The NFL athlete first became a parent just one year after being drafted, when he welcomed his daughter Nova in October 2016.
The wide receiver expanded his family several years later when Cardi Bwelcomed their first child together, a baby boy, in November 2025. That same month, PEOPLE confirmed that paternity test results show Diggs was the father of model Aileen Lopera's daughter, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, who was born in April 2025.
In December 2025, Diggs was arrested and charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery following an alleged disagreement with his chef about money. Diggs "categorically denies the allegations," his attorney David Meier told PEOPLE at the time. The football player is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 13, 2026.
Here's everything to know about Stefon Diggs' kids.

On Oct. 14, 2016, Diggs welcomed his first child, daughter Nova. Over the years, he has shared glimpses into his relationship with her and spoken about Nova's personality.
The professional football player told Sports Illustrated in 2022 that Nova reminds him of his younger brother, Trevon De'Sean Diggs, who is also an NFL athlete.
"When I look at her, I’m like, ‘Whoa, you act just like Tre,’ ” he told the publication.
While Diggs has brought Nova to several of his football games over the years, his older daughter might be most known for stealing the show at his 2022 Buffalo Bills contract extension meeting (he played with the team from 2020 to 2023). At the time, Diggs put Nova on his lap while she told the Bills' general manager, "Show me the money!" referring to the famous line from the 1996 film Jerry Maguire.
Later that same year, the Bills posted a sweet TikTok video of Diggs hoisting Nova from the stands and taking her to run on the field and sprint toward the locker room. At one point, her carried her and told her to yell, "Go Bills!"
Nova has followed in her father and uncle's footsteps by getting involved in her own physical activities, including martial arts. Her grandmother, Stephanie Diggs, frequently posts pictures with Nova and shared about her receiving a yellow belt in karate.
Nova and Stephanie have a close relationship, as the grandmother has also posted photos from major milestones in Nova's life — including starting kindergarten, celebrating her birthday and supporting her dad at football games.

Diggs became a father of two when his daughter, Charliee Harper, was born in April 2025. When her mother, Aileen, was pregnant, she filed documents claiming Diggs was the father of the child in December 2024.
At the time of the initial filing, Lopera requested legal and physical custody of their baby, while allowing Diggs visitation rights. The NFL star later responded to the suit and contested that the baby was his and requested genetic testing. However, he also clarified that if the testing showed he was the father, he would request joint legal and physical custody.
In November 2025, Lopera's lawyer, Tamar G. Arminak, confirmed to PEOPLE that Diggs is the father of Charliee.
"We can confirm that Mr. Diggs is the father," Arminak told PEOPLE in a statement. "And, we are hopeful he that he will meaningfully contribute to the child’s life and coparent with our client who has had to do everything on her own thus far."https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf

That same month, Diggs welcomed his third child, his first with Cardi. On Nov. 13, 2025, the rapper's rep confirmed to PEOPLE that she gave birth to a baby boy.
"Cardi is healthy and happy," the rep said.
The Grammy-winning artist also shared the exciting news on Instagram by posting a video of her lip-synching "Hello" from her album, Am I the Drama?.
"My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons," Cardi wrote on Nov. 13. "I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve."
Cardi is already the mother of three children — Kulture, Wave and Blossom — who she shares with her estranged husband, rapper Offset. The former couple married in 2017, but she filed for divorce in July 2024.

Before Diggs and Cardi welcomed their first child together, Diggs revealed to PEOPLE that they were expecting a boy and that he was already excited for what's to come.
"It’s a boy. That’s enough for me," he shared at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards. "I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around."
Meanwhile, Cardi, who announced her pregnancy in a September 2025 interview with CBS Mornings, told the outlet that she was "excited" for their future.
"I'm happy," she said at the time. "I feel like I'm in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I'm doing all this work — but I'm doing all this work while I'm creating a baby."https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf
