Stefon Diggs<\/a>\u2019 ex Aileen Lopera<\/a> dropped her paternity and child support lawsuit against the NFL star, days after her lawyer claimed a DNA test proved Diggs was the father, Us Weekly can exclusively report.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, January 20, Lopera filed court docs requesting the dismissal of her entire case against Diggs, 32. Lopera\u2019s attorney, Tamar G. Arminak, told Us, \u201cThe matter has been resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopera filed her suit in December 2024. She explained she gave birth to a daughter named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera on April 2, 2024, and that Diggs was the father. The suit was ongoing at the time that Diggs\u2019 current girlfriend, rapper Cardi B, announced she was pregnant and expecting her fourth child with the wide receiver for the New England Patriots in September 2025.<\/p>\n

In her petition, she claimed she had sexual intercourse with Diggs in California, which led to her pregnancy. She asked the court to order that Diggs was the legal father to the baby girl.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNFL star Stefon Diggs is about to be a father of three. Diggs first became a parent in 2016, welcoming daughter Nova with a former partner, one year after being drafted in the NFL. \u201cWhen I look at her, I\u2019m like, \u2018Whoa, you act just like Tre,\u2019\u201d Diggs told Sports Illustrated, referring to his younger [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

Lopera also asked for sole legal and physical custody of her daughter, with Diggs having visitation. Her filing requested that the NFL star be on the hook for child support, pregnancy expenses and legal fees associated with bringing the petition.<\/p>\n

At the time the suit was filed, Lopera\u2019s attorney spoke to Us about the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles,\u201d Arminak told Us.<\/p>\n

Diggs responded to the case on July 17. He said he was not certain that he was the father and asked for a DNA test to be conducted.<\/p>\n

His paperwork requested that \u201cgenetic testing\u201d be done to make sure he was the dad. If he was, Diggs asked for joint legal and physical custody of the baby girl.<\/p>\n

On November 6, 2025, Lopera\u2019s lawyer released a statement claiming a DNA test confirmed Diggs was the father.<\/p>\n
