Stefon Diggs is usually the guy making headlines for impossible sideline catches or his high-fashion tunnel walks. But lately, the chatter has shifted away from his route running and straight into his living room. People are asking one thing: do Stefon Diggs have kids, and if so, how many? Honestly, the answer has gotten a lot more complicated over the last year.
For a long time, fans knew him as a girl dad to just one daughter. He was private about it, mostly. Then 2024 and 2025 hit like a blitz. Between a high-profile relationship with a rap superstar and some messy paternity court filings, the Diggs family tree grew a few new branches very quickly.
The First Chapter: Nova Diggs
Most long-term fans of the New England Patriots wide receiver (who we still sometimes think of in a Bills or Vikings jersey, let's be real) are familiar with Nova Diggs. She’s his eldest. Born in October 2016, Nova has been the fixture in his life through every major career trade.
She’s basically his mini-me.
Diggs once told Sports Illustrated that looking at Nova is like looking at his brother, Cowboys star Trevon Diggs. She has that same energy. You’ve probably seen her on the field after games, rocking a custom jersey and stealing the spotlight during press conferences. While Stefon has never officially confirmed who her mother is, the internet has long speculated it’s his former partner, Tyler-Marie. Regardless of the mystery there, Nova is clearly the "OG" of the Diggs kids.
The 2025 Explosion: Charliee and the Paternity Suit
Things got really loud in late 2024. An Instagram model and influencer named Aileen Lopera (you might know her as Lord Gisselle) filed a paternity suit. She claimed Diggs was the father of her then-unborn child.

Diggs didn't just say "okay." He actually challenged it at first, asking for a genetic test. That played out in the headlines for months.
In April 2025, Aileen gave birth to a baby girl named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera. By November 2025, the results were in: Diggs is officially the father. Her lawyer told People magazine they were hopeful Stefon would "meaningfully contribute" to her life. It was a chaotic moment for the star, especially because he was already in the middle of another huge life change.
The Cardi B Era: A New Son
If you thought the paternity suit was the only news, you missed the biggest crossover event of 2025. Stefon Diggs and Cardi B became the couple nobody saw coming.
In September 2025, Cardi sat down with Gayle King on CBS Mornings and dropped the bomb: she was pregnant with her fourth child, and it was her first with Stefon. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper was glowing, saying she felt "powerful" creating life while still working on her album.
On November 13, 2025, they welcomed a baby boy.

While they haven't shared his name with the public yet, Stefon has been vocal about his excitement. At the CFDA Fashion Awards, he joked about being ready to make his son do "push-ups and sit-ups." It’s a big shift for a guy who was strictly a girl dad for nearly a decade.
Breaking Down the Numbers
Wait—so how many kids does he actually have? This is where it gets tricky because reports vary wildly depending on which tabloid you read.
Some outlets, like The Economic Times, have reported he has three confirmed children:
- Nova (born 2016)
- Charliee Harper (born April 2025)
- His son with Cardi B (born November 2025)
However, other reports from late 2025 and early 2026 suggest the number might be higher. There have been claims involving other women, including names like Kennedy Moore, K’yanna Barber, and Cayy Benji. Some sources now claim he is a father of six.
Is it true?

Diggs himself hasn't sat down to do a "meet the family" photoshoot with six kids. Most of the recent information comes from court filings or social media sleuths tracking paternity suits. What we do know for certain is that his household—and his child support obligations—looked a lot different at the start of the 2025 NFL season than they do now in 2026.
Life in the Blended Spotlight
Managing a blended family is tough for anyone. Doing it when your partner is Cardi B and your exes are filing suits in Los Angeles is a whole different level of stress.
Cardi has been surprisingly supportive through the drama. When the news about Charliee broke, she didn't bash Stefon. Instead, she posted about how they are "very supportive" of each other. She’s even defended him against accusations from his former private chef, proving she’s in his corner for the long haul.
What This Means for Stefon's Future
Look, Stefon is 32 now. He’s in the "veteran" stage of his career, currently putting up huge numbers for the Patriots. But his personal life is clearly in a transition phase. He’s navigating:
- Co-parenting with at least three different women.
- Legal battles over custody and support.
- Blending his life with Cardi B’s three children from her previous marriage to Offset (Kulture, Wave, and Blossom).
It’s a lot for one person to handle while trying to lead a receiving corps.
If you’re trying to keep up with the Diggs family, your best bet is to watch his Instagram stories. That’s usually where he drops the most "real" glimpses of his life, like his recent Christmas posts showing him dancing in pajamas with the kids. He might be a superstar on Sunday, but on Monday morning, he's just a guy dealing with a very crowded, very famous family.
Next steps for fans: If you want to stay updated on the legal side of things, keep an eye on the Massachusetts court records where his recent hearings have been postponed. For the "cute" side, follow Stephanie Diggs (Stefon’s mom) on Instagram; she’s the one who usually shares the best photos of Nova and the new grandbabies.
