A fresh chapter has unfolded in the paternity suit involving NFL star Stefon Diggs. The athlete, currently expecting a baby with the musical sensation Cardi B, has been confirmed as the father of model Aileen Lopera's seven-month-old daughter, according to a statement released by her attorney, Tamar G. Arminak. "We can confirm that Mr. Diggs is indeed the father," Arminak told People on November 6th. "We hope he will meaningfully contribute to the child's life and co-parent alongside our client, who has been a solo parent thus far."
E! News reached out to a representative for Diggs but has yet to receive a response. Lopera, also known as Lord Gisselle on social media, first filed documents against Diggs while still pregnant in December 2024, seeking to "determine a parental relationship of their unborn baby," as per documents obtained by People in September. The model requested sole physical and legal custody of the baby girl, named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, while asking the court to award Diggs visitation rights.
Initially contesting the baby's paternity and requesting genetic testing to confirm his fatherhood, Diggs, 31, also requested joint legal and physical custody as well as shared responsibility for "reasonable expenses" related to the pregnancy, birth, and attorney's fees if the test came back positive.
Following the public announcement of the paternity suit, Cardi responded during an Instagram Live video, referencing Shirley Brown's 1974 song "Woman to Woman," in which a woman confronts her partner's mistress. "That's your baby daddy, b---h?" she asked during the September stream, per Page Six. "That's my baby daddy, too." The "WAP" singer added, "What now? I don't f--king know. We'll figure it out, b---h."
For now, Cardi and Stefon are focused on her pregnancy and their growing family. Stefon recently revealed the gender of the new baby: "It's a boy," he told People in an interview on November 4th. "That's enough for me." The Patriots player expressed his excitement about bonding with his son, saying, "I can't wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around."
Meanwhile, Cardi—who shares kids Kulture, 7; Wave, 4; and Blossom, 13 months, with estranged husband Offset—is not only busy with her pregnancy but also preparing for her Little Miss Drama World Tour, which kicks off next February. But she's not letting her demanding schedule get the best of her. "I feel very strong," she shared on CBS Mornings in September. "I feel very powerful that I'm doing all this work, but I'm doing all this work while I'm creating a baby." And she's grateful to have Diggs by her side. "He just makes me feel safe and very confident," she gushed. "And it makes you feel like you could take over the world."
