Cardi B & NFL Star Stefon Diggs Get Cozy at New York Knicks Game Amid Dating Rumors
The two were spotted holding hands at times during the May 12 game at Madison Square Garden.

Dating rumors got a bit of a boost on Monday night (May 12) as Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs enjoyed their first public date night cheering on the New York Knicks during the team’s game five win over the Boston Celtics.
The two have been rumored to be an item on social media for months, and they leaned in with a hard launch as the rapper and Pro Bowl wide receive — who sported a denim jacket look with Chrome Hearts Timberland boots were spotted holding hands on the way into the game, had their arms on one another throughout the contest, with the “Bodak Yellow” artist — wearing a black leather skirt and matching top with heels — even putting her hand lovingly on the football star’s cheek at one point. The pair also appeared on the Jumbotron during the game.
Billboard has reached out to reps for Cardi and Diggs for comment.
This marks a new chapter for Cardi B, who appears to be in her first public relationship since filing for divorce from Offset last year. It’s a lot of new for Diggs as well, who signed a three-year $69 million deal with the New England Patriots to catch passes from quarterback Drake Maye in March.
The Knicks took care of business with a 121-113 defeat of the Celtics in game four to go up three-one in the series and are one win away from knocking the defending champs out of the playoffs. The New York team will look to punch its ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night (May 14) in Boston, and the Celtics could be without superstar Jayson Tatum, who left the game with a lower leg injury late in the fourth quarter.
Cardi and Diggs added to the star-studded affair that was Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden on Monday evening. Mary J. Blige, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Bad Bunny, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Busta Rhymes, Ben Stiller, coach Rick Pitino and more stars were also in attendance.
Diggs, 31, became a father to daughter, Nova, in 2016, while Cardi had three children during her relationship with Offset: 6-year-old Kulture, 3-year-old Wave and a daughter born in September, whose name she has not confirmed.
