Influencer Aileen Lopera Sues Stefon Diggs, Claims He’s Father of Unborn Child
New year, new drama in the NFL’s off-season playbook.
Miami-based influencer and model Aileen Lopera, 25, has filed a paternity lawsuit in Harris County Family Court, alleging that Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs, 32, is the father of her unborn child, due in spring 2026.

Court documents obtained by TMZ and The Blast detail Lopera‘s claims: the pair enjoyed an on-again, off-again romantic relationship spanning several months in 2025, with intimate encounters in Miami, Houston, and during Diggs‘ offseason travels.
Lopera asserts the child was conceived during one such rendezvous and is seeking formal paternity establishment, child support, and shared custody arrangements. The filing requests genetic testing post-birth and asks the court to order Diggs to cover prenatal medical expenses, future support, and legal fees.
No dollar figure has been specified yet, but sources close to the case suggest monthly support could run into five figures, given Diggs‘ $96 million, four-year contract extension with the Texans, signed in 2024.
Lopera, known for her 500K+ Instagram following and brand partnerships in fitness and fashion, has stayed relatively quiet on social media since announcing her pregnancy in November with ethereal maternity shoots captioned “Blessed beyond measure.”
No direct mention of Diggs—until now. Diggs, the explosive receiver traded to Houston in 2024 after stints with Minnesota and Buffalo, has not publicly responded. His representatives issued a brief statement: “Mr. Diggs is aware of the filing and will address the matter privately through legal channels. He requests privacy for all parties involved.”
This isn’t Diggs‘ first brush with paternity headlines. He already fathers a daughter, Nova Diggs, born in 2016 from a previous relationship, and has been open about co-parenting on social media.
The internet, however, wastes no time. #StefonDiggsBaby trends with memes mixing Diggs‘ signature one-handed catches with baby bottles. Lopera‘s comment sections flood with speculation—”That’s why he had that quiet offseason“—while Diggs‘ loyal Bills-turned-Texans fans defend: “Let the courts handle it.”
Legal experts note Texas paternity cases often move swiftly when high-profile finances are involved, with mandatory DNA testing and support guidelines tied to income.
If confirmed, Diggs could face obligations under Texas child support caps—currently around $2,760 per month, but adjustable for high earners.
From end-zone celebrations to courtroom calendars—Diggs‘ 2026 just got a whole new route to run. One filing. One superstar. One life is about to change the game forever.
