NFL star Justin Jefferson is actually the father of his ex-girlfriend's child and claims have been made that he tried to make Andrea Galea have an abortion.
The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver has been officially established as the father of the young girl, according to an order issued by a family court judge in New Jersey.
The order was made by Judge Aldo J Russo and was obtained by the Daily Mail. It states that an 'interim child support obligation' has been agreed to between Jefferson and the child's mother, Andrea Galea.
In the past, Galea has accused Jefferson of pressurizing her to abort the child in question after she became pregnant in 2023. Galea chose to have the child and named her Stella.
How much does Jefferson earn?
Both of the parents requested paternity testing in January 2024 and Galea was pushing for financial support and healthcare coverage from Jefferson. At this time, he had just signed a four-year, 140 million-dollar deal with the Vikings.
The 25-year-old Louisiana State product is also one of the stars of Netflix's new NFL reality series, Receiver, which follows five of the league's top pass catchers.
Jefferson had requested that Galea not go on a recent trip to Italy, but the judge ruled that he can't stop that from happening.
"For the reasons placed on the record, [Jefferson's] emergent application for an OTSC [order to show cause] to prevent [Galea] from traveling to Italy with the minor child is denied as the court finds that [Jefferson] has not met the burden of proof to establish immediate and irreparable harm as defined in Crowe v DeGioa, 90 NJ 126 (1982)," the judge stated.
"[Galea] may travel to Capri, Italy with the minor child from July 1, 2024 to July 12, 2024. By June 30, 2024, [Galea] shall provide [Jefferson] a detailed itinerary, including flight information, locations, and telephone numbers where the child and parent may be reached during the trip."
