Ex: I'm father of octuplets

Denis Beaudoin claims that he is the father of the California octuplets. HLN's Christi Paul has more.

The former boyfriend of the California woman who gave birth to 8 babies last month. He is speaking out. His name is Denis Beaudoin. And he thinks that he could be the biological father, not only of the octuplets but possibly Nadya Suleman's 6 other children. He says they had a 3-year relationship started back in 1997. Beaudoin says he did donate his sperm to Suleman 3 times without asking any questions because he was young and in love. Suleman has denied Beaudoin as the father but he says her word isn’t good enough. He wants to know the truth. In his interview with ABC, Beaudoin really became visibly emotional. Take a look.

I just think about my oldest son. Really hurt. Our relationship is, yes, is really hurt to this day. I would like a DNA test, you know. And whether, like I said, whether or not, it is or it isn’t, you know, I still extend my hand and help.

And Beaudoin has 2 sons of his own and he says his own custody battle has taught him how damaging a situation like that can be for children.
