Tyreek Hill settles 1 paternity suit, still has others [Update]

Updated Feb. 29: Tyreek Hill settled the paternity suit brought forth by Brittney Lackner, according to the Daily Mail.

“After a 12-month legal scrimmage, the pair have agreed [to] a confidential deal and Hill has been officially declared the one-year-old’s dad, DailyMail.com can disclose,” the outlet reported.

Tyreek Hill is facing two paternity lawsuits from two different women who are claiming they had his children this year and are seeking child support from the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, who wed his fiancée Keeta Vaccaro last month.

According to one of the women, Hill offered her $2,500 a month, a number she called “ woefully inadequate,” considering his $30 million a year salary. The other woman involved in the suit says that Hill demonstrated “utter and abject unconcern for their now-six-month-old baby girl,” the Daily Mail reported.

Hill already pays $13,500 a month in child support to his ex Crystal Espinal for the three kids they have together. If these women win their suits, that number will go up. In 2015, Hill pleaded guilty to domestic assault after choking Espinal when she was pregnant with their first child. He was kicked off of his college football team for that.

In 2019, then with the Kansas City Chiefs, “Cheetah” twice faced allegations of child abuse. Hill was never charged with a crime but was suspended by his team.

Both lawsuits are still ongoing. The first woman, Brittney Lackner, has posted on social media pictures of her holding a baby-sized Hill jersey, and pictures of her son wearing it after being born. The suit has been filed in Florida, but Hill believes it should take place in Kansas City, as that is where the baby was conceived, according to Daily Mail. The second woman is asking for $10,000 in child support for her daughter.
