Quoting%20commentary for Yevamot 4:12

הַמַּחֲזִיר גְּרוּשָׁתוֹ, וְהַנּוֹשֵׂא חֲלוּצָתוֹ, וְהַנּוֹשֵׂא קְרוֹבַת חֲלוּצָתוֹ, יוֹצִיא, וְהַוָּלָד מַמְזֵר, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין הַוָּלָד מַמְזֵר. וּמוֹדִים בְּנוֹשֵׂא קְרוֹבַת גְּרוּשָׁתוֹ, שֶׁהַוָּלָד מַמְזֵר:

One who takes back his divorcée [after she has remarried], and one who marries his chalutzah, [who is forbidden to him by (Deuteronomy 25:9): "who would not build his brother's house" — Once he did not build it (by having given chalitzah), he may build it no more], and one who marries the kin of his chalutzah, [R. Akiva holding that his chalutzah is like his wife, Scripture having referred to her as his "house," viz. (Ibid. 10): "the house of the removed shoe" (chalutz hana'al), and R. Akiva holding, too, that the child of an interdicted marriage is a mamzer. (The halachah is not so.)] must send her out and the child is a mamzer. These are the word of R. Akiva. And the sages say: The child is not a mamzer. And they concede that if one marries the kin of his divorcée, the child is a mamzer, [for his divorcée is like his wife, and her mother and her sister are under krithuth interdict.]
