The bitter custody and legal war between former Los Angeles Lakers player Christian Wood and model Yasmine Lopez has taken a disturbing new turn. Wood has recently filed a report accusing Lopez of secretly planting a tracking device inside their young son's diaper bag. This explosive allegation adds another chapter to their ongoing, highly publicized feud, which has included accusations of vandalism, violence, and even a murder-for-hire plot.
A Relationship That Quickly Turned Sour
Christian Wood and Yasmine Lopez first announced their relationship in August 2022. However, the romance was short-lived, and the couple separated later the same year. Despite the breakup, their connection was far from over. In mid-2023, Lopez gave birth to their son, whom they named Kobe Sean Wood. The arrival of their child, instead of bringing them together, became the catalyst for a series of escalating legal conflicts over custody and personal conduct.
Timeline of Accusations and Restraining Orders
The legal battles began in earnest in 2024. Christian Wood filed for a restraining order, alleging that Yasmine Lopez had trespassed onto his California property and vandalized his Mercedes by scratching its hood and doors. He also referenced a prior incident from January 2023 where she allegedly spray-painted his Lamborghini. The court initially granted a temporary order, and by May 2024, Wood had secured a three-year restraining order and sole custody of their son.
Lopez quickly retaliated, appealing the custody decision by claiming she was not properly notified of the hearing. She also accused Wood of physical abuse, stating he had grabbed her by the leg and dragged her during an argument. Her claims led to the reinstatement of a temporary order and a shift to a 10-month joint custody arrangement.
Escalation to Alleged Murder-for-Hire and New Restraining Orders
The conflict reached a terrifying peak in November 2025. Wood reported that three masked men attempted to break into his home, an event that left him traumatized. Investigators noted that, just an hour before the incident, Yasmine Lopez had posted a King Von song related to murder-for-hire on her Instagram story, accompanied by gun emojis. The court responded by granting Wood another temporary restraining order and temporary sole physical custody.
In December 2025, Lopez filed her own restraining order against Wood. She cited a break-in at her own home that occurred just before the incident at Wood's residence and expressed fear for her safety. She detailed further allegations of physical abuse, including being kicked, slapped, and choked by the NBA athlete. The court granted her request as well, scheduling a follow-up hearing for January 14, 2026.
The Latest Allegation: A Tracking Device on Their Child
Just days before their scheduled court appearance, Christian Wood presented a new, serious complaint. He alleged that during a custody exchange, his sister discovered a tracking device concealed inside their son's diaper bag. Wood believes the device was planted by Lopez to monitor his movements through their child, which would be a direct violation of the existing court orders. Yasmine Lopez offered a different explanation, stating she uses trackers for her sons' safety and had no intention of tracking Wood. This latest dispute is set to be addressed in the upcoming January 14, 2026 hearing.
The saga between Christian Wood and Yasmine Lopez underscores a profoundly acrimonious split, with both parties leveling severe accusations that have resulted in a complex web of restraining orders and custody modifications. Their ongoing legal drama continues to unfold, with the well-being of their young son caught in the middle.
