Julian Edelman hit with paternity suit by Swedish model

Julian Edelman has been named in a paternity suit by Swedish model Ella Rose, who claims the New England Patriots wide receiver is the father of her unborn baby.

Rose filed paternity documents in L.A. County Superior Court, according to TMZ Sports. The website reports that the two have been in a "casual relationship" for about two years, though Edelman was recently spotted with Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima.

Edelman initially denied the baby was his, but now acknowledges he's the father, sources told Mark Shanahan of The Boston Globe.
