The Mother of the Baby on 'Girls' Wants You to Know Her Son Is Not Black

The plot thickens...

Fans watching the season finale of Girls may’ve been a little surprised to see that Hannah, played by Lena Dunham, gave birth to a Black baby boy.

Well, the race part has now been put in parentheses because the alleged actual mother of baby Grover says her son isn’t actually Black.

“1st off my (baby) who plays Grover isn't Black! He's Puerto Rican & His Dad is Haitian, does is matter? He fit the role to a T & he's gorgeous!” Jaclyn Nichole, the boy’s mother, said in a tweet replying to a person wondering who the baby’s mother is.

What’s confusing is that, in the show, Hannah gets pregnant by a Pakistani surfing instructor, played by Riz Ahmed. So people are wondering how her son even turned out to be Black.

Kind of confusing. Anyway, below are pictures of real life Grover. He is quite cute.
