Stefon Diggs shouts out Cardi B for NFL support: 'Amazing woman'

Stefon Diggs has spent most of his first season in New England keeping press conferences locked in on routes, reads, and results. On Wednesday, January 21, though, the New England Patriots wide receiver briefly pulled back the curtain to acknowledge a steady presence behind the scenes: his girlfriend, Cardi B.

Diggs made it clear the support hasn’t just been personal—it’s extended to the entire organization. “I just appreciate the support,” Diggs said, noting that Cardi B has embraced both him and the team since his arrival. “She wasn’t a football girl before I converted her over. But I’m just thankful to have her in my corner. She’s an amazing woman.”

While Diggs typically avoids discussing his private life publicly, he added that their relationship continues to grow. “I don’t talk too much about my personal life,” he said. “But she’s an amazing woman, and I just appreciate her. Hopefully I can build on that and watch that tree grow.”

The couple first appeared together publicly in May 2024, when they were spotted courtside at Madison Square Garden during a Boston Celtics–New York Knicks playoff game. Their relationship reached another milestone in November with the birth of their first child, a son.

Since then, Cardi B has become a familiar figure around the New England Patriots during the postseason run. She has been seen at Gillette Stadium, including a moment sitting alongside team owner Robert Kraft, and has also shown vocal support online.

After New England’s playoff victory, Cardi B took to X to fire back at ESPN after analysts on NFL Live unanimously picked the Houston Texans to advance. “What are y’all talking about?” She wrote, later adding, “THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IN US!!! I LIKE US!!!!!”
