Paul Pierce Hit With Paternity Lawsuit, Woman Demands DNA Test

Paul Pierce has been hit with a paternity lawsuit from a woman who says he is the father of her unborn child … and now she’s asking for a DNA test to back up her claims.

Princess Santiago, who works as an event director in L.A., filed the suit on January 12 and TMZ Sports has obtained a copy. In the docs, Santiago is asking the court to compel the 48-year-old to take genetic testing to determine whether he is the father of the child.

“I filed for paternity papers after multiple attempts to resolve this privately,” Santiago said in a statement. “Paul Pierce is the father of my son, King, and I am simply asking for a paternity test so the truth can be confirmed.”

“This isn’t about drama or attention — it’s about accountability and doing what’s right for my child.”

We reached out to Pierce’s lawyer … who had no comment.

It’s the latest drama in the life of the Boston Celtics legend. In October 2024, he was arrested on suspicion of DUI — and was charged in the matter a few weeks later, when officials said he had a BAC above the legal limit.

Pierce, who pleaded not guilty in the case, also appeared to deny that he had been drinking and driving at the time on social media … posting on Threads it stemmed from him being “old” and “tired” and sitting in traffic.
