Cardi B and Stefon Diggs Relationship Timeline: From Rumors to Baby Boy and Reported Split

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs confirmed their relationship in public in May 2025, months after rumors began circulating following Cardi’s split from Offset. By then, the two had already been spotted together, but the courtside appearance at a New York Knicks game against the Boston Celtics made the connection harder to ignore. Cardi was seen on the Jumbotron squeezing Diggs’ cheeks.

The timeline that followed moved quickly. Cardi made the relationship Instagram official in June 2025, marking her first public romance since filing for divorce from Offset in July 2024. Her dating history has long played out in public, going back to her Love & Hip-Hop days in 2015. Before Diggs, her other major public relationship was with rapper Tommy Jeez, which ended in 2017.

Things became more serious later in 2025. During the rollout for Am I the Drama?, Cardi said she and Diggs were starting a family. On Nov. 13, 2025, she announced that they had welcomed a baby boy. Both were already parents before their relationship began. Cardi shares daughters Kulture and Blossom and son Wave with Offset. Diggs is father to a daughter named Nova and, according to reports, may have welcomed more children within months of his son with Cardi.

Billboard has tracked the major milestones in the couple’s relationship, from early rumors to the baby announcement and the reported breakup that followed. Here is the full timeline.
