Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has made headlines both on and off the football field. Born in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in 1993, Diggs excelled in football and track at Our Lady of Good Counsel before committing to the University of Maryland. Forgoing his senior season, he entered the 2015 NFL Draft, beginning a career that saw him play for the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and now the Patriots.
His most productive years came with the Bills (2020–2024), where he became one of the NFL’s most explosive receivers. After joining the Patriots, Diggs has become a cornerstone of the team’s offense as they head into Super Bowl 2026.
The romance that captivated fans
Fans first speculated about Diggs’ relationship with Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B in October 2024, following a report from DJ Akademiks. The rumors intensified until June 2025, when Cardi B made their romance Instagram-official, sharing photos of the couple aboard a yacht.
The relationship quickly became serious. In September 2025, Cardi B revealed during a CBS Mornings interview that she was expecting her first child with Diggs. “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” she said, adding that the experience made her feel “strong and powerful.” The couple welcomed a baby boy in November 2025, with Cardi B sharing her excitement about balancing motherhood, music, and family life.
Balancing fatherhood and public scrutiny
Diggs is already father to Nova, born in 2016, and had another daughter with model Aileen Lopera earlier in 2025. Despite the complexities of a blended family and intense media attention, Diggs and Cardi B have continued to support each other publicly. Cardi B has attended key NFL moments, including the Patriots’ AFC Championship victory against the Denver Broncos in January 2026, celebrating alongside Diggs on the field.
From courtside appearances to Super Bowl excitement
The couple first appeared together publicly at a New York Knicks playoff game in May 2025 and were photographed holding hands at Madison Square Garden, cementing their presence in the public eye. Over the summer, they traveled internationally, including a castle getaway in France, further fueling fan fascination.
As Diggs prepares for the Super Bowl, Cardi B remains by his side, sharing in the excitement and cheering for him throughout the season.
Engagement plans and future milestones
In February 2026, Diggs addressed marriage plans with Cardi B, stating, “It’s on the agenda, maybe, right? Right? I gotta get [my ring] first.” Their journey highlights a modern balance of high-profile careers, family responsibilities, and personal milestones.
Legacy and family ties
Football runs deep in Diggs’ family. He is the eldest of three brothers, including Trevon Diggs of the Dallas Cowboys. Following their father’s death in 2008, Stefon became a father figure to his siblings while forging a professional career that has inspired many.
As the 2026 Super Bowl approaches, Stefon Diggs’ story is not just about athletic achievement—it is about family, love, and navigating life in the public eye with Cardi B by his side.
