A Lianhe Zaobao report published on Friday said that the woman, 26, had come here from Shanghai, with her daughter, to look for the father of the child, whom she claimed is a MediaCorp actor.
The story did not name the actor but netizens speculated that he was Cao.
The 45-year-old bachelor did not respond to Life!'s attempts to contact him, but he was quoted on Friday by Shin Min Daily News as saying: "There's no such thing."
A spokesman for his company MediaCorp said: "As this is a private matter, MediaCorp will not be commenting for this story."
The woman, identified only as Ms Shi in the Zaobao report, said that things began from a one-night stand in Shanghai in 2010 after she met the actor at a party.
