The Steve Wilkos Show Season 16 Episode 16 He Didn't Just Cheat, He Had A Baby

He Didn't Just Cheat, He Had A Baby is the sixteenth episode of the sixteenth season of The Steve Wilkos Show. In this episode, Steve Wilkos takes on the tough cases of infidelity and hidden paternity tests, as couples who believed they had a monogamous relationship and were ready to build a family are hit by a harsh reality of betrayal and lies.

We first meet a young couple, John and Rachel, who have been together for years. Rachel is expecting their first child, and everything seemed perfect until a fling of John’s came back to haunt them. The other girl, Donna, claimed that she had a child with John and that he had been ignoring them for years. The news struck Rachel’s heart, and she had come on the show to get the truth out of John and confront Donna.

As John gets on the stage, he denies Donna’s claims and says that he had no idea about the child. He had only cheated on Rachel once, and he confessed his mistake to her. Rachel hoped that it was the only time, but Donna’s allegations left her confused. Donna comes next, and she wastes no time in telling John that his neglect had caused her and their child immense grief. She accuses John of lying to Rachel, and when asked for proof, she has a DNA certificate that confirms John as her baby’s father.

The revelation leaves Rachel in tears, and she curses John for ruining their relationship and for the emotional trauma that he has brought upon the other girl and their baby. Steve tries to calm her down and offers to help them with counseling and legal assistance. He also takes John and Donna’s DNA to verify the results. The moment of truth is intense, as the entire audience waits with bated breath to see who is telling the truth.

The DNA results confirm that John is the father of Donna’s child, and Rachel is shattered. John pleads for forgiveness, but Rachel leaves the stage, saying that their relationship is over. Donna is emotional and says that she is looking for financial support from John to take care of their child. Steve is empathetic to both parties and advises them to work out an arrangement outside the court. He reminds them that the baby’s well-being is the priority.

In the next segment, we meet another couple, Brad and Lisa, who have been married for seven years and have two children. Brad confesses that he cheated on Lisa with her best friend, Kelly, and that they had been carrying on an affair for more than a year. Lisa is stunned and cannot fathom how her friend could do such a thing to her. Brad says that he had her permission for the affair and had not meant to hurt her.

Kelly comes on the stage, and the truth unfolds. She admits that she had feelings for Brad and had wanted to be with him even before he got married. She had always known that Brad was married, but had persisted with him anyway. Lisa is hurt and says that she cannot forgive Kelly for what she has done. She feels betrayed and suggests that Brad and Kelly should be together if they love each other so much.

Brad tries to appeal to Lisa, saying that the affair was over and that he wanted to make things work for their family, but Lisa is obstinate. Steve tries to mediate and says that forgiveness takes time. He advises them to seek couple’s therapy and that Brad should cut off all communication with Kelly. Steve also tells Kelly that she needs to give her friend space and time to heal and not to reach out to her anymore.

The episode is an emotional rollercoaster, as the couples battle to save their relationships and mend their shattered trust. Steve delivers his message with compassion and understanding, and advises them to seek professional help. He reminds the audience that infidelity and hidden paternity tests can be traumatic and destructive, and that the best way to heal is by being honest and open with one another.
