Aileen Lopera Awaits DNA Test Results in High-Profile Paternity Suit

Lead: Los Angeles model and influencer Aileen Lopera has petitioned the Superior Court to confirm New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs as the father of her daughter, with a court-ordered DNA test pending since July.

Nut Graf: Lopera, known online as Lord Gisselle, filed her paternity petition in December 2024, alleging Diggs fathered baby Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, born April 2. As national headlines swirl around Diggs’s relationship with rapper Cardi B, Lopera’s legal battle highlights the intersecting pressures of celebrity, family law, and media scrutiny.

Court-Ordered DNA Testing Underway

  • In July, a Los Angeles judge granted Diggs’s request for genetic testing and ordered both parties to submit DNA samples on July 17.
  • As of September 19, neither results nor a hearing date have been publicly disclosed, leaving Lopera’s bid for legal and physical custody unresolved.

Background of the Dispute

Lopera first approached the court while pregnant, seeking full parental rights and child support. She named Diggs in her December 2024 petition, citing a brief relationship in California. Diggs’s attorney responded by contesting paternity and requesting testing to determine biological parentage.

Implications Amid Celebrity Spotlight

With Cardi B revealing her own pregnancy on September 17 and releasing her new album, Am I The Drama?, today, Lopera’s suit raises questions about privacy and responsibility when private family matters collide with major entertainment and sports storylines.

Next Steps

  • The court will schedule a hearing once DNA results are available.
  • Lopera’s attorney, Tamar G. Arminak, has stated her client “eagerly anticipates the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter.”
  • Diggs’s future custody requests and any support obligations hinge on the outcome of the genetic test.
