Cardi B’s new man, Diggs, (middle) has asked for DNA test to resolve the case involving Lopera (R)
Cardi B may have recently announced that she’s expecting a baby with Stefon Diggs, but it appears the NFL star has a paternity case to resolve, as a model is claiming that he’s the father of her months-old baby.
According to TMZ, Aileen Lopera, an influencer and model, was pregnant when she filed a petition in Los Angeles County in December 2024 to confirm parental relationship.
At the time, Lopera, who goes by the username Lord Gisselle on social media, claimed in the petition that her yet-to-be-born baby’s father was Diggs, 31.
But the New England Patriots wide receiver stated that he was “not certain” about being the father of the child. Lopera welcomed her baby in April, and Diggs, who filed a response in July, claimed that he couldn’t tell if he was indeed her father. Diggs asked for official genetic testing to resolve the case.
Lopera and Diggs were ultimately ordered to undergo genetic testing after a judge signed a stipulation on July 17. But it could not be established whether Lopera and Diggs had undergone the tests. It could also not be determined if there was ultimately an outcome, that is if the pair had indeed done the tests.
“My client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles,” Tamar Arminak, who is Lopera’s lawyer, told The U.S. Sun.
Diggs is currently dating Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, 32. On Wednesday, Cardi, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, announced she was expecting her first child with the NFL star. The ‘Am I the Drama’? rapper already shares three children with her estranged husband and fellow rapper, Offset.
And though Cardi ultimately broke the news about her pregnancy, Diggs opted to remain mum during a press conference.
“Oh, my personal life? I told you about that. We don’t talk too much about my personal life,” he told a reporter. “But, I heard about that.”
Despite opting to stay silent, Diggs, in a social media comment, stated that he wanted a baby boy. Diggs is already the father of an 8-year-old girl.
