According to TMZ, Aileen Lopera, an influencer from the Los Angeles area, has sued the four-time Pro Bowler for the paternity of her daughter. The petition was introduced in Los Angeles County in December 2024, before the child was born in April 2025.
Lopera and Diggs were mandated by a judge to submit to genetic testing on July 17 at the request of the New England Patriots player. It’s unknown if either of them has gone ahead with the test or not. While the attorney for the NFL star hasn’t commented on the matter, Lopera’s lawyer gave the following statement to The Sun this week:
“My client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles.”
According to court documents, Stefon Diggs has said he is not certain he fathered the child and has requested genetic testing. Aileen Lopera named the child Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, giving her Diggs’s last name.
