The question on everyone’s lips: Did Stefon Diggs cheat on Cardi B? The paternity test results may have answered part of that drama. Diggs, the New England Patriots wide receiver and Cardi B’s NFL boyfriend, has been confirmed as the father of Instagram model Aileen Lopera’s baby, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera. Lopera’s attorney, Tamar Arminak, told Page Six on Wednesday:
The paternity has been confirmed. Mr. Diggs is the father of the child. Now that the child’s paternity has been established and Mr. Diggs has acknowledged his daughter, my client hopes they can work toward being great parents to their child.
While the paternity question is settled, Arminak emphasized the case is not fully dismissed and “will move forward if the parties are not able to resolve [their issue] themselves.”

The 31-year-old’s paternity was confirmed after genetic testing, officially naming him as the father of Lopera’s 7-month-old daughter. Arminak informed PEOPLE:
We can confirm that Mr. Diggs is the father. And, we are hopeful he will meaningfully contribute to the child’s life and coparent with our client who has had to do everything on her own thus far.
Meanwhile, Cardi B is expecting her first child with Diggs, due before her February tour kickoff. The rapper’s Instagram Live (via X) even hinted at the complexities of their entangled lives, referencing Shirley Brown’s 1974 song Woman to Woman and the overlapping connections between lovers past and present: “Hello, Barbara, this is Shirley. That’s your baby daddy, bitch? That’s my baby daddy, too. Well, what now? I don’t f—ing know. We’ll figure it out, b**ch.”
Inside the Paternity Suit Model Aileen Lopera Filed Against Cardi B’s Boyfriend Stefon Diggs
Instagram model Aileen Lopera, professionally known as Lord Gisselle, initially filed documents in December 2024 to legally establish the parental relationship with Stefon Diggs while she was pregnant. The filing requested both legal and physical custody for her child, while granting Diggs visitation rights.
The NFL icon initially contested paternity, requesting genetic testing to confirm the child was his. His filing also sought joint legal and physical custody, as well as shared financial responsibility for pregnancy, birth, and attorney fees. The documents revealed Lopera had named her daughter Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, officially including the professional athlete’s last name.
Arminak said at the time (via PEOPLE):
My client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles.
Cardi B is currently pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Diggs. She confirmed in September 2025:
I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work — but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.
Stefon Diggs, a Maryland Terrapins alumnus, became a full-time starter for the Vikings despite being a late-round pick, catching the iconic “Minneapolis Miracle” pass during the 2017–18 NFL playoffs. Diggs signed a three-year deal with the Patriots in 2025.

The romance between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs officially became public on June 1, 2025, though rumors first surfaced in October 2024. Cardi initially downplayed the chatter on Instagram Live:
The internet is insane, all these rumors are so f—king crazy, that’s why I don’t wanna address it cause I feel like this s—t funny.
By December 2024, Cardi B confirmed she was “dating” amid her divorce proceedings with Offset, responding to his since-deleted social media attacks (per E!Online):
So dating because I’m single means I’m just worried about d–k?? You sound like a dummy… F—k off. Sign the papers TODAY.
The pair’s first confirmed public appearance occurred on Valentine’s Day 2025 in Miami. At Coachella in April, Cardi B was spotted giving Diggs a lap dance, prompting playful comments from Offset. By April 27, 2025, she confirmed she was in a serious relationship without naming Diggs (Billboard):
You know when you got a gorgeous n–ga f–king you and loving you from head to toe? It’s like, I don’t really give a f–k what anybody says when you got a real fine n–ga that love you from head to toe.
Their public outings continued, including the Met Gala Afterparty and the New York Knicks’ 2025 NBA Playoffs. On September 17, Cardi B revealed her pregnancy during a CBS Mornings interview (via Billboard):
Yes, I am [pregnant]. I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work — but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.
While speaking to PEOPLE, Diggs later confirmed the baby’s gender as a boy at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards. Could this relationship withstand the public eye? Readers, what do you think? Will Cardi and Diggs be the ultimate power couple, or is drama inevitable? Drop your comments below.
