According to court documents obtained by the news outlet, Josh, 34, and Annica, 33, were married for nine years before separating in April 2019.

The pair has joint custody of their 8-year-old daughter, Isabella — though based on the new paternity lawsuit, Josh could also be the father of Annica's other child.

The legal papers revealed Annica welcomed a second daughter in late 2020, however, the toddler's name has been kept secret.

It remains unclear whether the lawsuit filed against Josh had to do with Isabella or if it involves the little girl born in late 2020, but it seems Annica is trying to figure out who her youngest daughter's father is.

The court case intensified after Annica filed documents in Washington County, Minn., where she requested DNA samples from both Josh and one of her other past romantic partners Gavin Vatnsdal in an effort to resolve the paternity dispute.

Just last month, a "genetic test report" was filed with the court, though the results have been kept confidential, per the news publication.

The paternity dispute erupted right around the same time Abby's secret November 2021 marriage ceremony with Josh came to light last week.

Abby and Josh's union was kept private, however, the legal authentication of court records publicly exposed the pair had tied the knot more than two years ago.
