Inside Stefon Diggs' 'difficult' reunion with Cardi B after shock split around the Super Bowl

Days after Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were seen packing on the PDA at a Mother’s Day event, insiders have since revealed the details about their stunning reunion.

The power couple, who have a child together, were all over each other in Washington DC on Saturday, as they attended an event for the NFL star’s Diggs Deep Foundation.

They had broken up around February’s Super Bowl – the rapper was supporting her man in the buildup to the game but then wiped references to him on social media and unfollowed the former New England Patriots wide receiver shortly after his team lost.

It sparked widespread rumors that the couple had called it quits but, on Saturday, all of that seemed to change when they appeared arm-in-arm at the charity event. 

Diggs was filmed kissing Cardi on the cheek at the event in front of their guests, while she also swung her leg around him to pose for the cameras. 

A source has since told Page Six: ‘She is giving him a second chance but is not fully committing to him. They added that the rapper is ‘slowly letting’ Diggs ‘back in’.

‘They’ve been in closer contact lately. Things are no longer contentious,’ the insider added. ‘She still has love for Stefon, which makes it difficult to walk away.’ 

Around their time of their supposed break-up, an insider told People that she had trust issues about Diggs.

Telling the publication, the insider said: ‘Things were getting too heated and complicated. Cardi is very no-nonsense.

‘The second she felt that she couldn’t trust him, she pulled back to focus on her kids, her music and tour. They co-parent and the door is not completely closed. They might reconnect in the future.’

For Diggs, the latest development comes at the end of a whirlwind week with the NFL star cleared in court of assaulting his personal chef after an incident at his home in Massachusetts last December.

Jamila Adams, a former live-in personal chef, testified that Diggs slapped and choked her during an argument. 

He had pleaded not guilty to a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. 

The jury deliberated for less than two hours before clearing Diggs of all charges.

‘The evidence has shown what we’ve maintained from day one: Mr. Diggs was wrongly accused, and this case represents exactly the kind of opportunistic targeting that players can face the moment they step off the field,’ Diggs’ attorney, Mitch Schuster, said in a statement.

Diggs, who is a free agent now, could still face discipline from the NFL, with spokesman Brian McCarthy saying: ‘We have been monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review of the personal conduct policy.’

The wide receiver was released by the Patriots in March despite an impressive season in New England leading up to the Super Bowl.

He led the team with 85 receptions and 1,013 yards receiving with four touchdowns. 

However, much like the rest of his team, he had a day to forget at the Super Bowl in San Francisco, recording just three receptions for 37 yards as the Patriots lost 29-13 to the Seattle Seahawks. 

The Patriots also saved some cap space by releasing him. Diggs signed a three-year $69 million deal in March 2025, with $26 million guaranteed. He was due to make $20.6 million this season. 

Attention on the upcoming 2026 campaign will inevitably ramp up later this week for both Diggs and teams across the league when the full schedule drops on Thursday.
