Does Dillon Danis Have A Daughter? Who Is Josephine?
It is common knowledge that Dillon Danis is not dating anyone and is currently single. Additionally, he has never been married before.
However, fellow MMA fighter and YouTuber Logan Paul recently accused him of leaving his wife with his daughter alone during a pre-fight press conference on October 12.
Appearing together on the same stage with Dillon, Logan asked, “You obviously have no respect for women. Is that why you are not acknowledging your daughter?”
He further added, “Why don’t you acknowledge Josephine and her mom?” Your daughter Josephine, stupid.”
Dillon continued denying Paul’s allegation and said that he only had a son.
Not only that, following their quarrel involving their family matter, the two MMA fighters threw bottles at each other, which eventually ended after Dillon injured Paul, hitting him with a mic on his face.
With this episode, fans are confused about whether Paul’s statement about Dillon’s daughter, Josephine, is true, though he has already denied the allegation.
Dillon officially announced the birth of his son recently on September 1. Posting a picture with his baby on his Instagram handle, he wrote, “My first baby boy.”
However, the identity of his child’s mom remains hidden.
