BJ Penn facing paternity lawsuit from mother of one-year-old daughter

A little over a year ago, former UFC champion B.J. Penn added a new milestone to his life when he became a new father to a baby girl. In June, “The Prodigy” introduced his daughter Mahina to the world through social media.

As stated on the post, BJ’s daughter bears his last name. But that is not legally the case according to the girl’s mother Camila Amado.

Amado recently spoke to MMA Fighting and touched on the paternity lawsuit she filed against Penn. Combate reports that the Brazilian pilates instructor filed the case in Rio de Janeiro in November.
