After news broke that Keshia Knight Pulliam's husband Ed Hartwell filed for divorce while she is in the middle of her pregnancy, fans were left confused as to why the athlete would do such a thing. Now, the reported reason as to why he's asking for a paternity test has been revealed.

According to People, a source close Hartwell is saying that though the NFL star "doesn't have any evidence of her cheating," he wants a paternity test because he is concerned about the timing of the pregnancy.

"It's just that he had told her he wanted to wait before having a baby and things got really bad between them and then she pops up pregnant," the source said. "He even told her he didn't want to release the bump picture so soon, but she did it anyway."

The source continued, saying that Hartwell "just wants to make sure that just because they were married he still covers his bases and gets everything checked out."
