In September 2025, a paternity lawsuit involving NFL star Stefon Diggs and model Aileen Lopera (also known as Lord Gisselle on Instagram) came to light, drawing widespread media attention. Lopera claims that Diggs is the biological father of her daughter, who was born in April 2025. According to court documents, Lopera initiated legal proceedings in December 2024, during her pregnancy, requesting a determination of parentage. Her filing also sought sole legal and physical custody of the child, though she expressed a willingness to allow Diggs visitation rights.
The child is named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera in court filings, suggesting that Lopera believes Diggs to be the father strongly enough to include his last name. This public revelation quickly triggered a response from Diggs, who denied confirmed paternity and requested a DNA test to determine biological fatherhood. In his response, Diggs expressed that if he is proven to be the child’s father, he would be willing to assume shared legal and physical custody and contribute equally to parenting responsibilities and related expenses.
In July 2025, a judge ruled that both parties must undergo genetic testing. As of now, the results of those tests have not been made public, and it remains unclear whether they have been completed. This leaves many questions about the future of this case unanswered and adds a layer of uncertainty to Diggs’ personal and legal life, especially as it intersects with other developments in his romantic relationships.
The case has received significant coverage due to the profile of those involved, but also because of the timing. The lawsuit has coincided with another major revelation — Cardi B’s pregnancy with Stefon Diggs, which has added a dramatic twist to the already complex situation.
Cardi B’s Pregnancy Announcement and Timing of Events
Cardi B made headlines in September 2025 when she confirmed that she is pregnant with Stefon Diggs’ child. This would be her fourth child, but the first with Diggs. The news was widely celebrated by fans and media alike, with Cardi B sharing that she felt “very strong, very powerful” about this new chapter in her life. The announcement painted a picture of excitement and renewal, especially after her public split from Offset. However, the timing of her revelation raised eyebrows due to the ongoing legal dispute involving Diggs and Lopera.
Although Cardi B and Diggs only went public with their relationship in May 2025, reports indicate that the two had been seeing each other privately since at least October 2024. That means when Lopera filed the lawsuit in December 2024, Diggs may have already been romantically involved with Cardi B. Whether or not Cardi was aware of the paternity suit at the time is unclear, but the fact that the claim predates her pregnancy does complicate the public narrative.
The media has picked up on the contrast between the celebratory tone of Cardi B’s pregnancy and the more contentious legal situation involving Lopera and Diggs. For some fans, it’s a moment of personal growth for the rapper. For others, it’s a reminder that celebrity relationships often come with behind-the-scenes drama, particularly when issues of parenthood and fidelity are involved.
Adding to the intrigue is the silence from Cardi B regarding the lawsuit. She has not commented publicly on the matter, instead keeping the focus on her career and upcoming motherhood. Whether this silence is a personal choice, a legal strategy, or a calculated media decision remains speculative, but it’s notable given the public scrutiny surrounding all involved parties.
What the Future Holds for All Parties Involved
With the legal proceedings ongoing and the paternity results still unknown to the public, the future remains uncertain for Stefon Diggs, Aileen Lopera, and Cardi B. Much hinges on whether or not Diggs is confirmed to be the biological father of Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera. If the DNA test proves positive, he may face long-term legal and financial responsibilities, including child support, medical expenses, and the emotional work of co-parenting with Lopera.
Diggs has stated that he would seek joint legal and physical custody if paternity is established, suggesting that he intends to play an active role in the child’s life. This could either lead to an amicable co-parenting arrangement or ignite further legal conflict, depending on how both parties approach the outcome. The current court order for genetic testing ensures that resolution is on the horizon, but how smooth or rocky that path will be remains to be seen.
The public implications are also significant. Cardi B’s pregnancy with Diggs adds complexity to how this story is perceived. While she has not spoken publicly about the lawsuit, the overlap in timelines could invite speculation about trust, timing, and honesty within her relationship. Public figures are often subject to intense scrutiny, and how Diggs handles both relationships moving forward could influence his reputation both on and off the field.
From Lopera’s perspective, her court filings indicate a strong belief that Diggs is the father. Including his surname in the child’s name and filing before the child’s birth shows an intent to establish that connection legally and publicly. Whether this is about accountability, financial support, or ensuring her daughter has access to both parents is something only she knows for sure.
It’s also important to consider the emotional toll on all involved. Cardi B is preparing for motherhood again, likely while processing the realities of her partner facing a paternity lawsuit. Diggs is navigating fame, fatherhood, and public pressure, all while maintaining a professional sports career. Lopera is dealing with early motherhood and the strain of a legal battle that’s now playing out under the national spotlight.
In the months ahead, attention will remain fixed on several unknowns: whether Diggs is indeed the father of Lopera’s daughter, how the court decides on custody and support, and how these developments will affect his relationship with Cardi B and his broader public image. For now, it’s a waiting game — one that plays out not just in courtrooms but also in the court of public opinion.
