When Taylor Parker spent ten months faking a pregnancy, she did it for one man - her boyfriend, Wade Griffin, a local hog trapper from Texas.
As the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct is set to release on June 12, 2026, Griffin is one of the key figures revisiting the case on camera.
The documentary follows the story of Taylor Parker, a young woman claiming to come from a wealthy family, who fell for Griffin, a local hog trapper in a small east Texas town.
Within months, she was pregnant, proudly showing off her baby bump all over social media.
Griffin described his relationship with Taylor Parker as an “emotional rollercoaster”.
He testified that Parker had indicated she was pregnant early in their relationship, but that it ended in a miscarriage.
In January 2020, she told him she was pregnant again, but Griffin was not entirely convinced.
Parker had undergone a tubal ligation in 2014 and a medically necessary hysterectomy in 2015, making pregnancy impossible.
Griffin testified that he was merely a boyfriend and that Parker always had an excuse for her actions.
He currently resides in East Texas, where he works as a roofer, welder, and hog trapper.
