28-year-old Hailey Custer of Wickenburg learned the devastating news after delivering the baby to her unnamed best friend and even giving the baby their first bath. Custer said she knew something was off after noticing the baby’s birth defect was similar to her husband’s. ‘I’m very familiar with the defect because my older son has it – it’s an extra piece of cartilage that grows out of the side of his neck,’ she explained. After confronting her husband, Travis Bowling,36, about the alleged affair, he later confessed to cheating during their marriage.
Although she was heartbroken by the reveal, Custer decided to help her friend with the baby since she reportedly didn’t have anywhere else to go. ‘I kept thinking of my kids, at the end of the day that is their blood sibling and I’m not going to be the one who causes harm to that child.’ Custer said.

Custer explained the story on TikTok where it earned almost 3.4 million views and discussed her drug addiction as well before sobering up once she learned she was pregnant with her first child.
‘Now we have this innocent child who had no say in this whole situation, you have someone who doesn’t have anywhere to go, who has no family, we’re not going to kick them to the streets. I kept thinking of my kids, at the end of the day that is their blood sibling and I’m not going to be the one who causes harm to that child. So, she ended up staying with us. We stayed friends right after. I was upset, don’t get me wrong, but she stayed at our house,’ she also said on TikTok. ‘She helped with my kids and I helped with her kid. We basically played house together while he was out doing whatever he wanted to do. They stayed with us and I ended up taking care of the baby. The dad was never around, still battling addiction, and couldn’t take responsibility – he didn’t want to admit it was his. There were a couple of instances where he came home, and he was upset and he actually physically abused both of us.’
The pair have remained friends to this day and Custer has remarried.
