It could be that Chris broke up with her soon after quarantine as filming started on MAFS in early Summer.
Whether Chris knew he had a baby on the way or not when filming started remains to be seen. But promos for the MAFS show he definitely knew during filming because he must tell his new wife Paige about it. Will Paige Banks ask for a divorce on Decision Day? That remains to be seen as the season unfolds.
