Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Split Twist

What Happened Between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs? The Cardi B & Stefon Diggs split twist has taken the internet by storm. Just months after welcoming a baby together, rapper Cardi B, 33, has stepped back from her relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, 32. According to a source close to the couple, things got “too heated and complicated”, and Cardi walked away.

The Real Reason She Pulled Back

A source told PEOPLE directly:

“The second she felt that she couldn’t trust him, she pulled back to focus on her kids, her music and tour.”

Furthermore, the insider added that Cardi needs stability, not just for herself, but for her children, too. She is known for being no-nonsense, and once trust was broken, her decision came fast.

Super Bowl Was the Breaking Point

The Super Bowl on Feb. 8, 2026, clearly marked a turning point. Diggs’ Patriots lost 29-13 to the Seattle Seahawks. However, what happened off the field grabbed even more attention.

When an ESPN reporter asked Cardi for an encouraging message for Diggs before the game, she simply said, “Good luck” and walked away. Additionally, she appeared in Bad Bunny’s halftime show – but left the game early. She later posted a video singing in her car.

Shortly after, both unfollowed each other on social media. Then, on Feb. 15, during her Little Miss Drama Tour stop in Los Angeles, Cardi made it clear she is no longer involved with Diggs.

So, Is It Truly Over?

Not entirely. Despite the split, they continue to co-parent their son. A source confirmed:

“The door is not completely closed. They might reconnect in the future.”

Cardi is also mother to Kulture (7½), Wave (4), and Blossom (17 months) from her previous marriage to rapper Offset.

What’s Next for Cardi B?

Cardi is currently focused on three things – her children, music, and tour. Interestingly, just before the Super Bowl, Diggs had hinted at a proposal, telling reporters: “It’s on the agenda, maybe… I gotta get my ring first.” That conversation now feels very distant.

Ultimately, the Cardi B & Stefon Diggs split twist reminds us how quickly things can change, even after a baby, a public romance, and talk of marriage. For now, Cardi is choosing peace over complications, and fans are watching closely to see what chapter comes next.
