The family life of NFL star wide receiver Stefon Diggs, long a subject of quiet speculation, has exploded into the public sphere, creating a complex and high-profile narrative that extends far beyond the football field. For years, Diggs has been the proud father of his daughter, Nova Diggs, born in 2016, a child he often shares glimpses of on social media and who has been a visible part of his career, even stealing the show during his contract negotiations.
However, recent developments have revealed a more intricate personal life, culminating in the news that the New England Patriots player is welcoming two new additions into his family structure, involving two different high-profile women. The most publicized of these developments involves Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, with whom Diggs is expecting a baby boy, due early in 2026. Adding a dramatic layer to the story, just weeks after the public celebration with Cardi B, it was confirmed that Diggs is the biological father of a baby girl born to model Aileen Lopera.
Balancing a family that includes a daughter entering grade school, a newborn, and a baby on the way, all spread across different parental arrangements, has made Diggs' off-field life extremely popular.

How many kids does Stefon Diggs have?
Diggs is the confirmed father of two children and is currently expecting a third child.
Diggs' confirmed family structure includes his eldest daughter, Nova Diggs, who was born in 2016 from a previous relationship. The second confirmed child is a daughter named Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, born in April 2025 to model Aileen Lopera, with paternity being finalized via testing in early November 2025. Adding to this complex family dynamic, Diggs and Cardi B are expecting a baby boy, their first child together, which is due in early 2026.
Nova Diggs (Eldest daughter)
Nova is Diggs' eldest child, born in October 2016 from a previous relationship. She has been the most visible of his children throughout his NFL career, often featured in his personal social media posts and sometimes appearing at games or during family events.
Diggs shares a close and public bond with Nova, and she has frequently been mentioned in articles about his life off the field, representing the longest-standing part of his confirmed family structure. Nova's presence has often provided a heartwarming glimpse into the personal side of the intense NFL star.
Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera (Youngest Daughter)
Charliee's place in the family was only recently cemented, as paternity was confirmed via legal proceedings in early November 2025, several months after her birth. This confirmation arrived amid a surge of public attention regarding Diggs' personal life.
Despite the private nature of the legal process, the confirmation of Charliee's paternity established her as Diggs' second child and youngest daughter, adding a new co-parenting dynamic to the receiver's life.
