"These numbers might have been much smaller had DNA testing been around while I was growing up," he added in a separate post.
"No interest at this point," he continued.
"To me, legacy has nothing to do with blood and everything to do with the understanding that every child who crosses your path, is your child."
In a 2019 interview with The Sun, McAfee revealed that his kids were aged between 16 and 47.
