“Yall need to get married already,” Stefon Diggs' soft launch of Cardi B sparks fan frenzy

Stefon Diggs may be gearing up for a big comeback with the New England Patriots, but his personal life is already breaking the internet. Between recovering from a torn ACL, learning a new playbook, and making jaw-dropping Instagram cameos with Cardi B, Diggs is pulling double duty on and off the field.

And according to fans, and a few cryptic social media posts, they need to get married already.While the Patriots are banking on Diggs to return to Pro Bowl form after signing him to a three-year, $63.5 million guaranteed contract (that could hit $69 million with incentives), the pop culture spotlight has landed firmly on his blossoming relationship with the Grammy-winning rapper. Is this a power couple touchdown? Or is the off-field hype getting ahead of the downfield progress?

Stefon Diggs is running on a wild offseason timeline

Let’s rewind.

Diggs suffered an ACL tear back in Week 8 of the 2024 season (Oct. 27) while with the Houston Texans. After undergoing surgery and months of rehab, he signed with the Patriots in March 2025, marking one of the biggest wide receiver moves of the offseason. But while fans were watching the injury reports, Diggs was popping up courtside in NYC, next to Cardi B.

Their relationship, rumored to have started earlier in 2025, became Instagram-official in early June when they posted cozy yacht photos.

But the internet really caught fire on June 16, when Diggs dropped a cryptic Instagram carousel. It included a photo helping Cardi out of a luxury car, a lyric caption, “Ain’t nothing better for me now,” and a video of what appeared to be newlyweds dancing bachata. Cardi’s playful comment: “It’s the newlyweds dancing bachata for me 🇩🇴”, followed by Diggs’ flirty reply: “Necesito aprender” - Spanish for “I need to learn.

”Well, you think fans went over the top, remember her celebrating Father’s Day. If you don’t know, Cardi B posted a photo of Diggs smiling in front of massive blue balloons and a towering “DAD” sign, triggering a flood of speculation. No confirmations from either side, but the post was widely dubbed an “ultimate wifey move.” Combine that with Cardi’s ongoing divorce from Offset (filed again in July 2024 and still not finalized), and this story’s got more layers than a stadium nacho.

Diggs' recovery: Ahead of schedule, but not a lock

On the football front, Diggs is making progress. He’s shown up at Patriots OTAs and reportedly looks sharp, though he’s still not 100% cleared. Sources say the team may be strategically holding off on finalizing his $12 million signing bonus until he passes his physical, which keeps them protected if things don’t go as planned.The Patriots are betting big on Diggs as a primary weapon for second-year QB Drake Maye, especially after a rocky 2024 season. But with big money comes big expectations—and even bigger scrutiny. Love him or side-eye him, Diggs knows how to stay in the spotlight.Also Read: “This is too much”: Cardi B threw a Father’s Day shoutout to Stefon Diggs | NFL News - Times of India
