Conor Maynard Marries Amid Ongoing Paternity Dispute with The Traitors Star
Reality television personality Charlotte Chilton, aged 34, showcased a fashionable appearance in a vibrant red gingham dress as she prepared for an evening of salsa dancing with a new, undisclosed partner. This outing coincided with singer Conor Maynard, aged 33, exchanging vows with his fiancée Kitty Bertrand in a romantic ceremony surrounded by close friends and family members.
A Bitter Paternity Dispute Lingers
The celebratory events unfold against the backdrop of a protracted and acrimonious paternity conflict concerning Charlotte's daughter, Penelope. This dispute has persisted for over a year, with two separate DNA tests conclusively indicating that Conor Maynard is not the biological father. Despite these scientific results, Charlotte has remained steadfast in her assertion that the singer is indeed Penelope's father.
While Conor celebrated his nuptials, Charlotte shared a glamorous selfie on social media, captioning the image, 'Date night & we are salsa dancing tonight.' The identity of her current romantic partner remains unknown to the public.
Conor and Kitty's Wedding Day Details
Conor Maynard announced his marriage on Instagram with a joyful post declaring, 'WE'RE MARRIED!!!' The singer made a sartorial statement in a mustard yellow double-breasted suit paired with an open-collared white shirt. His bride, Kitty Bertrand, looked breathtaking in a strapless white gown featuring intricate embroidery on the bodice and a flowing tulle skirt, complemented by a veil and a diamond tiara.
Further intimate glimpses of the wedding were shared by Conor's brother, Jack Maynard, on social media. He revealed that the ceremony was officiated by the singer's manager, George Leighton. The celebrations included family photos with Conor's sister, Anna, who wore a fitted floral dress, and her boyfriend, Harry Clark. A pre-ceremony group shot showed Conor and several male friends, including The Traitors champion Harry Clark, clad in matching dressing gowns while enjoying champagne.
Notable guests in attendance included actor Jon James Ewart and songwriter Brendan Buckley, who has collaborated on several of Conor's tracks. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds embarked on their honeymoon to Reykjavik, Iceland, with Conor sharing a video of their luxurious accommodation.
The Complex Paternity Saga
The wedding arrives as the paternity controversy with Charlotte Chilton continues unresolved. Charlotte initially alleged in June 2024 that Conor was the father of her unborn child, conceived after a one-night stand following an introduction by Harry Clark at The Traitors wrap party. After Penelope's birth in October 2024, Charlotte claimed Conor refused to acknowledge paternity.
A first paternity test excluded Conor as the father, but Charlotte contested the results, alleging procedural irregularities. A second test, conducted at a Ministry of Justice-accredited facility selected by Charlotte and including DNA samples from all parties, reaffirmed the initial findings. Conor issued a statement expressing relief at the conclusive results and hope to move forward.
Charlotte, however, proposed a medical explanation, suggesting a potential condition called chimerism—where an individual has two sets of DNA—possibly due to a vanished twin pregnancy. She maintains her conviction that Conor is the father.
New Twists and Allegations
The dispute took another unexpected turn when Conor suggested online that the biological father might be Charlotte's Traitors co-star and close friend, former soldier Jonny Holloway, aged 33. In a November 2025 interview, Jonny confirmed they had sexual relations and has repeatedly requested a DNA test to clarify the matter, which Charlotte has refused. Jonny stated that, while heavily intoxicated at the time, he would accept responsibility if proven to be the father, but believes the timeline does not align with Penelope's birth.
Charlotte denies sleeping with Jonny Holloway. The ongoing social media exchanges between the parties have included Conor making indirect references through song lyrics, while Charlotte continues to seek public understanding of her position.
Representatives for Charlotte have expressed gratitude for public support during what they describe as 'an extraordinary battle for truth and justice,' noting she will take time to heal before sharing her full story. The situation remains a complex and emotionally charged public drama intersecting with the personal milestones of both individuals.
