Stefon Diggs and Cardi B: A Super Bowl Sunday That May Have Marked More Than a Patriots Loss
Super Bowl Sunday is usually about the game, the halftime show, and the commercials. But this year, the drama extended well beyond the field. As the New England Patriots fell to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, another high-profile storyline may have hit its own breaking point-this one off the turf and deep in the celebrity spotlight.
Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the Patriots, and music superstar Cardi B are reportedly navigating a rough patch-or possibly a breakup-after a string of eyebrow-raising social media activity that followed the big game. The couple, who’ve been in the public eye since first being linked in late 2024, appeared to unfollow each other on Instagram shortly after the Patriots’ loss. For fans who’ve followed their whirlwind romance, this digital move didn’t go unnoticed.
And then came the posts. Both Diggs and Cardi shared cryptic, emotionally charged messages that fueled speculation of a split.
One viral tweet referenced drama involving another one of Diggs’ children’s mothers attending the Super Bowl with front-row seats-an apparent sore spot that may have added fuel to the fire. Reports also indicated that Cardi left the game early, and a lavish $1.2 million after-party was left untouched, a stark contrast to what was expected to be a celebration.
To understand the weight of this moment, you have to look at how fast things moved between the two. Their connection first made headlines in October 2024, shortly after Cardi’s public separation from Offset.
By Valentine’s Day 2025, they were spotted together at a Miami hotel, and just weeks earlier, they had been seen enjoying a night out at a New York nightclub. But it was during the NBA playoffs in May 2025 that the relationship was truly confirmed-Cardi and Diggs sat courtside at Madison Square Garden, exchanging smiles, laughs, and a few headline-grabbing kisses.
Cardi made it official on Instagram the following month, posting a photo of the two looking every bit the power couple, with a caption that hinted at a fresh start. And the milestones kept coming.
In September 2025, Cardi announced her pregnancy on CBS Mornings, revealing Diggs as the father and describing their relationship as deeply supportive. Their baby boy was born in November, joining Cardi’s three children from her previous marriage and Diggs’ children from past relationships.
Despite the spotlight-and the scrutiny that comes with it-the couple seemed to be building something real. From public praise to private moments shared on social media, they projected a united front. In January 2026, Cardi even spoke out in support of Diggs amid external pressures, while Diggs hinted at a possible engagement during Super Bowl media week, saying it was “on the agenda.”
But if this past Sunday is any indication, things may have shifted dramatically. The timing is hard to ignore: a crushing Super Bowl loss, followed by social media silence, unfollows, and emotional posts. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the signs point to a relationship that’s either on pause or possibly over.
For now, fans are left piecing together clues from Instagram stories and sideline glances. Whether this is just a rough patch or the end of a high-profile romance, one thing’s clear-Super Bowl LX wasn’t just a tough night for the Patriots. It may have marked a turning point for one of the most talked-about couples in sports and entertainment.
