Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is facing not one, but two paternity suits from two different women, both demanding child support.

According to the legal documents, both women are claiming that the football star, who is on track to break NFL records this year, is the father of their children.

The filings claim both children were born this year, the same year Hill married his long-time fiancé, Keeta Vaccaro.

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver is reportedly paying each woman $2,500 a month, however, both women claim that it is "woefully inadequate" considering his insane $30M salary with the Miami Dolphins.

Tyreek Hill Faces Two Paternity Cases With Two Different Women

Brittany Lackner, the first woman to file a case, actually first came forward in January, claiming she and the Miami Dolphins wide receiver had s-x in Florida the year prior. Her petition, which was filed in Broward County, Florida, claimed that a prenatal paternity test had shown Hill was the father of her baby -- "with greater than 99.9% probability." 

She then submitted paperwork after her child Soul Corazon Hill was born, claiming that Tyreek Hill refused to pay $2,500 a month in child support unless a second DNA test was performed.

Lackner is now claiming the monthly $2,500 is a "woefully inadequate amount" considering "the Father is a member of the Miami Dolphins earning a salary of $30,000,000 a year according to a four-year contract. In stark contrast, the Mother is "unemployed, has no income, and is on Medicaid with no means of support."

The suit states that Tyreek Hill previously filed a dueling paternity petition, proposing joint custody arrangements and stating he was "willing and able to perform parental duties for his minor child should he be determined to be the father."

The second woman, Kimberly Kaylee Baker, came forward in May claiming a paternity test would prove Tyreek Hill was the father of her newborn daughter Trae Love Hill. She states that they hooked up in August 2022.

In the filing, Baker was also receiving $2,500 each month from Hill but said that caring for their little girl was costing her closer to $10,000. Baker is also accusing Tyreek Hill of demonstrating "utter and abject unconcern" for their now-six-month-old baby girl.

Hill currently pays $13,500 each month to support the three kids he shares with ex-partner Crystal Espinal, and now may have to pay even more if the two new women win their lawsuits.

He is also paying $31,677 in current household bills and mortgage payments on his $7 million home.

This is by far the first time Tyreek Hill has found himself in legal drama as in 2015, the NFL star pleaded guilty to domestic assault after accusations that he choked Espinal while she was pregnant with their first son, Zev Carter. He was kicked off Oklahoma State's football team, the team he was playing for at the time.

Plus, in 2019, Tyreek Hill was suspended by the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL team he played for that year, over alleged child abuse allegations.

Months later, Espinal took Hill to court to prove he was the father of twins Nakeem and Nyla.

Tyreek Hill is currently on pace to become the first player in NFL history to record 2,000 receiving yards in a season.
