Here is the first photo of the three-month-old baby a Californian woman has alleged was secretly fathered by the pop world's biggest teen idol, Justin Bieber.
Mariah Yeater, 20, is pictured on the cover of U.S. magazine Star with her son, Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater, who was born on July 6.
In news which has stunned the world, the 17-year-old superstar has been named in a paternity lawsuit which she filed on October 31.
Yeater has asked the star to submit to a paternity test, and is asking Bieber 'to provide adequate support for my baby', the result of a tryst she alleged lasted no longer than 30 seconds.
In a legal statement, sworn under penalty of perjury, Yeater told a California court that Bieber propositioned her on October 25 of last year, when she was 19 after his concert and at L.A.'s Staples Center.

According to U.S. website Radar Online, Yeater told a judge: 'When I later realized I was pregnant with Justin Bieber's baby, I tried to contact him through his representatives but no one ever called me back.'
'Based upon the timing as well as the fact there were no other possible men that I had sex with that could be the father of this baby, I believe that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of my baby.'
Bieber spoke out for the first time since the allegations emerged today.
He took to his Twitter page telling fans that he was choosing to ignore the rumours and rather concentrate on his music.
'So Im [sic] going to ignore the rumours...and focus on what is real an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!' Justin tweeted to his fans this morning.
Bieber's spokesperson has vehemently denied the allegations, and told website Radar: 'While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims.

'We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.'
Yeater wrote a detailed statement about meeting her idol in papers submitted to a Los Angeles court.
She claims she was approached by a security guard while seated in the front row of the star's concert and asked if she wanted to meet the singer backstage.
'Shortly thereafter, Justin Bieber suggested that I go with him to a private place where we could be alone.
'I agreed to go with him and on the walk to a private area, he told me he wanted to make love to me and this was going to be his first time.
'We went inside and immediately his personality changed drastically. He began touching me and repeatedly said he wanted to f*** the s*** out of me.

'At the time I asked him to put a condom on for protection, but he insisted that he did not want to.'
'In his own words, he said that because it was his first time he wanted to feel everything.'
She is said to have described the intercourse as 'brief', lasting 'approximately 30 seconds'.
However, Yeater's claim that she had sex with the star when she was 19 and he was aged 16 would mean under California law that he was underage.
What will Selena say?
And if the claims turn out to be true Yeater could lay herself open to a charge of statutory rape of a minor and would at least be guilty of a misdemeanour. But she would not have to register as sex offender if a conviction was upheld.
Yeater claims that after the encounter he refused to give her his phone number, and was 'not interested' in writing down her contact details.
She says that after learning she was pregnant she tried to get in touch with him via his representatives, but there was no response to her calls.
A court hearing is said to have been set for December 15.
