Christian Wood, the former NBA star, has made serious allegations against his ex-girlfriend Yasmine Lopez, claiming that she secretly placed a tracking device in their child’s diaper bag.
According to court documents filed by Wood on January 6, the device was discovered by his sister after a recent custody exchange.
Wood has accused Lopez of using the device to monitor his movements and find his home address, which he believes was done without his consent.
The Discovery of the Tracking Device
Wood’s claims center around the discovery of the hidden tracker inside his two-year-old son Kobe’s diaper bag.
He alleges that the device was carefully concealed and intended to go unnoticed.
In the court documents, Wood stated, “The tracking device was carefully hidden inside Kobe’s diaper bag with the intent to not be found,” further adding that he had not authorized the placement of the device.
He expressed his belief that the tracker was specifically placed to gather confidential information about his location, including his residence.
The court had previously ordered Lopez not to gather such information, adding a legal dimension to the case.
Despite Wood’s accusations, Lopez has denied that she was using the tracker for any such purposes.
Lopez Responds: A Safety Measure for Her Children
In response to Wood’s allegations, Lopez’s representatives issued a statement through the Daily Mail, asserting that Yasmine uses location trackers for both of her children as part of a general safety practice.
The statement clarified that the devices are placed in the children’s school or diaper bags, traveling with them whether they are with family members or not.
Lopez’s team emphasized that this was a long-standing practice aimed at ensuring her children’s safety, rather than being directed specifically at Wood.
According to the statement, “It is simply part of Yasmine’s approach to ensuring her children’s safety and peace of mind at all times.”
Background: A Relationship Turned Sour
Christian Wood and Yasmine Lopez started dating in August 2022 and split in December of the same year.
They share a young son, Kobe, who has become the center of an increasingly contentious legal battle.
In November 2025, Wood filed for a restraining order against Lopez, shortly after a frightening break-in attempt at his Los Angeles home.
This incident has added further tension to the already strained relationship between the two.
The Break-In and Wood’s Fears for His Safety
Wood’s filing in November painted a chilling picture of the break-in, which occurred at his Sherman Oaks home around 1 p.m.
On the day of the incident, Wood was at home when three individuals attempted to break in through the back door.
Fearing for his life, he fired three rounds into the ground, hoping to scare off the intruders.
The suspects fled without taking anything, and no injuries were reported.
In his court documents, Wood speculated that Lopez may have had prior knowledge of the break-in, based on her suspicious behavior leading up to the incident.
He claimed that Lopez had been “extremely vague” and refused to arrange any visitation for their son.
Additionally, he alleges that she misled him when he arrived to pick up Kobe, claiming that she had already taken their child.
This, combined with the break-in the following day, led Wood to believe that Lopez’s actions were somehow connected to the attempted intrusion.
Legal Action and Tensions Escalate
The break-in has clearly weighed heavily on Wood, who expressed feeling unsafe in his own home.
As a result, the court granted him a temporary restraining order against Lopez, which mandates that she stay at least 100 yards away from both Wood and their son, Kobe.
In a separate filing, Lopez denied any involvement in the break-in and stated that she learned about the incident on the day it happened.
She also filed a petition for her own restraining order against Wood on December 12.
The legal battle between the two now continues, with a hearing set for January 14 to hear both sides.
The Road Ahead: A Courtroom Showdown
As the legal drama unfolds, both Christian Wood and Yasmine Lopez are gearing up for a courtroom showdown.
With accusations of tracking devices, break-ins, and safety concerns, it’s clear that their custody battle over young Kobe is far from over.
The January 14 hearing will likely bring more revelations, as both parties present their cases in front of the court.
