* Shows up in ''{{Supernatural}}'' of all places. Dean meets an old flame who has a son who acts and looks like a mini-Dean and was born roughly nine months after they were together. The woman assures him that the son is not his and the real father left them shortly after her son was born. Some fans, however, [[WildMassGuessing theorize]] that she was lying, although this possibility is never addressed in-show. Dean eventually [[spoiler: settles down with them after Sam's death, but leaves when Sam comes back and winds up having Cas erase their memories of him to protect them.]]

* In ''{{Dishonored}}'' we never know who Emily's father is, but it is heavily hinted it is [[spoiler:Corvo, too bad we [[SilentProtagonist never can hear an answer from himself]].]]

* Another central concept of the trope - the {{Fox}} reality show ''Who's Your Daddy?'', a show that makes ''Maury'' seem entertaining. A person who had been adopted as an infant must pick out his or her biological father out of a group of 25 men. It gained a lot of controversy and massive backlash and was pulled off the air after only one episode. The remaining 5 episodes aired on their reality cable channel.

[[KindergartenCop ...and what does he do?]]

* Done with Lori Grimes from ''TheWalkingDead''. The truth is speculated on, but never revealed.

* [[ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], technically. His mother was -- *shudder* -- gang raped by 100 maniacs.

* Hachi's first pregnancy in ''{Nana}''. It remains unclear which of two possible men fathered her son.

See also GeneHunting, in which ''the child'' seeks his or her parentage. Nothing to do with the stock phrase used when [[BringItOn one person taunts another in a fight.]]

* The paternity of Aeryn's pregnancy became a prevalent source of angst during season four of {{Farscape}}. Thanks to FantasyContraception, Peacekeeper females can hold an embryo in stasis for up to seven cycles (years), so Aeryn had no way of knowing if the child was Crichton's until she made it to a medical facility near the end of the season.

* On ''TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'', there were two candidates for the father of Anne's son: George, her ex-husband and her new boyfriend. The boyfriend had been told he was sterile, but George had gotten a vasectomy years earlier, so everyone assumed that the boyfriend was, in fact, not sterile and the father. Then George confessed that he had lied about getting a vasectomy, the boyfriend [[PutOnABus broke up with Anne and left]] and that was that. There was a brief instant right after the baby was born where George wasn't sure if the baby looked like him, but that was quickly dropped. They never did a DNA test, but the show has made it clear that George is the father.

* TheMiracleOfMorgansCreek is an odd example: She bumps her head at a farewell party for draftees, gets married and pregnant in her [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything temporarily poor judgment]], and then never remembers who her husband is.

* This pops up with Claudia Black again in season 9 of StargateSG1. Vala, upon accidentally arriving in the Ori galaxy, finds herself pregnant with no explanation and gets married to avoid punishment from the incredibly religious townspeople. Vala and her husband do eventually find out that the child is "the will of the Ori", making Vala's pregnancy a rather dark take on immaculate conception.

In modern times, DNA testing can confirm doubts. In older tales, ChocolateBaby or another UncannyFamilyResemblance may be the only way to resolve it.
