Cardi B and Stefon Diggs have rekindled their romance following a brief separation earlier this year, according to sources close to the couple. The relationship appears to be moving forward cautiously as the rapper navigates her feelings about giving the former NFL player a second chance.
"Cardi and Stefon are giving things another shot," a source revealed. "She is giving him a second chance but is not fully committing to him." The insider added that Cardi, 33, is "slowly letting" Diggs, 32, "back in."
The reconciliation follows a period of improved communication between the two. "They've been in closer contact lately. Things are no longer contentious," the source explained. "She still has love for Stefon, which makes it difficult to walk away."
The couple's renewed connection became publicly visible at the "A Moment for Moms" celebration on Saturday, May 9, an event hosted by Diggs' Diggs Deep Foundation. Sports reporter Kelsey Nicole Nelson shared photographs from the gathering showing the pair greeting attendees together. In one image, Diggs wrapped his arms around Cardi's waist as they smiled for the camera, displaying a level of comfort and affection that suggested their relationship had moved past earlier tensions.
The relationship between Cardi and Diggs began last year and resulted in the birth of their son in November 2025. The child represents Cardi's fourth, as she shares three children with ex-husband Offset, while Diggs has two children from previous relationships.
Following her son's arrival, Cardi reflected on the new chapter in her life through social media. "My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season," she wrote on Instagram. "Starting over is never easy but it's been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world, a new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve."
The couple experienced a split before Super Bowl LX, when the New England Patriots faced the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks ultimately won the championship game. Diggs, who previously played for the Patriots, was released from the team in March.
Sources at the time of the breakup indicated that relationship turbulence was not unusual for the pair. "They are always so up and down," a source stated. "This isn't the first time they have broken up."
Despite their separation, Cardi supported Diggs at the Super Bowl and performed in Bad Bunny's halftime show alongside Karol G, Young Miko, and Jessica Alba. The public display of support hinted at lingering feelings between the two.
Speculation about a potential reconciliation began circulating last month when Diggs was spotted at Cardi's concert in Washington D.C. Video footage shared by his personal trainer Clyde Simmon showed the athlete dancing to Cardi's song "Thotiana Remix," suggesting the former couple remained on friendly terms.
As the relationship moves forward, observers note that Cardi appears to be proceeding with measured caution. The rapper's decision to give Diggs another opportunity while maintaining boundaries reflects a mature approach to navigating the complexities of a high-profile relationship that has already weathered multiple challenges. Whether this reconciliation will prove more lasting than previous attempts remains to be seen, but the couple's recent public appearances suggest a genuine effort to rebuild their connection.
