However, the Webb family has released a statement expressing doubts about the timeline and duration of the relationship between Spencer Webb and Kelly Kay. They also question the paternity of the child.
According to the Sacramento Bee, the family asserts that they have attempted to reach an agreement for a DNA test, but talks have stalled due to Kay’s unwillingness to compromise on the collection process.
In their statement, the Webb family shares their perspective on the circumstances, stating, “Our family has doubts and concerns regarding the paternity of this child for a multitude of reasons. Until this point, we’ve remained silent in hopes that a DNA test would confirm Spencer as the father. Unfortunately, Kelly has been unwilling to compromise regarding the manner in which the DNA test is collected.”
The family provides a timeline to shed light on the situation. According to the statement, Kelly initially reached out to Spencer via a direct message on social media on June 28, 2022, just 16 days before his tragic accident. She flew to Oregon on July 7, 2022, to meet Spencer for the first time, a mere six days before his passing. The family claims that Kelly began discussing the possibility of being pregnant shortly after Spencer’s death.
The Webb family has stated their willingness to pay for the DNA test and related travel expenses. However, they insist on a mutually agreed-upon facility for the test, which Kay has reportedly been unwilling to accept.
