However, recognizing Bray's determination, Dean stated, "Yes, he is [my son] and he came to me recently saying he wanted to start [an OnlyFans account], I tried to put him off at first because it can be bad, he was adamant so I took him under my wing and said I’d help."

Others questioned the sincerity of Dean's motives, suggesting that the familial narrative might be a marketing strategy. In defense, Dean addressed these criticisms by affirming the authenticity of their relationship and even shared old family photos to quell doubts, assuring everyone of his unwavering support: "Yes, I’m a daddy, and I kept it quiet as I didn’t want him to be part of this life, but it's his decision, and I support him 100%" .
