Cardi B and Stefon Diggs are reportedly giving their relationship another shot, according to a source who spoke exclusively to a major entertainment outlet. The insider claims that the NFL star recently made a concerted effort to reconcile with the Grammy-winning rapper after the pair split earlier this year.
'Cardi pulled away from the drama in February,' the source alleged. 'She didn't trust him and felt like things were going on behind her back. She wasn't in a place emotionally to deal with fighting and tension.'
The source added that Cardi 'needed to just finish' her Little Miss Drama Tour, which ran from February to April, and 'have stability for her kids.' The tour, which spanned multiple cities, was a high-energy affair that showcased Cardi's signature blend of rap and stage presence. Despite the professional success, the personal turmoil reportedly weighed on her.
However, the insider claimed that Cardi 'never closed the door completely' on the relationship. Diggs, a wide receiver for the Houston Texans (formerly of the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings), allegedly 'stepped it up a few weeks ago and showed her that he wants to make it work.'
'It was enough of an effort to get her attention,' the source continued. 'She still cares about him a lot.'
Neither Cardi nor Stefon has commented publicly about their relationship, but public sightings have fueled speculation. Rumors that the two had rekindled took off earlier this week when Cardi attended Diggs' Diggs Deep Foundation Mother's Day wellness event in Washington, D.C. At the event, the two were seen showing PDA and posing for photos together, which quickly circulated on social media.
The pair had already fueled speculation in April after Diggs was spotted in attendance at Cardi's Little Miss Drama Tour stop at Capital One Arena. At that performance, Cardi jokingly told the crowd, 'I might get put on my back tonight.' Diggs later appeared at her afterparty at Throw Social before the two reportedly left together.
Rumors that the two were romantically linked began circulating in October 2024. They spent Valentine's Day together in 2025 and became Instagram official that June. In a September 2025 interview with Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY With Jenna & Friends, Cardi said the two were set up by 'mutual friends.' 'I thought he was cute,' Cardi said at the time. 'I was like, Oh, he's gotta be mine.'
The relationship faced turbulence earlier this year. A source confirmed to Entertainment Tonight in early February that Cardi and Diggs had ended their relationship, but noted that not all hope was lost. 'It's possible they get back together and this could just be for right now,' that source said. 'She is focused on her upcoming tour and family while figuring out their next steps.'
Cardi and Diggs share a son, whom they refer to as 'Baby Brim' or 'Baby Touchdown,' born in November 2025. The child's nickname reflects Diggs' football career, as 'Brim' is a nod to his alma mater, the University of Maryland, where he played college football before being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015. Diggs has since become one of the NFL's most dynamic receivers, known for his precise route running and acrobatic catches. He was traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2020, where he became Josh Allen's top target, and later moved to the Houston Texans in a 2024 trade.
Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, rose to fame as a reality TV star on Love & Hip Hop: New York before releasing her debut single 'Bodak Yellow' in 2017, which topped the Billboard Hot 100. She has since won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album for Invasion of Privacy and has become a cultural icon known for her unapologetic lyrics and vibrant personality. She remains legally married to estranged husband Offset, as their divorce has not been finalized. Cardi and Offset share two children: daughter Kulture, born in 2018, and son Wave, born in 2021. The legal status of her marriage to Offset has been a subject of ongoing speculation, but Cardi has stated in interviews that she is focused on co-parenting and her career.
Diggs, meanwhile, has had his own legal entanglements. In early 2026, he was found not guilty after being charged with assault and strangulation of his former chef. The trial concluded with a jury verdict after just over an hour of deliberations, a case that garnered significant media attention. Despite the acquittal, the incident added strain to his public image and personal life.
The Mother's Day event where the couple was seen together was hosted by Diggs' foundation, which focuses on supporting families and wellness initiatives. The event featured activities for mothers and children, and Diggs was photographed smiling alongside Cardi, holding their son. The images quickly went viral on social media, with fans expressing excitement about the potential reunion.
Cardi's tour, the Little Miss Drama Tour, was a major success, selling out arenas across the country. The tour's name, a play on her 2024 single 'Little Miss Drama,' reflected her ability to turn personal struggles into chart-topping hits. The tour also featured opening acts from emerging hip-hop artists, and Cardi frequently interacted with fans during shows, sharing candid moments about her life.
The couple's relationship has been a topic of fascination for fans and media alike, given their high profiles. Cardi's career continues to thrive; she recently released new music and is rumored to be working on her second studio album. Diggs, now with the Texans, is preparing for the 2026 NFL season with hopes of leading his team to a Super Bowl. Their potential reconciliation adds another layer of intrigue to their already compelling narratives.
As of now, neither Cardi nor Diggs has issued a public statement, but the source's claims and the public appearances suggest that the two are open to rebuilding their relationship. Only time will tell if this reunion will last, but for now, fans are watching closely.
