TikToker Hannah Benta has admitted that Captain Samir is the father of her child, months after initially denying the claims.
In a heartfelt post shared on Sunday, March 8, 2026, Benta confirmed the widely circulated reports about her child’s paternity, explaining that her earlier denial was an attempt to protect her emotional peace.
“Yes, the story is true,” she wrote while addressing speculation that had spread across social media and online platforms.
“Motherhood Changed My Priorities”
Benta explained that becoming a mother significantly shifted her priorities, saying her child’s emotional well-being now comes before her personal pride.
“When you become a mother, your pride takes a back seat,” she said.
“I promised myself that I would never let my child experience the void of growing up without a father’s love, something I deeply understand.”
Why She Initially Denied the Claims
According to Benta, she denied the paternity claims earlier because she and Samir were no longer in a relationship at the time and she wanted to avoid the pressure of public scrutiny.
She said the decision was meant to help her cope with the intense media attention and protect her peace.
“Denying it before was me trying to protect my peace. Speaking up now is me protecting my child’s future,” she explained.
Open to Co-Parenting
Benta also revealed that she is open to co-parenting if Samir is willing to take responsibility and be actively involved in their child’s life.
“If Samir is ready to step up, be present, and provide… then I say YES to co-parenting,” she stated.
The TikToker emphasized that her main focus is raising a child who feels loved, supported, and well provided for.
Relationship Fallout
Benta and Captain Samir reportedly ended their relationship in June 2025 after a public fallout, with Samir accusing her of being unfaithful and dating multiple people during their relationship.
The latest revelation has once again sparked conversation online as fans react to the new development in their story.
