2023, the mother went radio silent. Countless people eagerly waiting to see the results of the DNA test constantly badgered Raina on TikTok, hoping to draw some snippet of the truth from her. In the end, it was all for nothing.

Raina refused to say anything more about the testing, preferring to keep the results between her and her partner. Although she hasn't revealed whether her partner truly is the father of her daughter, it seems the hesitant man stuck around after the DNA testing, indicating they came to some agreement.

Raina followed her third video with another, showing herself with her daughter and her partner. In the clip, Raina's partner held the little girl up to the camera with a smile before the camera panned to show Raina sitting happily while filming them. She captioned the clip, "When all the [redacted] on TikTok mad as hell you ain't post no results."

Raina wasn't wrong. People in her comment section were almost howling to find out whether her partner was the father of her child or not. One TikTok user politely but firmly asked her to release the results, writing, "Ma'am we are waiting what are the results we're invested." They weren't the only one.

Many assumed that Raina's silence on the matter already gave the answer away, with one person noting, "It's been almost a month and not even an irrelevant new video has been posted. Definitely speaks volume." Other people also noticed how quiet Raina became after the DNA test and read whatever they wanted into the silence.

One person wrote, "You notice no more posts since he did the test????? Hmmmmm." Another person noted, "It's may 26 durk drop his album before y'all drop the results i think i know the answer (sic)."

Although Raina chose not to respond to any of these theories, she did write back to one person who wrote, "Aniyah is not his baby according to her fb. It's sad too because the entire family believed her. Baby looks just like her ex."

Deciding to speak out against the claim, Raina replied, "Lmao they are siblings too. The father of my first don't look like my youngest lmao they sisters their going to look alike y'all stupid (sic)."
