American football star Stefon Diggs finds himself entangled in a complex web of legal troubles, with a new paternity lawsuit adding to his existing case involving allegations of physical violence. The situation unfolds as his public relationship with rapper Cardi B appears increasingly distant.
New Paternity Lawsuit and Legal Demands
A woman named Aileen Lopera, who is also known by her social media handle Lord Gisselle, has filed a lawsuit against Stefon Diggs. She is seeking parental support and a DNA test for their unborn child, claiming to possess "irrefutable evidence" of Diggs' paternity. Lopera is a social media influencer with nearly 400,000 followers on Instagram.
The legal history between the two reveals a protracted battle. Lopera initially sued Diggs in December 2024 for pregnancy-related expenses and demanded sole custody. Diggs responded in July 2025, requesting a paternity test while offering to share custody and split pregnancy costs. Subsequently, a paternity test conducted in November 2025 confirmed that Diggs is the father of a baby girl born to Aileen Lopera in April 2025.
Ongoing Assault Allegations from Former Chef
Complicating matters further, the New England Patriots wide receiver is simultaneously defending himself against serious accusations from his former private chef. She has alleged that Diggs was physically violent towards her, specifically citing an incident of strangulation on December 2.
Diggs has vehemently denied these claims. His lawyer, David Meier, issued a strong statement, saying, "Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated—because they did not occur." The statement suggested the allegations stemmed from an unresolved financial dispute between employer and employee.
Cardi B's Distance and Public Silence
Amid this escalating legal drama, notable is the public silence from Cardi B, who was in a confirmed relationship with Diggs during the time the child was conceived and born. Reports indicate a growing distance between the couple as these lawsuits proceed. Neither Diggs nor Cardi B has publicly addressed the recent paternity lawsuit filed by Aileen Lopera.
The convergence of these cases paints a challenging picture for the athlete's off-field life, with legal battles unfolding on two fronts while his high-profile relationship hangs in the balance.
