Cardi B’s boyfriend Stefon Diggs allegedly welcomed a baby girl earlier this year.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the New England Patriots wide receiver, 31, is being accused by model Aileen Lopera, who goes by Lord Gisselle on Instagram, of fathering a baby girl, who was born this past April. Gisselle first filed documents against Diggs to determine a parental relationship of their unborn baby in December 2024, when she was pregnant.

“Petitioner is currently pregnant with [Diggs’] unborn child,” the filing read. At the time, Lopera requested legal and physical custody of their baby, but gave Diggs visitation rights.

Diggs filed a response to the suit, contesting that the baby is his. He requested genetic testing to determine whether or not he is the father.

He also wrote in the documents that if it is determined that he is the father, he requests joint legal and physical custody, as well as joint payment of “reasonable expenses” of pregnancy, birth and attorney fees and costs.

The documents also revealed that Lopera had named her baby daughter Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, giving her the professional athlete’s last name. The U.S. Sunwas first to report this story.

“My client looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles,” Lopera’s attorney, Tamar G. Arminak, tells PEOPLE.

Reps for Diggs did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The news comes a day after Cardi B shared that she’s pregnant with her fourth baby, her first with Diggs, due before her tour launches in February.

“I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi told anchor Gayle King, in a pre-taped interview for CBS Mornings.

“I’m happy,” continued Cardi. “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.”

Cardi and Diggs have been linked since October 2024. In May 2025, the pair made their first public appearance together at a Boston Celtics and New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, after months of attending the same events, but arriving separately.

Diggs is also dad to an 8-year-old daughter named Nova, who was born in October 2016. Cardi shares her three kids — daughter Kulture Kiari, 7, son Wave Set, 4, and daughter Blossom Belle, whom she welcomed in September 2024, with estranged husband Offset.

In August 2024, Cardi announced that she was expecting her third baby one day after filing for divorce from Offset for the second time. She shared the news by posting photos in a red dress that showed off her baby bump on Instagram.

“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!” she wrote in her caption. “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!”

She added, “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
