Retired NBA star Paul Pierce has been named in a paternity lawsuit filed on Jan. 27, 2026. The unnamed plaintiff is asking a court to compel Pierce to undergo DNA testing to determine whether he is the father of her child.
The civil action, filed in an unspecified jurisdiction, seeks legal confirmation of paternity along with any child-support orders that may follow if genetic testing establishes Pierce as the biological parent. No additional details about the child, the plaintiff, or the timeline of their alleged relationship were disclosed in the initial filing.
Pierce, a 10-time NBA All-Star and 2008 Finals MVP, has not publicly responded to the allegations. Court proceedings are expected to begin once Pierce is formally served with the complaint and the judge reviews the request for DNA testing.
