Cardi B disclosed this week that she is pregnant with Stefon Diggs’ child, a development that arrives as the NFL wide receiver faces a separate paternity matter involving a former partner. The intersection of a high-profile romance and a contested paternity case has drawn renewed attention to the star couple’s personal lives amid ongoing legal filings.
TMZ obtained footage from May 11 showing Diggs outside a New York City hospital, folding a car seat and placing a baby carrier into an SUV as an unknown woman sits inside the vehicle. The image captured Diggs handling the baby equipment outside the facility, with the video noting the presence of a woman in the car.
Page Six later confirmed that Aileen Lopera — who filed in December 2024 to determine parental relationship and named Diggs as the father of her unborn child — was not the woman seen in the video. Lopera’s attorney said, “My client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs finally meets, acknowledges and provides for the infant daughter they share.” Lopera, known as Lord Gisselle on Instagram, filed a petition seeking legal and physical custody and asking that Diggs cover pregnancy and birth expenses, as well as her legal fees. The child at issue, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, was born on April 2, and Lopera has sought both parents’ involvement in raising the child.
In July, Diggs filed a response indicating he was “not certain” that Charliee was his child and requested a genetic test to determine paternity. If the test confirms fatherhood, Diggs would seek joint legal and joint physical custody and would aim to evenly divide pregnancy, birth, and attorney fees. The case underscores a complicated and potentially overlapping web of relationships surrounding the quarterback-turned-receiver, with the NFL star navigating both a separate paternity matter and public life events.
Interestingly, Diggs confirmed his relationship with Cardi B, 32, just one day after the hospital sighting became public. This week, Cardi announced that she is pregnant and expecting a child with Diggs. The rapper — whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar — already shares three children with estranged husband Offset. Diggs also has an eight-year-old daughter from a prior relationship. The coupling has drawn significant attention given the families involved and the timing of the public disclosures.
Reps for Diggs and Lopera did not respond to requests for comment. The public timeline shows a rapid sequence: a hospital sighting in May, a paternity petition filed in December 2024, a formal response in July, and Cardi B’s pregnancy announcement in the weeks that followed, suggesting both individuals’ personal lives are evolving amid ongoing legal and familial discussions. The evolving story has drawn interest from fans and entertainment outlets alike as more details potentially emerge about custodial arrangements, financial obligations, and timelines tied to paternity testing.
