Prior to his home going up in flames, Hill was facing other issues in his personal life. The Blast reported in December 2023 that Hill was hit with two paternity lawsuits from two different women demanding child support from the athlete.
The first woman, Brittany Lackner, claimed in a previous lawsuit filed in January last year that a prenatal paternity test showed that Hill was the father of her child “with greater than 99.9% probability.”

Lackner later claimed that the $2,500 she received from Hill was “inadequate” considering “the Father is a member of the Miami Dolphins earning a salary of $30,000,000 a year according to a four-year contract.” In stark contrast, Lackner is “unemployed, has no income, and is on Medicaid with no means of support.”
The second woman, Kimberly Kaylee Baker, also slammed the $2,500 she was receiving from Hill, claiming that it cost over $10,000 to care for her child. She also accused Hill of showing “utter and abject unconcern” for their now-six-month-old daughter.
