Cardi B and Stefon Diggs: A Timeline of Their Relationship

The relationship between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs has moved in public, step by step, from rumor to confirmation to family news, and then, just as quickly, back into the swirl of speculation. What started as fans connecting dots after Cardi’s split from Offset became one of pop culture’s most closely watched romances.

By May 2025, the pair had already given people enough to talk about. They were spotted courtside at a New York Knicks game against the Boston Celtics, and Cardi was seen on the Jumbotron squeezing Diggs’ cheeks. A month later, the two made things Instagram official. For Cardi, whose love life has long played out in public, it marked her first public relationship since filing for divorce from Offset in July 2024.

That visibility has only intensified. During the rollout for Am I the Drama?, Cardi said she and Diggs were starting a family. On Nov. 13, 2025, she announced they had welcomed a baby boy. Both already had children before their relationship began: Cardi shares daughters Kulture and Blossom and son Wave with Offset, while Diggs is already father to a daughter named Nova and, according to reports, possibly other children as well.

Below is a timeline of the major moments that have defined Cardi and Diggs’ relationship so far.

Oct. 9, 2024: Social Media Rumors Pick Up Steam

Long before either of them said anything publicly, rumors were already flying. In October 2024, Cardi felt the need to address claims that she and Diggs had been seen together. The sightings remained unconfirmed, but the chatter got loud enough that she went on Instagram Live to laugh it off.

“The internet is insane, all these rumors are so f—king crazy, that’s why I don’t wanna address it cause I feel like this s—t funny,” Cardi said on Instagram Live at the time.

Dec. 18, 2024: Cardi Says She’s “Dating” Amid Offset Drama

By December, Cardi was openly saying she was “dating” while her split from Offset continued to unfold messily online. After Offset posted and then deleted insults aimed at his estranged wife, Cardi fired back in blunt fashion, pushing back on the idea that being single meant she was doing anything but moving on.

“So dating because I’m single means I’m just worried about d–k?? You sound like a dummy..” she replied. “Trying to be fake nice after you did what you wanted from the beginning trying to push a narrative to these people. Congratulations!! F—k off. Sign the papers TODAY.”

Feb. 14, 2025: Valentine’s Day in Miami

The first confirmed public appearance of Cardi and Diggs came on Valentine’s Day, when TMZ shared footage of the pair arriving at an undisclosed Miami hotel in the middle of the night. Up to that point, everything had lived in the territory of rumor and hints. This made it harder to pretend there was nothing going on.

April 27, 2025: Cardi Confirms She Has a New Man

“It’s been a couple of weeks and I haven’t addressed nothing,” she said. “Because it’s like … you know when you got a gorgeous n–ga f–king you and loving you from head to toe? It’s like, I don’t really give a f–k what anybody says when you got a real fine n–ga that love you from head to toe.”

“I’m excited,” she continued. “I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”

Nov. 13, 2025: Baby Boy Arrives

Cardi announced the birth of her and Diggs’ son on Instagram, using the caption of a video soundtracked by her Am I the Drama? track “Hello.” Her message connected the birth to a wider reset in her life, describing the moment as part of a new season.

“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons,” she wrote in part. “My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve. This next chapter is Me vs. Me!”

He also revealed his favorite song by Cardi during the event, another small but telling detail in a relationship that has never stayed private for long.

Feb. 15, 2026: Signs of a Split

By mid-February, fans noticed Cardi and Diggs had unfollowed each other on Instagram. Not long after, Cardi seemed to confirm they had broken up during a Little Miss Drama Tour show, saying, “Just because I ain’t f–king with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy.”

The remark came after BIA appeared to take a swipe at Diggs on X, writing, “Can u name someone with more [baby mamas] than receiving yards. I can!”
