If you just finished that breakneck finale of Ginny & Georgia season 3, your head is probably spinning faster than Georgia’s web of lies. One second she’s dodging a life sentence for murder, and the next, she’s staring at a positive pregnancy test while chugging milk straight from the carton. Classic Georgia. But the million-dollar question—the one currently setting Reddit on fire—is simple: who is the father of Georgia’s baby?
Honestly, the showrunners did us dirty with the timing here. They’ve left us with two very plausible, very messy options. It’s either the now-ex-husband Mayor Paul Randolph or the long-suffering, "Blue Farm" king himself, Joe.
Let's get into the weeds of why this is such a headache to figure out.
The case for Paul: Timing and irony
Most fans are leaning toward Paul. Why? Because the narrative irony is just too "Georgia" to ignore. In season 3, Georgia literally faked a pregnancy using Ginny’s positive test to try and keep Paul from leaving her. It was a desperate, scorched-earth move that eventually blew up in her face when Paul realized he’d been played.
But here’s the kicker. During that period where she was pretending to be pregnant, she and Paul actually had sex. Paul, believing she was already expecting his child, likely wasn't worried about protection. Life has a funny way of kicking Georgia Miller when she’s down, and her becoming actually pregnant with the man she just lied to about being pregnant is the kind of poetic justice the writers love.

If Paul is the father, it keeps him tethered to the story. He’s currently furious, living with his parents, and essentially done with her. A baby changes that. It forces a man who values "legacy" and "family" to deal with a woman he now considers a "serial killer."
Why it might actually be Joe
Then there’s Joe. Finally. Finally. After seasons of pining and shared glances over sunglasses, Georgia and Joe actually went there. In episode 8, "Is That a Packed Lunch," they hook up. It was fueled by Georgia’s realization that she couldn't keep running and Joe’s "screw it" attitude toward her confessing to multiple murders.
If Joe is the father, it changes the entire DNA of the show. Georgia has never had a child with a man she actually loved or felt safe with. Zion was a teenage dream; Gil was a nightmare. Joe is her equal.
The milk clue
Keep an eye on the details. In the final moments of the season, Georgia is seen drinking milk. If you remember way back, she mentioned she craved milk when she was pregnant with Ginny and Austin. The show is telling us she knows she's pregnant, but the timeline between her night with Joe and her nights with Paul is so tight that even a DNA test might be the only way to settle the score in season 4.

What the creators are saying (or hiding)
Show creator Sarah Lampert hasn't been shy about the fact that the writers' room was "utterly divided" on this choice. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly and Just Jared recently, she mentioned there is "one clear answer" already decided for season 4, but they aren't leaking it.
Even Raymond Ablack (Joe) admitted he’s in the dark, though he’s rooting for Joe to be the dad.
Real-world Georgia news: Don't get confused
It’s worth noting that if you’re seeing headlines about "Georgia" having a baby in real life, you might be looking at Georgia Harrison. The former Love Island star just welcomed a daughter, Sahara Jean Stacey, with her partner Jack Stacey in late 2025.
Similarly, Georgia Toffolo (Toff) recently married BrewDog founder James Watt in a surprise ceremony in Scotland. While people are hunting for "baby" news there, she’s currently just in the "newlywed" phase.

What happens next?
Season 4 is confirmed, and the paternity mystery is going to be the engine that drives it. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, here is what you should be watching for when the new episodes drop:
- The First Doctor's Visit: Watch the "weeks along" count carefully. If Georgia is 8 weeks along in the premiere, the math points to Paul. If she's only 4 or 5, Joe is the guy.
- Austin’s Reaction: Austin just lied in court to save his mom, claiming his dad Gil killed Tom Fuller. He’s fragile. A new sibling—especially one fathered by Paul, who Austin feels abandoned by—will be a powder keg.
- The Divorce Papers: Paul filed for divorce, but a pregnancy in Massachusetts (where the show is set) can sometimes complicate the finalization of a divorce.
The smartest thing to do right now is re-watch the last three episodes of season 3. Pay close attention to the wardrobe and the passage of days. The writers usually leave breadcrumbs in the background dialogue about how much time has passed between the "fake" pregnancy and the finale.
