Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs have become one of the most talked-about couples of the past year, and for good reason—their relationship has unfolded under the glaring spotlight of celebrity, sports, and social media. As Diggs prepares for his first Super Bowl appearance with the New England Patriots, the couple’s private life is making as many headlines as his sporting achievements. But behind the glamour and the drama, there’s a story of loyalty, boundaries, and the messy reality of blending families.
According to reporting by The U.S. Sun and Page Six, Cardi B has drawn a firm line in the sand with Diggs, whose reputation as a womanizer is well known in both NFL and entertainment circles. "She’s been very clear with Stefon: if he messes up, if another woman comes forward with a baby after they became official and started a family together, she’s done," an insider told The Sun. The warning is as direct as it gets: "She told him plainly that if he cheats or has a child behind her back, it’s over."
Diggs, 32, has certainly been busy off the field. In 2025 alone, he welcomed a son with Cardi B in November, a daughter named Charliee Harper with Aileen Lopera in April, another daughter with Cayy Benji also in April, and a son with Miami-based influencer K’yanna Barber later in the year. DNA testing confirmed Diggs as the father of Charliee Harper, resolving a high-profile paternity suit in January 2026. As The U.S. Sun reports, Diggs’ first child, Nova, was born in 2016 with singer Tyler-Marie, and he has another daughter, Shiloh, born in 2023 with model Kennedy Moore. That brings the total to six children with six different women, all before his relationship with Cardi B became official in 2025.
For many, this would be a deal-breaker. But Cardi B, 33, has shown a different kind of resilience. "Cardi has known since day one that Stefon had a reputation as a womanizer and had seen multiple women in the past, but her love for him is above all of that," a source explained to The Sun. She reportedly believes Diggs has been faithful since they committed to each other, and she values his transparency about previous relationships. "She knows he has been faithful since they made things official and that he’s been transparent about his previous relationships, only seeing her since they committed to each other."
Cardi B herself is no stranger to blended families. She shares daughters Kulture, 7, and Blossom, 1, and son Wave, 4, with her estranged husband Offset, from whom she filed for divorce in 2024. She and Diggs began dating in 2025, and by September of that year, she announced her pregnancy with Diggs during an interview on "CBS Mornings" with Gayle King. "I’m excited, I’m happy, I feel like I’m in a good space," Cardi B said at the time.
Despite the internet chatter and paternity drama, Cardi B has managed to keep her focus on what matters most to her: the children. "She sees his children as an extension of the family and enjoys when they’re all together, spending time as one big extended family," a source told The Sun. She reportedly does not harbor resentment toward Diggs’ exes or the mothers of his other children. "She doesn’t judge — she just wants everyone, especially the kids, to be happy and grow up in a stable, healthy environment."
Still, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Cardi B is fiercely protective of Diggs and is known to bristle when he’s publicly criticized. "She does get upset when people talk badly about him, seeing it as disrespect," a second source told The Sun. "She’s had arguments over how some people address or treat him in public — but she’s learning how to handle it better." Her loyalty, however, doesn’t mean she’ll tolerate betrayal. "When she loves, she fights for her man. Period," the source added. Cardi B is said to give Diggs advice on managing his relationships with the mothers of his children and on being the best father he can be—support he reportedly appreciates.
As Diggs readies for the Super Bowl, another storm looms. He faces felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges stemming from an alleged incident in a Boston suburb on December 2, 2025. According to Dedham police, the alleged victim, a personal chef employed by Diggs, filed a report on December 16, appearing "emotional and hesitant" to name him due to his fame. Court documents allege that Diggs confronted her over a text-message dispute about money, struck her, and then tried to choke her. The legal proceedings are ongoing, adding further strain to an already complicated personal life.
Financially, Diggs’ situation is just as complex. With a $70 million, three-year contract with the Patriots, he reportedly faces up to $2 million in child support payments, according to an expert cited by The U.S. Sun. The demands of co-parenting across multiple households, legal battles, and the all-consuming nature of professional football would be enough to upend most relationships. But Cardi B remains unwavering in her support. "She believes he’s telling the truth," the source said. "She knows how frustrating these situations can be, but she’s there for him 100 percent, fighting alongside him."
Cardi B’s approach to love and family seems to be one of fierce loyalty, clear boundaries, and a willingness to embrace complexity. "She sees herself as a lioness standing beside her lion — defending him, wanting him to be respected and loved, while also holding him accountable for his actions. To her, love means going to war for your partner when needed — being their strongest support in any circumstance," a source told The Sun.
As the Super Bowl approaches and Diggs’ legal issues play out, the couple’s ability to balance fame, family, and personal challenges will remain under the microscope. For now, Cardi B’s message is clear: loyalty has its limits, but love, in all its messiness, is worth fighting for—at least as long as the rules are respected.
