AceShowbiz - Speculation surrounding the relationship between Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs began to swirl after her separation from rapper Offset. The two confirmed their romantic connection during a warm courtside date in May 2025, where fans spotted the New England Patriots player and the Grammy-winning artist cheering for the New York Knicks as they faced off against the Boston Celtics. At one point, Cardi was even seen on the Jumbotron affectionately pinching Diggs’ cheeks.

In June 2025, the couple made their relationship Instagram official, marking this as the first public romance for Cardi since filing for divorce from Offset in July 2024. Cardi has long been accustomed to the public eye, dating back to her Love & Hip-Hop days in 2015. Besides Offset, her only significant public relationship prior to Diggs was with rapper Tommy Jeez, with whom she broke up in 2017.

Things quickly escalated between Cardi and Diggs, especially when the rapper revealed during the rollout of her album Am I the Drama? that they were expecting a child together. On November 13, 2025, Cardi announced the arrival of their baby boy. While this marks their first child together, both artists were already parents before their relationship began. Cardi has daughters Kulture and Blossom, along with son Wave from her previous marriage, while Diggs is the father of a young girl named Nova, and potentially has other children he welcomed shortly before his son with Cardi, according to various reports.

As one of the most buzzed-about pairings in contemporary pop culture, Billboard is committed to tracking the key moments in the love story between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs. Below is a timeline detailing their relationship milestones.
