Cardi B and Stefon Diggs Go Public With Relationship at Knicks Playoff Game

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs Make Relationship Official at Madison Square Garden

The energy at Madison Square Garden was already high on May 13, 2025, thanks to a key NBA playoff game, but it shot even higher when Cardi B and Stefon Diggs showed up courtside. The two, who've been sliding into headlines with teasing sightings all year, finally went all in—locking arms, holding hands, and sharing cozy moments that left little doubt about their relationship status. While fans watched the New York Knicks clinch a 121-113 win over the Boston Celtics, the rapper and the NFL wide receiver became as much of a spectacle as the game itself.

Photos from the night don't lie. You can see Cardi holding Diggs’ face, Diggs casually wrapping his arm around her shoulders, and the pair walking hand-in-hand as they left the arena. Media outlets didn't hesitate to label this their 'official debut' as a couple, and fans got the message: the rumors were true all along.

From Miami Rumors to the Courtside Spotlight

Let’s rewind a bit. Whisperings about Cardi and Stefon started all the way back in February. Paparazzi shots showed them checking into a Miami hotel together during Valentine's Day weekend—classic move for sparking romance gossip, right? Things only heated up with back-to-back sightings: a Manhattan nightclub appearance here, a Coachella moment there (where Cardi gave Diggs a lap dance after he bagged a $69 million deal with the Patriots), and their joint exit from the Met Gala. Each surprise sighting added fuel to the fire, with fans playing detective and tabloids tracking their every move.

But what made this Knicks game so significant is that the pair weren't hiding anymore. No more cryptic Insta posts or backstage meetups—they were out in broad daylight, in front of thousands of fans, not to mention a handful of famous faces. The crowd that night included celebrities like Bad Bunny, Tina Fey, and Spike Lee, but all eyes seemed glued to the couple’s courtside chemistry. When the game ended, the couple’s playful PDA had already made waves across social media.

Fans also noticed the timing: Cardi B is still in the midst of a headline-grabbing divorce from her ex-husband Offset, a breakup that’s been anything but private. Still, Offset took everyone by surprise with his reaction. Instead of drama, he posted 'I'm happy for her !!' on social media—a rare display of public positivity in a world where celebrity splits often get messy.

This new chapter for Cardi comes after months of speculation and the closure of a rocky relationship. With Stefon Diggs by her side, and a string of high-profile sightings now made official, it's clear she's embracing change—and doing it on her own terms. For fans, this public PDA put the rumors to rest and set the stage for one of the most talked-about celebrity couples of 2025.
