Nathan Hamill's Ex Accused Mark Hamill of Pressuring Her to Terminate Her Pregnancy

In 2016, Maegan Chen, a former erotic actress, claimed she was pregnant with Nathan Hamill's baby and wanted to confirm paternity and collect child support. However, Chen stated that Hamill's family failed to cooperate and pressured her to have an abortion.

Chen claimed Mark told her not to bring a child nobody wants into the world and that his son wasn't ready to be a father. According to Chen, she met Nathan in 2015 through Tinder, and the two kicked it off immediately. They met in Los Angeles on their first date and hung out in a bar on New Year's Eve.
