=== The daughter === Radio personality Andy Dosty recently shared a story about a former girlfriend who may have had his daughter without his knowledge.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Somuah-Annan |first=Grace Afua |date=2023-09-10 |title="Herh women": Andy Dosty confesses his ex gave his child to another man, fans |url=https://yen.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/241450-andy-dosty-reveals-girlfriend-gave-child-peeps-react-video-a-dna-test/ |access-date=2023-09-14 |website=Yen.com.gh - Ghana news. |language=en}}</ref> Although the mother never confirmed it, the child strongly resembled him when he finally saw her at 13 or 15 years old, even more so than his biological siblings. Some believe he initially denied responsibility for the pregnancy, leading someone else to raise the child. The possibility of a DNA test has been suggested to resolve the situation definitively.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-12 |title=Andy Dosty's 'child' who mysteriously never became his |url=https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Andy-Dosty-s-child-who-mysteriously-never-became-his-1842566 |access-date=2023-09-14 |website=GhanaWeb |language=en}}</ref> Despite his ex-girlfriend's denial of paternity, he supported the child due to their strong resemblance. Andy provided for her education and needs but never pursued a DNA test because of their striking likeness. The child, now an adult, is believed to have married and lives in Durban. Surprisingly, Andy was never informed about her marriage. He reviewed that and recently learned that she has become a mother.
