Kelly said she originally said that she was the mother of the kids because she considers herself to be like a mom to them.
According to a report by CNN, the children's real mother was identified as Shadia Hilo and their father David Allison. It also emerged that the kid's father, Allison, was also Kelly's boyfriend.
GoFundMe to hold onto the cash
The cash donations from well-wishers came in through GoFundMe but the platform has said that it will hold on to the donations until the information was verified.

Yoh: Man exposes a boyfriend asking him not to text his girl, SA has no chill
In more spicy news about people getting exposed, Briefly News previously reported that a Zimbabwean man has got Twitter buzzing after revealing an interesting text from one woman's boyfriend begging the hunk not to steal his girl. It seems the questionable girlfriend commented on many of the handsome man's photos.
Heading online, @miyamikolee shared screenshots from the convo which definitely left many locals feeling sad for the boyfriend.
"Sis, you know yourself," he captioned the post.
Social media users certainly had very passionate reactions to the post. While some questioned @miyamikolee for putting the desperate boyfriend on blast, others pitied the poor lover for thinking his girl could be faithful.

@RealTalkFadzie said:
"This guy has no sense of pride and dignity whatsoever, he seems very desperate. Such behaviour repels women and they will never treat you with respect nor will they genuinely desire you."
@Mackey_Silobela said:
"I don't know why you did this after the man asked you nicely and privately. Is it for clout? Oro kanji?"
@Evidence_Shongw said:
"I’d never go that low for a h**, I’m sorry."
@rue_kat said:
"She's clearly not your girl if she's making questionable comments on other men's pictures. You are choosing to ignore blatant red flags in the post that are slapping you in the face."
@wenyu_taku said:
"Shame, so this man will always be pleading with other men not to entertain his girl. What happened to self-respect?"
