Joey Fatone Relieved Illegitimate Child Story Is Dead

Pop star JOEY FATONE is breathing a sigh of relief after learning a report he fathered a four-year-old lovechild is untrue.

The former 'N Sync singer was stunned when tabloid reports recently linked him to a fatherless young girl.

But the claim has since been disproved.

He says, "Someone said that I had a four-year-old daughter and it was in the tabloids.

"This wacky lady, basically, was just like, 'Yeah, this is your kid!'

"It was completely... not true. It was just odd, it was the weirdest thing."

Fatone has a seven-year-old daughter Briahna with wife Kelly Baldwin.
