Who Is Cardi B Dating? Meet NFL Star Stefon Diggs After Their Basketball Date Night

Cardi B has a new man in her life following her split from estranged husband Offset, and she seemingly confirmed rumors that she’s dating Stefon Diggs when they attended a New York Knicks game together in May 2025.

Who Is Stefon Diggs?

Stefon is best known for his career as a wide receiver in the NFL. After he played college football for the Maryland Terrapins, he was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft.

He played for the Minnesota Vikings from 2015 until 2019, and he went on to be a star player for the Buffalo Bills from 2020 until 2023. Stefon was traded to the Houston Texans during the 2024 season, though he suffered a non-contact injury to his knee during an October 2024 game and didn’t play for the rest of the season.

Following his brief stint with the Texans, Stefon was traded to the New England Patriots ahead of the 2025-2026 season. Stefon signed a three-year contract with the Patriots for $69 million max, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Stefon Diggs Is a Fashion Fan

Stefon is a big fan of fashion, and he often debuts his bold ensembles before football games and at public events.

“I’m from the DMV, where we’re known for having unique style, being a little different, and dressing how we want. That kind of shaped me,” he told V Magazine about his taste in style in March 2024. “My mom has a picture of me wearing cowboy boots in the summertime, just because I loved cowboy boots at that time. And it’s not that my parents let me wear whatever I wanted, but they were able to balance out being yourself with being presentable.”

Stefon is the proud father to one daughter, Nova, whom he welcomed on October 14, 2016. Despite being a public figure himself, Stefon has never publicly disclosed the identity of Nova’s mother.

Stefon Diggs Is Reportedly Dating Cardi B

After Cardi filed for divorce from Offset for a second time in July 2024, she sparked romance rumors with Stefon in February 2025 when they were spotted spending Valentine’s Day together in Miami.

The speculation continued on May 5, 2025, when rumors began to swirl that the pair was seen holding hands while leaving the Met Gala in New York City. Stefon was later spotted in Cardi’s old neighborhood of Harlem, which led many fans to believe they were more than just friends.

Cardi and Stefon seemingly confirmed their romance when they attended a Knicks playoff game at Madison Square Garden on May 12, 2025. The duo held hands outside of the venue, and they were all smiles as they watched the game while sitting court side.

She found herself a good looking NEW guy some should learn from her …” one person wrote via Instagram alongside photos of the pair at the game.
