How Aileen Lopera Launched A Paternity Case Against An NFL Star

Published

Stefon Diggs is currently preparing to take on daddy duties for the baby he's going to share with Cardi B, who's currently pregnant with their child ... but it turns out he might end up being a father of three.

Diggs was recently named in a paternity suit filed by Aileen Lopera, who's claimed he's the father of her daughter Charliee, who was born in April 2025.

We're going to take a look into the background of the football player's alleged baby mama and see what she's had to say about her connection to the NFL star.

Aileen's an Influencer and Model

Lopera's made a name for herself as an influencer, and she currently has a following of 306,000 on Instagram.

The social media personality became notable for showing off her figure wearing revealing swimsuits in her various photos.

She's also branched out into the retail industry, and she currently serves as an ambassador for Fashion Nova.

Oh, and Stefon isn't the first big name she's been connected to ... as she shared a video of herself having dinner with Rob Kardashian back in 2020, according to People.

She Has a Teenage Daughter

Charliee isn't Lopera's first child, as she welcomed a daughter named Emoniee way back in the day.

The influencer's daughter occasionally showed up in her social media posts, and the first time she showed off her child was back in 2013.

The social media personality shared an affectionate Instagram post on Emoniee's 13th birthday in September 2024, and described motherhood as "the best thing that’s ever happened to me" in the post's caption.

Lopera added she considered her status as a mother-to-be "more than I ever deserved," writing she felt as if watching her kid grow up was "so wholesome."

Aileen First Filed Documents Against Stefon in 2024

Lopera initially filed court documents back in December 2024, when she claimed he was Charliee's father. She hadn't given birth to her daughter when she filed her documents, according to People.

She also requested legal and physical custody of their child, and wanted visitation rights to be granted to the athlete.

Diggs -- who's already a father of an 8-year-old named Nova -- has since requested genetic testing for the child, and he's contested his paternity of Charliee.

He's also requested joint legal and physical custody of Lopera's daughter ... if it turns out the kid is his, of course.

But Kelly -- who addressed the report for the first time during Vegas' media availability Thursday -- insisted the talks are far more casual.

Floyd Mayweather Sues Vegas Car Dealer Over Sale ... You Lied To Me!!!

Published

Floyd Mayweather is often considered the greatest defensive fighter ever, but TBE is going on the offensive ... filing a lawsuit against a luxury car dealer in Sin City, claiming they deceived him.

48-year-old Mayweather filed suit against Vegas Auto Gallery on Thursday, claiming "deceptive trade practices" and "misrepresentation," among other allegations ... surrounding Floyd's July 2025 purchase of multiple luxury vehicles, including a 2018 Mercedes Maybach G650 Landaulet.

The 50-0 fighter, who we spoke to about the legal beef on Thursday, says he dropped over two million bucks on four vehicles, totaling $2.25 million, but ultimately was unhappy with the deal.

Mayweather says he attempted to return the cars, and had some success ... except for one.

"I think he took [three] cars back, but his one car he didn't want to take back, which was the [2018] Maybach Landolet. He didn't want to take that back. So I had my team and my business partners do their homework on the car. Come to find out the car was in lawsuits and some parts were changed on the car," Mayweather told us.

"He charged me $1.2 million. He told me he paid $1.1. I was okay with that. But then I did my homework. I did my research, come to find out he only paid, if I'm not mistaken, $728,000 for the car. So he beat me out of over half a million dollars."

Floyd says he understands making a profit, but feels he was taken advantage of, and he isn't happy.

Adding to his frustration, Mayweather’s attorney says the car was in no condition to hit the streets, alleging ... the "defendant knew, or should have known, that the Vehicle lacked the required title, odometer, certification, DOT/EPA compliance, customs clearance, and inspection certificates, all of which are material to the legality of the sale."

Team Mayweather described the dealership's "trade practices" as "fraudulent, willful, and malicious," which they claim also entitles them to punitive damages.

Floyd also wants attorney fees covered by the dealership, though an amount for all his alleged damages is never specified.

"I just want to be treated fair."

We’ve reached out to Vegas Auto Gallery, but so far, no word back.
