Stefon Diggs is drawing attention off the field as a fellow player who continues to improve.
The New England Patriots star has two children and is expecting a son with girlfriend Cardi B in early 2026.
Here’s a look at Diggs’ children and the “Bodak Yellow” rapper’s new baby.
Nova
A year after Diggs was drafted into the NFL, Diggs welcomed his first child, daughter Nova, with ex Tyler Murray in October 2016.
Not much is known about Nova, but her father and paternal grandmother Stephanie have been sharing updates on the girl’s life on social media.
In 2022, Stefani shared a photo of herself posing with Nova after being promoted to yellow belt in karate.
That same year, while Diggs was playing for the Buffalo Bills, an adorable video of him running around the field with Nova went viral.
In October 2024, Diggs’ mother shared a video of her eldest son enjoying time with Nova at a restaurant in honor of his 8th birthday.
In the clip, Nova is sitting next to her father in a booth writing on a receipt.
Stephanie captioned the video: “Happy birthday! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I can’t believe you’re 8 years old. Sending you hugs and kisses 😘.”
charlie
In September 2025, Page Six reported that a woman named Eileen Lopera filed a paternity suit against Diggs, claiming he was the father of her daughter Charlie Harper Diggs Lopera, who was born in April of the same year.
The Fashion Nova ambassador requested that she be given legal and physical custody of the child and that Diggs be given only visitation rights.
She also demanded that the athlete pay all pregnancy and childbirth costs and legal fees.
In July 2025, Diggs filed a response to Lopera’s paternity lawsuit, stating in the document that he was “not sure” if he was Charlie’s father.
The wide receiver requested genetic testing to determine if he was the father.
If parentage was established, Diggs requested joint legal and physical custody of Charlie, as well as splitting pregnancy and childbirth expenses and attorney fees.
In November 2025, Page Six reported that Diggs was confirmed to be Charlie’s father.
“The parentage has been confirmed. Mr. Diggs is the father of the child,” Ropera’s attorney, Tamar Alminak, said at the time.
“Now that paternity of the child has been established and Mr. Diggs recognizes his daughter, my client hopes that he can strive to be a great parent to his child,” the attorney added.
Lopera’s lawyer told us exclusively that the case has not yet been dismissed and that “if the parties are unable to resolve (the issue) on their own, we will proceed.”
Baby No.3
In September 2025, Cardi (real name Belcalis Almanzar) announced that she was pregnant with her fourth child, her first child with Diggs.
“I’m excited, I’m happy, I feel like I’m in a good place,” the “Up” rapper told Gayle King on “CBS Mornings” at the time, noting that she is due to give birth before her tour starts in February 2026.
“By the way, speaking of this, you guys should buy my album so you can buy Pampers and diapers and stuff,” Cardi added.
“I thought it was okay to tell me when it was convenient for me. It’s not like I’m hiding it.”
After news of Cardi’s pregnancy surfaced, Diggs’ mother Stefani exclusively told Page Six, “I’m excited to have a new addition. Steph and Cardi are hard-working, great parents. I’m overjoyed for them and this new chapter.”
In November 2025, the NFL star announced that he and Cardi were expecting a baby boy.
“It’s a boy. That’s enough for me,” he told People at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards. “I can’t wait to get him to do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”
Cardi has three children with ex-husband Offset: daughter Kulture, son Wave, and daughter Blossom.
