Cardi B and Stefon Diggs' breakup made headlines after the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl to the Seattle Seahawks in January 2026.
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs' managed to dominate the headlines throughout 2025 with their relationship. Whether it was about their cosy photos from a yacht vacation, courtside NBA dates or a pregnancy announcement, the rapper and the NBA star seemed inseparable to fans. The couple especially won hearts when Cardi B came out at stadiums to support Steffon play through the stands, including his AFC win in January 2026. But the Patriots' subsequent loss to the Seattle Seahawks coincided with rumours of their breakup. Now days after the speculation, an insider has spilt fresh details about what really went on behind the scenes.
According to US Weekly, Cardi B broke up with Stefon Diggs just days before the Super Bowl. A source told the outlet that the pair had always had ups and downs in their relationship. Additionally, it is not the first time the couple has called off their relationship. Instead, the insider clarified that Cardi B and Stefon's break-up was not sudden, hinting towards the rocky nature of their bond behind the scenes. Sharing how their split culminated, the source said:
"They are always so upset and down. This isn't the first time they have broken up. Cardi is single and putting herself out there again. She feels free."
Furthermore, the insider reinforced the speculation that trust issues between the duo played a key role in their separation. According to the outlet's reports, the NBA star had betrayed Cardi B multiple times, and her friends had been trying to show her the reality and how she could do much better than him for a long time. Although the specific details of the alleged betrayal have not been confirmed by any public statements, rumours about Stefon's personal life have been at the forefront since the beginning. For those unaware, the buzz about the pair's separation increased when fans noticed how they had unfollowed each other on Instagram following Stefon's loss.
Cardi B, who has been on the road with her Little Miss Drama Tour, indirectly addressed her breakup at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on February 25, 2026. When she was on stage, she hinted that she and Stefon were no longer close, but no one had the right to comment on him. Incidentally, the rapper made the statement after rapper BIA allegedly took digs at the Patriots star. Despite not directly addressing the rumours, several fans felt it was confirmation that the duo was no longer together. In her words:
“Just because I ain’t f***ing with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy."
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were first romantically linked in late 2024, shortly after the rapper filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Offset. After months of speculation, they went public with their relationship in mid-2025 and confirmed their relationship at a New York Knicks playoff game. Eventually, the couple announced Cardi's pregnancy, and they welcomed their baby boy in November 2025.
Around the same time, reports alleged that Stefon welcomed another child around the same time leading him to face legal charges for the same. Despite initially supporting the NBA star through the phase, it seems like Cardi has reached her limits. Meanwhile, Cardi is now focusing on her ongoing music tour, her first since 2019.
