Tracing the Start of Stefon Diggs and Cardi B’s Relationship
The pairing of Cardi B and Stefon Diggs quickly became one of the NFL’s most talked-about couples. Rumors began circulating in October 2023, but the relationship gained momentum after Cardi was spotted arriving at a Miami hotel with Diggs on Valentine’s Day.
The pair continued to appear together publicly, including at Coachella two months later, despite Offset’s obvious reluctance to acknowledge their closeness. Cardi addressed the situation in an April conversation on X Spaces:
“It’s been a couple of weeks, and I haven’t addressed nothing. Because it’s like … you know when you got a gorgeous n–ga f–king you and loving you from head to toe? It’s like, I don’t really give a f–k what anybody says when you got a real fine n–ga that love you from head to toe.” —Cardi B, Rapper
By May, the couple made more public appearances, attending a Met Gala afterparty and sitting courtside at a Knicks-Celtics game. On June 1, Cardi B made their relationship official on Instagram, posting a video with Diggs that highlighted the shift in her romantic life.

The relationship may bring added media scrutiny to Diggs’s career during the NFL season while providing Cardi B fresh inspiration for her music and public persona. Given their visibility, the couple’s next moves are likely to continue attracting widespread interest across entertainment and sports platforms.
