A former partner of the US woman who gave birth to octuplets in Los Angeles last month has said he could be their father, and that of their six siblings.

Denis Beaudoin told ABC News that he had donated sperm to his former girlfriend Nadya Suleman three times.

He has requested DNA paternity testing but said he would help Ms Suleman raise the children whatever the results.

ABC said Ms Suleman had denied Mr Beaudoin was the father but had agreed to paternity tests being carried out.

Mr Beaudoin told ABC’s Good Morning America that Ms Suleman had asked him to donate sperm as she had ovarian cancer and was unable to have children.

He said he thought her request was “out of the ordinary” but that he had agreed as he “cared about her so much”.

Mr Beaudoin said he was “shocked and surprised” when he heard that Ms Suleman had given birth on 26 January and that he did not believe her denials that he was the father.

Now here is a guy that is positioning himself to cash in on any monetary rewards that the woman gets.   He has already said he would help raise them no matter who the father is…then why go through this?

This a/hole is getting ready to try for the “lawsuit lotto”.
