Anthony Scaramucci is demanding a paternity test for the newborn son whose birth he missed while at his brief stint in the White House.
The Mooch believes his estranged, Deidre Ball, was impregnated by someone else while he was working for President Donald Trump, a source told Page Six.
In the midst of a bitter divorce, Ball is mortified by the accusations and insists that the child is his.

She even went as far to hire popular Manhattan divorce attorneys Bernard Clair and Dan Rottenstreich from Cohen Clair Lans Griefer Thorpe & Rottenstreich LLP.
‘Things are heating up in the divorce. He doesn’t believe that child is his, a source told Page Six.

‘You don’t make that sort of claim unless you are nuts. He will be easily proven wrong.’
The paternity test hasn’t been conducted yet, according to the source, and will have to be ordered by the judge handling the divorce.
Deidre, 38, filed for divorce when she was nine months pregnant on July 6 at the Nassau County Supreme Court.
James, their son, was born two weeks early in July and had to be admitted to the neo-natal unit at Lenox Hill Hospital.
The then-White House communications director sent a text to his wife at the hospital saying ‘Congratulations, I’ll pray for our child,’ and didn’t see the baby until six days later.
They also have a four-year-old son named Nicholas, while The Mooch has two children from a previous marriage.

Following an outburst against Steven Bannon and Reince Priebus to a New Yorker reporter, Scaramucci was let go after just 11 days on the job.
Scaramucci’s rep said in a statement, ‘Mr. Scaramucci looks forward to resolving this case through appropriate legal channels with her chosen legal counsel.’ He declined to comment on the paternity issue.
Ball filed the lawyer change notice at the court house on Wednesday.

The duo denied dating claims when Showbizz 411 reported that they’d gone ‘co-op shopping’ before his divorce. A source close to Guilfoyle told People that, ‘They share the same real estate agent in New York and she lives in The Beresford and he was looking in the Beresford.’
People’s source added: ‘I can assure you there is no love affair going on, there’s never been anything physical between those two, they are fond of each other.’
