And despite Chastain insisting that Ben did not father her baby, her social media filled up with comments such as “He’s very cute, my first thought was that he looks just like Ben!! Anyone else think so.” However, others focused on Captain Lee’s comments. Will the Stud Of The Sea become little Sullivan Cay’s godfather? Fans hope so!
