Cardi B Buys $500,000 Watch Amid Stefon Diggs Breakup Rumors

Cardi B's relationship status isn't anyone's business but her own.

As rumors about the status of her and Stefon Diggs' relationship continue to swirl, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper shared insight into where she and the New England Patriots wide receiver stand.

"Just because I ain't f--king with my baby daddy," Cardi said onstage at the Feb. 15 show in Los Angeles during her Little Miss Drama Tour, per videos shared to social media, "doesn't mean you get to talk about my baby daddy!"

She then jumped into her song "Pretty & Petty."

Cardi's comments were seemingly in response to rapper Bia—who is named in "Pretty & Petty"—after she replied to a video of Cardi previously performing the track on X Feb. 12 and referenced the women with whom Stefon shares children.

"Can u name someone with more bms [baby mamas] than receiving yards?" Bia wrote. "I can! and I know that…"

Cardi's insight into where she and Stefon stand comes after the Grammy winner—who welcomed a baby boy with the NFL player in November—was seen leaving the 2026 Super Bowl early on Feb. 8. At the same time, multiple reports emerged that the couple had broken up after one year of dating, though neither Stefon nor Cardi responded to speculation.

Following the big game, the 33-year-old—also mom to kids Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 17 months, with estranged husband Offset—and Stefon had also unfollowed each other on Instagram.

E! News has previously reached out to Stefon and Cardi's reps for comment regarding the breakup rumors but did not hear back.

But while Cardi and Stefon's relationship status remains up in the air, the athlete, for his part, previously teased their game plan, which included putting a ring on it.

"It's on the agenda," Stefon told reporters about a possible engagement during the Super Bowl Opening Night on Feb. 2. "Maybe, right?"

He then quipped, referencing a Super Bowl ring, "I gotta get mine first."

And he couldn't help but praise Cardi's support ahead of the Super Bowl, where the Seattle Seahawks ultimately took home the Vince Lombardi Trophy after a 29-13 win.

"As a significant other, I really appreciate it," he added. "It's a level of appreciation because she's an amazing woman. Being there for me is hard, you can imagine. I'm a lot to deal with, but I never want to not let her know that I appreciate her for being there. Not just for the games, but she supported me when she wasn't there."

As Cardi continues to bring the drama on her new tour, keep reading for a closer look at her and Stefon's romance.

The Beginning of Their Romance

While fans already knew Cardi B likes those Balenciagas (the ones that look like socks), they began wondering if she also liked Stefon Diggs in October 2024. The rapper and the New England Patriots wide receiver then fueled dating speculation after they were photographed together on Valentine's Day 2025.

Though Cardi hasn't revealed the exact Xs and Os of how she met Stefon, it was more or less her thinking, "Oh he's so handsome, what's his name?"

"I thought he was cute," she said on a September 2025 episode of Today, noting they connected through mutual friends. "I was like, 'Oh, he gotta be mine.'"

A Fashionable Night Out

While some would prefer to finesse rumors, the Grammy winner and the athlete weren't afraid to keep people talking when they stepped out for a 2025 Met Gala after-party in May.

Confirming Their Relationship

Later that month, Cardi and Stefon confirmed they're a couple while attending an NBA Playoff game between the Celtics and the Knicks in New York.

"It’s tough hiding. It’s tough dating in your 30s, too, but I like him. I love him, today," the "Bodak Yellow" artist told Billboard in September 2025. "I was always scared of dating people [because] I’ve always been in a long relationship since I was like 21."

In June 2025, the "Money" star and the football player made some more moves, debuting their relationship on Instagram and then taking a trip to Paris.

Luxurious Gifts

But fans began to wonder if Cardi and Stefon had already split after their Instagram post marking their hard launch was deleted in July 2025.

However, the musician assured followers things were Okurrr after she posted a video showcasing the Patek Philippe watch she got from Stefon.

"My boo boo got it for me at London Jewelers," she said in an August 2025 TikTok. "You know, I went to link up with him at London Jewelers and I thought he was buying himself a watch. And [he was] like, 'Surprise, a watch for you!' And [I was like], 'Ahhh! Thank you!'"

Shutting Down Speculation

Weeks later, there was speculation that Cardi could be growing her family. But when the star—who also shares kids Kulture, Wave and Blossom with ex Offset—was asked about the paternity of her rumored little one, she slammed the question.

"You’re disrespectful. Don’t do that," she told the inquirer in September 2025 while exiting a courthouse in L.A., where she won her viral trial. "Do you see women asking those types of questions to me?...Why do you feel as a man you get to ask me those types of questions? Act like you have some manners. Your mama taught you: Respect women."

A Baby on the Way

Later that month, Cardi confirmed she and Stefon are expecting a baby. While the child will be the couple's first together, the bundle of joy marks her fourth and his second overall (He is dad to daughter Nova from a previous relationship).

"Everybody kept telling me I should have fun, and we had a little bit of too fun and now I’m here," Cardi told CBS Mornings in September 2025, adding, "We’re very excited. We’re very happy."

And she had a message for all those who had been spreading pregnancy rumors.

"Now y’all can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff," Cardi added, referencing her sophomore release Am I the Drama?. "I told ya. Now go support my album ‘cause I’m a mother of four now."

Cheering Each Other On

For Cardi, forming a new relationship with Stefon after her divorce from Offset required her to be "open and vulnerable."

"One time he just told me like, ‘Let me heal you,'" she continued on CBS Mornings. "'Give me a chance for me to heal you.'"

And while Stefon plays offense, he's quick to come to Cardi's defense. Like when he supported her ahead of her album release.

"When people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crush you," she added. "He’s like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.’ He makes me feel very confident. I feel like feeling safe is feeling confident. Feeling like you can do it, and it makes you feel like you can take over the world."

Of course, the support goes both ways as Cardi noted she's become a football fan.

"I be in the screen on Sunday, every day, cursing people out," she said on a September 2025 episode of Today. "'Pass the ball!'"

Addressing Allegations

Shortly after Cardi announced her pregnancy, Stefon made headlines over a lawsuit model Aileen Lopera filed in December 2024 in which she accused him of fathering her baby girl born in April 2025, per court documents obtained by People. According to his response obtained by the outlet, Stefon has contested the allegation that he fathered the child and has requested genetic testing to determine paternity.

Cardi then appeared to address the drama on social media.

"Hello, Barbara. This is Shirley," she said in a September 2025, giving a nod to the lyrics of Shirley Brown’s song "Woman to Woman" in which a woman calls up her partner’s mistress. "That’s your baby daddy, b---h? That’s my baby daddy, too. Well what now? I don’t f--king know. We’ll figure it out b---h."
