Stefon Diggs, the NFL star and boyfriend of rapper Cardi B, has learned that he is the father of an Instagram model’s baby girl after taking a paternity test.
The 31-year-old Diggs, who is expecting a child with Cardi B, had initially disputed fathering the child with Aileen Lopera, known as Lord Gisselle on social media.
The baby was born in April, with Lopera naimed her Charliee and giving her the NFL star’s last name.
She initially filed a petition to determine if Diggs was her infant daughter’s father last December.
‘Now that the child’s paternity has been established and Mr. Diggs has acknowledged his daughter, my client hopes they can work together for the child’s best interests,’ Lopera’s lawyer, Tamar Arminak, told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.
Diggs said in September that if he is proven to be the father of Charliee, he wants joint legal and physical custody of her.

In what could be interpreted as a comment on the news of the test results, Lopera shared a quote to her Instagram story on Wednesday, saying: ‘You know what God? I thank you for everything.’
Diggs, who plays for the New England Patriots, has an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
He is in the first year of a three-year deal with the organization worth $69million.
Cardi B, 32, announced she was pregnant with Diggs’ child during an interview with ‘CBS Mornings’ in September, with her due date coming before her next tour starts in February.
And in an interview with People earlier this week, Diggs revealed that the couple are expecting a baby boy.
‘It’s a boy. That’s enough for me,’ he said. ‘I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around. It’s supposed to happen real soon, so wish us both luck.’
She filed for divorced from the rapper Offset last summer. She hard-launched her relationship with Diggs in May at the Met Gala in New York City, and sat courtside at a Knicks game with him a few days later.

Diggs scored a touchdown in the game and overall, recorded three receptions for 38 yards.
