BREAKING NEWS: A DNA test ended Stefon Diggs’ lawsuit — but not the questions around it .

The lawsuit didn’t end with a verdict.It ended with a withdrawal.

That distinction matters — and it’s why Stefon Diggs’ name is once again circulating far beyond the football world.

This week, Diggs’ former girlfriend, model Aileen Lopera, filed to dismiss her paternity and child support case against the New England Patriots wide receiver.

The move wasn’t framed as reconciliation or a change of heart. It came after a DNA test confirmed Diggs as the biological father of her daughter.

The legal battle simply… disappeared.

According to Us Weekly, Lopera’s attorney confirmed the case had been settled following the test results, offering no further details about whether a private agreement was reached.

No statements from Diggs. No public acknowledgment. Just a closed case and a lingering sense that something substantial happened behind the scenes.

The timeline is what’s unsettling.

Back in September, Diggs was already in the spotlight when Cardi B announced she was expecting his child. Less than 24 hours later, Lopera’s filing surfaced, naming Diggs as the father of her then-unborn baby and requesting that he cover pregnancy-related expenses and legal fees.

At the time, the situation remained unresolved — publicly, at least.

Weeks later, Diggs was photographed leaving a hospital carrying a car seat, accompanied by a woman resembling Lopera. No confirmation followed. No denial either. The moment passed without explanation.

Now, in January 2026, clarity arrived — quietly.

The DNA test confirmed paternity. The lawsuit was dropped. And the details stopped there.

Lopera’s daughter, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, has now been legally acknowledged as Diggs’ child. What remains unclear is what agreements, if any, were reached outside the courtroom.

The absence of information has only fueled speculation — not because of what’s known, but because of what isn’t.

Diggs, meanwhile, remains focused on football.

Just days earlier, cameras caught him emotional on the field following a Patriots win over the Houston Texans.

Now, as New England prepares for the AFC Championship, the legal chapter closes without disrupting his on-field momentum.

That contrast is hard to ignore.

The situation doesn’t allege wrongdoing beyond what was legally addressed. There’s no ruling, no judgment, no public dispute left standing.

But the way it concluded — swiftly, privately, and without commentary — has left fans parsing the silence.

Why drop the case immediately after confirmation?

Why no public resolution?

Why now?

For some, the answers are obvious. For others, the lack of transparency is the story itself.

Diggs has never been shy about life beyond football. He’s also never been particularly public when it comes to personal matters once they turn complicated. This episode fits that pattern — decisive, contained, and quickly moved out of view.

But public attention doesn’t always move on so easily.

With another child confirmed, another relationship added to the narrative, and another legal moment closed without explanation, Diggs’ off-field story continues to develop in parallel with his on-field success.

As the Patriots chase a Super Bowl and Diggs chases his first appearance on the league’s biggest stage, one truth remains unavoidable:

The court case may be over — but the conversation isn’t.

And when silence replaces answers, people tend to fill in the gaps themselves.
