Monty Lopez, the father of prominent TikTok personality Addison Rae, has formally consented to undergo a paternity test to establish whether he is the biological father of her younger brother, Lucas. This development follows a legal agreement affirmed by a judge in Louisiana, as reported by TMZ after reviewing court documents.
Legal Proceedings and Custody Dispute
The paternity test, which is scheduled to be conducted within the next few days, will be funded by Sheri Easterling, the 46-year-old mother of Addison Rae. Easterling filed a petition last year seeking sole custody of 12-year-old Lucas from Lopez, who is 50 years old. The couple also shares an 18-year-old son named Enzo.
In her legal filings, Easterling has requested that Lopez's visits with Lucas be supervised. She has cited concerns over Lopez's behavior, including allegations of verbal abuse during their marriage, where she claims he used derogatory terms such as 'stupid f***ing b****' and 'worthless trash'.
Allegations and Legal Issues
Easterling has further alleged that Lopez slapped Addison Rae in 2008 when she was a minor. She has also informed the court about Lopez's struggles with alcoholism and multiple DUI arrests, which she argues impact his judgment and parenting abilities.
Additionally, Easterling referenced Lopez's arrest last year on felony obscenity charges as evidence of his poor decision-making. Authorities stated that in an incident on August 31, 2024, Lopez exposed himself in a public place with intent to arouse sexual desire. Lopez has pleaded not guilty to these charges and is set to appear in court on March 19.
Relationship History and Recent Developments
Easterling and Lopez initially married in 2004 but divorced in 2017. They briefly rekindled their relationship in 2018, remarried, and then separated again in 2022. In a surprising turn, Lopez, who works in real estate, married medical professional Kaitlyn Nicole Robins in Las Vegas on October 25 last year after a whirlwind two-week romance.
Lopez told TMZ that he believes in love at first sight, describing his instant connection with Robins when they met in a Louisiana bar. He expressed immense happiness in his new marriage, stating, 'I just followed my heart and I've never been happier. I love this woman!' Lopez is also father to a daughter, Macye Neumeyer, from a previous relationship.
Addison Rae's Career Trajectory
Meanwhile, Addison Rae's career continues to flourish. The 25-year-old TikTok star recently performed her single 'Fame Is A Gun' at the Grammys earlier this month. Although she was nominated for Best New Artist, the award was claimed by Olivia Dean. Rae, a native of Lafayette, Louisiana, remains a significant figure in the entertainment industry.
Daily Mail has reached out to both Easterling and Lopez via Instagram for further comments on this ongoing legal and personal matter, but responses are still pending.
