Cardi B’s boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, is facing allegations of fathering a baby girl earlier this year with model Aileen Lopera, as revealed in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The lawsuit states that the New England Patriots wide receiver, aged 31, has been accused by Lopera, known as Lord Gisselle on Instagram, of fathering their daughter, who was born in April. The legal dispute began when Lopera filed documents against Diggs in December 2024 while she was pregnant with their child, seeking legal and physical custody of the baby while granting Diggs visitation rights.
In response, Diggs contested the paternity claim and requested genetic testing to ascertain if he is indeed the father. He also expressed his desire for joint legal and physical custody, as well as shared financial responsibilities for pregnancy-related expenses. The baby, named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, was given Diggs’ last name by Lopera. Tamar G. Arminak, Lopera’s attorney, conveyed her client’s anticipation for Diggs’ acknowledgement and provision for their daughter in Los Angeles. Representatives for Diggs have not yet responded to requests for comments on the matter.
This development comes shortly after Cardi B made public her pregnancy with her fourth child, the first with Diggs, scheduled to arrive before her upcoming tour launch in February. In a pre-recorded interview for CBS Mornings, Cardi joyfully shared, “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs.” She expressed her happiness and strength in balancing her work commitments with the anticipation of welcoming a new addition to the family.
