Replying to his post, one supporter replied: “Congrats bear. Keep up the YouTube vids they’re jokes.”
Another praised: “Congratulations I have twins they’re the best.”
Some eagle-eyed followers noticed the scan pic appeared to be taken from a historic blog post from 2019 which had no connection to Bear.

After reading out a string of replies, he added: “I feel like you can’t have any jokes any more in this society.
“I don’t know if it is just Twitter. Everyone is so miserable and angry.
“They are so annoyed I have done a tweet pretending I am having twins.”
Bear is currently dating 18-year-old Tia McAlister.
Little is known about the blonde, but it’s thought she works as a beautician and hairdresser and has known Bear since last year.
The couple are reported to have got matching Capricorn star sign tattoos to show their love for one another.
Due to the age gap of over a decade, sources claim Tia’s pals have tried to warn her off a relationship with Bear.
An insider told The Sun: “Several friends have tried to warn Tia against Bear due to the huge age gap, but because he’s famous she sees this as an opportunity.
“She is an aspiring influencer, so she’d use this as a way of getting in the limelight.”
