Celebrity Apprentice star Jarrod Scott embroiled in paternity battle with Costa Rican ex-girlfriend

Jarrod Scott and girlfriend Brioney Prier recently welcomed their daughter Clementine into the world, but it seems the newborn may not be his first child.

The Aussie model and Celebrity Apprentice star, 33, is currently embroiled in a paternity battle with an ex-flame who claims he is the father of her daughter.

Costa Rican model Natasha Fleming claims daughter Alana, five, was conceived during a short tryst with Jarrod in 2017, reports The Daily Telegraph on Thursday.  

‘I waited because I thought that he needed to mature. When we met, he was 27, and I wanted to give him the time to assimilate to everything,’ the talent agency director, 36, told the publication.

‘I thought he would be curious as time went by to want to meet his own daughter. I told him I was pregnant in April 2017 and we had a 20-minute phone call.’

Natasha went on to claim that it’s been a battle ever since to get Jarrod involved in her daughter’s life, and alleges that he’s been ignoring her messages on the matter.

Meanwhile, Jarrod, who is adjusting to life as a new father, admitted to having a brief fling with Natasha but said he’s unsure if Alana is his child. 

‘We were both single at the time. I don’t know whether what she says about her daughter is true,’ he said.

‘I waited because I thought that he needed to mature. When we met, he was 27, and I wanted to give him the time to assimilate to everything,’ the talent agency director told the publication

‘I intend to have a dialogue with Natasha about that, but will do so privately.’

He went on to say Natasha’s claims are ‘deeply private’ and ‘have the potential to impact on the wellbeing of two young innocent children’. 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Jarrod to confirm his comment.  

Jarrod and Brioney began dating early last year before she quickly fell pregnant. 

He told The Daily Telegraph in November he was ‘super excited’ to announced his girlfriend was pregnant with Clementine.
