The results of a paternity test reportedly prove that Cardi B’s boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs, is the father of model Aileen Lopera’s baby girl.
“The paternity has been confirmed. Mr. Diggs is the father of the child,” Lopera’s lawyer, Tamar Arminak, told Page Six on Wednesday, November 5. “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.”
Arminak noted that the case has not been dismissed and “will move forward if the parties are not able to resolve [their issue] themselves.”
Lopera, known as Lord Giselle on Instagram, filed a paternity suit against Diggs, 31, in Los Angeles in December 2024. She requested legal and physical custody of her baby, who was born in April. Lopera named her Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera.

In her filing, Lopera also asked the court to order Diggs to pay child support and cover the expenses related to her pregnancy and legal fees.
In July, the New England Patriots wide receiver responded to the suit. He said he wasn’t certain that he was the father and requested genetic testing. He also asked for joint legal and physical custody of the child if the DNA test proved paternity.
“My client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles,” Arminak told Us Weekly in September.
That month, Cardi, 33, revealed in an interview with Gayle King, “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. I’m excited.”

She added: “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.”
Earlier this week, Diggs revealed during his appearance at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City that he and Cardi are expecting a boy and he’s due “soon.”
Cardi and her ex, Offset, share three children: Kulture Kiari Cephus, 7, Wave Set Cephus, 4, and Blossom Belle, 1.
Cardi told King, 70, that Diggs makes her feel “safe and very confident and very strong.” He recently gave her a pep talk while she was upset amid the release of her latest album, Am I the Drama?

“I was like crying and crying and crying, just because I was getting really nervous with the whole album rollout,” the rapper explained at the time. “People were coming at me very hard; you know, sometimes people love you, people hate you. And people was just saying very mean things about me.”
Cardi continued, “I was like, ‘See, this is why I don’t put music out?’ This is my art and something I put a lot of time to and it’s just like sometimes, when people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crushes you. And he was just like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.’ … I feel like feeling safe, feeling confident, it makes you feel like you can take over the world.”
She recently reacted to Lopera’s suit and seemed unbothered, remarking via an Instagram Live, “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, bitch.”
