Celebrity relationships often unfold in public, where even a small social media change can spark rumors.
On February 9, 2026, fans noticed that Cardi B and Stefon Diggs had unfollowed each other on Instagram. This happened just a day after the New England Patriots lost 13-29 to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.
The move quickly fueled speculation about a breakup. With a young child and what seemed like a strong relationship, many are now wondering what happened and if this is really the end.
Cardi B (born Belcalis Almánzar) and Stefon Diggs were first rumored to be dating in October 2024, after her divorce from Offset. They confirmed their relationship in May 2025 by appearing together at a New York Knicks playoff game. The next month, Cardi posted romantic yacht photos on Instagram, making their relationship public despite ongoing drama from her past.
The couple seemed strong, with Cardi cheering Diggs on during the Patriots’ playoff run and celebrating their AFC Championship win in January 2026 with posts like “We’re Going to the Super Bowl!”
Their public story reached a high point when they welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on November 4, 2025. The baby’s name has not been shared. Diggs, who already has children from previous relationships, seemed ready for this new chapter.
During Super Bowl Opening Night on February 3, 2026, he was asked if Cardi would get an engagement ring after he won a Super Bowl ring. He joked, “It’s on the agenda, maybe, right? I gotta get mine first, though.” This suggested he was thinking about a future together as the Patriots got ready for the big game.

At the Fanatics pregame party, an ESPN reporter asked her for an inspiring message for Diggs. She simply said “good luck” and walked away, which was less supportive than fans expected.
During the game at Levi’s Stadium, Cardi performed with Bad Bunny at halftime, dancing with stars like Pedro Pascal, Karol G, and Jessica Alba in a Puerto Rican-themed set to “Yo Perreo Sola.” After her performance, she reportedly left the stadium and posted Instagram Stories of herself singing in a car while the game was still going.
The Patriots’ loss made things even more tense. A few hours later, on February 9, fans noticed that Cardi and Diggs had unfollowed each other on Instagram, with some notifications showing it happened around 4:24 P.M. In the world of celebrities, this kind of move usually means something is wrong, or a breakup has happened.
Rumors spread quickly, with some people claiming that Diggs had invited another woman, possibly related to one of his children, to the game in a prominent seat, which may have caused jealousy or conflict.

The source added that Cardi is focusing on her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour, her family, and taking time to reflect. Neither Cardi B nor Diggs has made a public statement, and Cardi’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment.
This is not the first time outside pressures have challenged their relationship. In late 2025, Diggs was accused of assault and strangulation at his Massachusetts home, charges he has denied. His court date is set for February 13, 2026. The couple got through that situation in public, but the mix of a Super Bowl loss, parenting, work, and constant attention may have been overwhelming.
For now, the unfollow is a sign of a split, but public relationships are rarely simple. Since they share a child, getting back together is still possible. Cardi is known for her resilience, turning challenges into hit songs, and Diggs has shown he can stay focused on football despite distractions.
Whether this is the end or just a break, it shows how fragile even famous relationships can be under the spotlight of social media.
As fans wait for an official update, the story keeps developing, with many checking Instagram to see what happens next.
