Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’s Full Relationship Timeline

After months of speculation, Cardi B and NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs appeared to confirm their relationship with a joint appearance at the Knicks-Celtics playoff game at Madison Square Garden on May 12. The rapper and the New England Patriots player had been seen together several times leading up to the game, fueling dating rumors.

This is Cardi’s first public relationship since her split from Offset, her former husband of seven years with whom she shares three children: Kulture, Wave, and their youngest daughter, whose name they haven’t revealed. Diggs has kept his love life largely private, although he has one daughter, Nova, with his ex-girlfriend Tyler Marie.

Below, a full timeline of everything we know about Cardi and Diggs’s relationship so far.

Cardi and Diggs sparked dating rumors in October. In an Instagram Live, the rapper denied the speculation, calling it “crazy.”

TMZ published a video of the pair at a New York City nightclub, leading fans to question their relationship status.

Later in the month, TMZ shared a second video of Cardi and Diggs arriving at a Miami hotel together over Valentine’s Day weekend.

On April 11, Diggs revealed he wasn’t single while answering fan questions on Instagram Live. He didn’t name his partner, but his comment further fueled speculation he and Cardi were seeing each other given their recent sightings.

During a X Spaces broadcast on April 27, Cardi made several comments about being in a new relationship but didn’t share her partner’s identity. “When you got a gorgeous [man] loving you from head to toe, it’s like I don’t really give a fuck what anybody says,” she told listeners.

On May 5, Cardi and Diggs were seen heading into a Met Gala after-party seconds apart after attending the annual fashion event separately.

One week later, the couple made their first official public appearance at Game 4 of the Knicks-Celtics playoff series. They arrived at Madison Square Garden holding hands and sat courtside with other celebrities including Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Kendall Jenner, and Mary J. Blige.

They were affectionate during the game. Cardi touched Diggs’s face, and Diggs placed an arm around her at one point.

Cardi shared a clip of her nails and jewelry on her Instagram Stories but avoided posting photos of Diggs.
