According to the filing, the truth surfaced only recently when the couple’s eldest son required a blood transfusion for surgery.

Routine testing revealed neither parent’s blood type matched the child’s, triggering immediate suspicion and further investigation.
Subsequent DNA testing confirmed Cruz is not the biological father.
The revelation, according to the suit, has left the former NFL veteran devastated.
The petition outlines claims of emotional distress, fraud, and marital betrayal.
"She said all I ever did was come home from the field too tired and fall asleep…
...but while I was out there in big blue, breaking my body to build our life, she was building a life with someone else,"
Cruz said in a statement to reporters.
Cruz, now 37, spent the majority of his NFL career with the New York Giants from 2010 to 2016.
He became a fan favorite with his explosive plays and signature salsa dance celebrations.
His breakout 2011 season saw him record 1,536 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns.
He also played a key role in the Giants’ Super Bowl XLVI victory.
The former undrafted free agent out of UMass later signed a lucrative contract extension with the Giants.
He became a starting fixture alongside Eli Manning.
Cruz also contributed to multiple playoff runs, including the dramatic 2011 championship season.
Friends and former teammates expressed shock at the situation.
Some noted Cruz had often spoken publicly about the importance of family during his playing career.
Legal experts say the case could set precedent in New Jersey for damages tied to paternity deception.
As the legal battle begins, Cruz says his focus is on protecting the well being of the child while seeking accountability for what he calls the deepest betrayal of his life.
The first court hearing is expected later this fall.
