"Congratulations, Stefon!! What a beautiful family."

"Congrats to Stefon Diggs and Cardi B! Exciting news."

The couple reportedly started dating earlier this year after their first public appearance together during a New York Knicks Game in May. The couple confirmed their relationship on Instagram in June.

Cardi B praised boyfriend Stefon Diggs for his support

However, the Grammy Award winner has put those rumors to bed with her latest announcement. Cardi B shared the space she is in her relationship with Diggs.

"Me and my man, we're very supportive of each other. We're like in the same space in our careers," Cardi B said. "I feel like we're really great and one of the best at what we do. And me and him think the same way.

The 31-year-old rapper also praised the Patriots wide receiver for making her feel "strong and confident."

"He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,' Cardi B said. "Two weeks ago, I was literally having a panic attack. I was like crying and crying and crying, just because I was getting really nervous with the whole album rollout.

"I was like, 'See, this is why I don't put music out?' This is my art and something I put a lot of time to and it's just like sometimes, when people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crushes you And he was just like, 'Girl, you better get it together.' ... I feel like feeling safe, feeling confident, it makes you feel like you can take over the world."

Diggs is 1-1 with the Patriots after the team bounced back in the Week 2 clash for a 33-27 win against the Miami Dolphins. He is coming off an ACL tear that ended his 2024 season in Week 8.
