Annica Bowling, 33, filed the suit against her ex-husband and another man named Gavin Vatnsdal, in a Minnesota court.

According to court records, a “genetic test report” was entered into the lawsuit on March 7, 2024, but details were not readily available.

The Post has previously reported that the pair were married in 2010 and share custody of an 8-year-old daughter named Isabella.

Records, which were obtained by The Post, show that the girl was their only “joint” child during the marriage, which ended in 2019. Annica later gave birth to another child in late 2020.

The lawsuit seems to allege that the child’s paternity, who is now 3, is still in question, however, it is unclear as she is still a minor.

Annica and Joshua’s 2022 divorce papers further state that the infant is referred to as “Isabella’s half-sister.”

It is reported that Joshua and his new bride are very close with Isabella, who attended her father’s union and appears in many photos of the event.

Several of the pictures show Abby, now her stepmother, and Brittany laughing and hugging her.
