Cardi B’s partner, NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, has been legally identified as the father of model Aileen Lopera’s daughter, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, after a court-ordered paternity confirmation. The development ends the core question about the child’s parentage while legal proceedings could still continue if the parties fail to reach an agreement.
Court ruling confirms paternity and next legal steps
An attorney for Aileen Lopera told Page Six the paternity test is complete and the results confirm Stefon Diggs is the father of the child. Lopera’s lawyer said the mother hopes both parents will work together to raise the baby.

Despite the confirmation, the case is not closed. Lopera’s attorney warned the matter “will move forward” if the parents cannot settle custody and other issues privately.
What each side requested in court
- Lopera initially asked the court for sole legal and physical custody.
- She sought to limit Diggs to visitation only.
- She also requested Diggs cover pregnancy and birth expenses and pay her legal fees.
- When Diggs challenged paternity, he asked for a DNA test and, if confirmed, sought joint legal and physical custody and a split of costs.
Timeline: From the lawsuit to the DNA result
- December 2024 — Lopera filed a paternity suit against Stefon Diggs.
- April 2025 — Lopera gave birth to a daughter, named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera.
- July 2025 — Diggs requested genetic testing, saying he was “not certain” of paternity.
- Current — Results confirm Diggs as the father; legal negotiations may continue.
Reactions and public statements
Lopera’s attorney spoke to media outlets to confirm the test results and to express a desire for cooperative co-parenting. An attorney for Diggs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The report was first published by the US Sun, and Page Six later obtained confirmation from Lopera’s legal team. No public statement from Diggs’ camp has been released at this time.
How this affects Diggs and Cardi B’s family news
Stefon Diggs is currently linked publicly to rapper Cardi B. Cardi announced in September that she is pregnant with a child fathered by Diggs.
Cardi B already has three children with her estranged husband, Offset. Diggs is also a father to a nine-year-old daughter, Nova.
Custody options and potential outcomes
With paternity established, the dispute will shift to custody, visitation, and financial responsibility unless both sides reach a private settlement.
- Possible outcomes include negotiated joint custody or a court-ordered parenting plan.
- Courts may consider splitting pregnancy and birth expenses and legal fees if requested and justified.
- Visitation schedules or supervised visitation could be part of a final agreement.
What to watch next in the case
Key developments to follow include whether Lopera and Diggs negotiate a settlement and whether either side files new motions.
If no agreement is reached, the court will address custody, support, and any remaining fee disputes. Media outlets will likely report any new filings or statements.
