Overview

• Singer Conor Maynard, 32, revealed his engagement on Instagram, posting a photo of Kitty Bertrand showing her ring with the caption, “Happy Birthday to my FIANCÉE.”
• On August 22, Maynard said a second DNA test requested by Charlotte Chilton at a Ministry of Justice–accredited facility she chose confirmed he is not Penelope’s father and that the results were conclusive.
• An initial test publicized in March also excluded him, which Chilton’s side had challenged over alleged procedural issues including an unidentified male at sampling and a last‑minute location change.
• Following the retest outcome, a representative for Chilton thanked supporters, cited advisors Lorna McCammon of SFR Law and Paul Lunt of Brabners, and said she would take time to process the result before speaking further.
• Maynard described the 18‑month public dispute, which began after an encounter linked to The Traitors, as difficult for him and his family and said he hopes all parties can now move on.
