Stefon Diggs has kept his love life mostly under wraps over the years. But of late, he has been seen with rapper Cardi B, and suddenly his personal life seems wide open, capturing the intrigue and attention of fans.

Rumors connecting Diggs and Cardi B began swirling last October when DJ Akademiks claimed the singer had been seeing the New England Patriots WR even before she filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024.
At the time, Cardi B addressed the speculation on an Instagram Live, calling the reports “crazy”. However, it remains unclear whether she was denying the rumors of dating Diggs before officially separating from her ex-husband or dating him at all.
“The internet is insane. All these rumors are so crazy. That’s why I don’t want to address it, because this s*** is funny. I’m just going to let it ride out, because I think it’s cute. It’s funny. I’m going to let people think what they want to think,” Cardi B had said.
What’s intriguing is that the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper may have brushed off the dating rumors, but she never outright denied them. And their recent public appearances are only adding fuel to the fire.
The duo got the rumor mill churning again after they were spotted together at a nightclub in New York City on Valentine’s Day. Speculations sparked that they might be more than just friends.
In April, Diggs and Cardi were spotted together at a nightclub, dancing closely and enjoying each other’s company. Just this month, the two were seen courtside at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, arriving hand-in-hand.
At this point, it’s getting harder to write off the speculation. Their connection may not be official, but it certainly doesn’t look like they’re “just friends”.
However, a recent video circulating online shows Diggs aboard a yacht in Miami, flirting with multiple women. Interestingly, Cardi B was also at that same party, seen in the background of the footage. The video made its way to the Patriots’ front office and caught the attention of head coach Mike Vrabel.

During a recent press conference, the coach acknowledged the footage and addressed the situation, emphasizing the importance of players making smart decisions both on and off the field. Vrabel confirmed that he and the organization had spoken directly with Diggs about the incident.
“Well, it’s something we are aware of, and obviously we want [players] to make great decisions on and off the field,” said Vrabel.
“And we’re hoping that with our time here on the field today, and that when we don’t have a script and we’re on call periods, that we’re making great decisions, and so the message will be the same for all our players that we’re trying to make great decisions. Any conversations that I’ve had with Stefon will remain between him and me,” added the coach.
To add to the noise, Diggs has also been absent from the team’s OTAs. While participation is technically voluntary, Vrabel made it clear that he expects players to be present, or at the very least, to keep open lines of communication with him if they’re not attending.
Diggs has always had a complicated reputation, and it seems like some of those concerns are resurfacing. The Patriots brought him in to provide leadership for their young receiving corps and to serve as a key weapon for their developing quarterback.
That said, these offseason workouts are voluntary, and Diggs is simply enjoying his break before the real work begins. If he shows up ready to perform when it matters, his offseason choices shouldn’t be a major concern. Ultimately, it’s what he does on the field that will define his impact.
