On February 17, Rachel, a cashier at Celina 52 Truck Stop in Tennessee, welcomed her son, Cash Jamal Buckman. The fact that Rachel and her fiancé, Paul Buckman, are both white while Cash appears to be Black captured public attention.

The truck stop shared a photo of the happy family on Facebook, congratulating Rachel on her new arrival.

“Our cashier, Rachel, and her fiancé, Paul Buckman, are delighted to announce the birth of their son, Cash Jamal Buckman, at 6:18 p.m. on Saturday,” the post read.

However, the post received not only congratulations but also comments questioning Cash’s paternity, with some suggesting Paul might not be the biological father.

In response, Celina 52 Truck Stop updated their post: “Yes, Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA, which can skip generations, resulting in a child with darker skin. Cash might also have jaundice, a common condition in newborns. Please be kind.”

Despite the explanation, doubts and jokes persisted online.

One person wrote, “Congratulations!!! I’m sure he looks just like his father. Where is he?”

Another commented, “A DNA test is definitely needed; what if the babies were switched in the nursery?”

Many expressed sympathy for Paul, with one saying, “I feel for Paul; being deceived like this is on another level. I hope he realizes the truth.”

To clarify, Rachel posted her DNA results on Facebook, stating, “For those doubting my African American DNA, here are my ancestry results. Please stop slandering me and my fiancé, Paul Buckman. He is the father of Lil Cash.”

Despite her efforts, jokes continued, with many mocking the situation and questioning the test results.

One comment read, “That’s the strongest 1% I’ve ever seen… This sounds like something for Maury.”

Another user with similar DNA said, “I have that too… and both my kids still look as Irish as boiled potatoes.”

The story quickly went viral on social media, with thousands sharing their thoughts. TikTokers also added their humorous takes on the situation.

Celina 52 Truck Stop announced they would conduct polygraph and DNA tests for their employees amid ongoing speculation, adding more anticipation to the investigation’s outcome.

While the truth remains uncertain, this unexpected twist has undoubtedly captured widespread attention, turning a routine birth announcement into a viral sensation!
