Who Is Princess Santiago? The Woman Who Claims Paul Pierce Is the Father of Her Child

Princess Santiago seeks a court-ordered DNA test to confirm NBA Hall of Famer Paul Pierce's paternity and secure parental rights for her unborn son.

  • On January 12 Princess Santiago filed a paternity lawsuit asking a court to compel genetic testing to determine whether Paul Pierce is the father of her unborn child King.
  • After unsuccessful private efforts, Santiago filed with the court to secure parental rights and truth for King, saying, `I filed for paternity papers after multiple attempts to resolve this privately`.
  • So far, Paul Pierce has not commented publicly, Pierce's attorney declined comment, and no hearing is scheduled yet though the court could order testing in the coming weeks.
  • The filing compounds a turbulent post-retirement period for Paul Pierce, who faces a DUI arrest and prior business litigation, raising significant reputational and legal risks if paternity is confirmed.
  • Pierce's celebrity status ensures broad media attention as the case involves Paul Pierce, 19-season NBA veteran and 2008 champion, and thrusts Princess Santiago, previously low-profile event director, into headlines.
