NFL's Cardi B and Stefon Diggs Spark Romance Rumors With Valentine's Day Date.
Cardi B kicked off her Valentine's Day holiday with a night out with Stefon Diggs.
The "WAP" rapper was photographed in Miami with the Houston Texans winger on Feb. 14, four months after romance rumors first broke.
Cardi, 32, wore a sparkly silver crop top and matching skirt while the NFL player, 31, sported a red jacket and matching cap, as seen in a video posted by TMZ on Feb. 16, which the outlet reported showed the pair arriving at a hotel in the city.
E! News reached out to Cardi and Stefon's reps for comment but has yet to receive a response.
The couple first sparked romance rumors on social media in October. During an Instagram Live that month, Cardi called the speculation "crazy." Then, earlier this month, the two were spotted together at a nightclub in New York City, TMZ reported.
Cardi and Stefon's latest date night comes six months after she filed for divorce from Offset, her husband of seven years, in August, shortly before announcing she was pregnant with their third child. Their daughter, whose name has not been released, was born in September.
Stefon is also a father — he's the father of daughter Nova, 8, who he's taken to his NFL games multiple times.
Cardi filed for divorce more than seven months after she confirmed that she and Offset, who also share daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 6, and son Wave Set Cephus, 3, had separated.
Two weeks after the birth of their youngest daughter, the Migos rapper commented on one of her Instagram Lives to accuse her of cheating on him. She later wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “AND DID!!!!!!” but did not provide further explanation.
The tension between the two seemed to ease by the end of the year. In December, Cardi and Offset reunited at his 33rd birthday party in Miami. She also gave a new perspective on the couple’s relationship after filing for divorce.
“For the past three months, it’s been drama, it’s been arguments, it’s been crazy,” she said on the X Spaces live radio show. “But this week, it’s been eight days with no drama, no bullshit, it’s gotten to a point where everybody’s healthy.”
However, the feud erupted again a few days later when Cardi tweeted that her estranged husband would finalize the divorce in response to him saying she was focused on the wrong things.
Over the New Year's holiday, Offset was spotted out and about with a woman — identified by TMZ as model Melanie Jaydal — in Dubai.
Also in January, Cardi shared on social media that she was "taking a little break" from her dating life and didn't want any "distractions" that month.
"This January is a very important month for me," she said during an Instagram Live. "Every day and every hour counts and I can't be distracted emotionally. January is very, very, very, very important and I have a mission to accomplish and if I don't accomplish this mission, it will ruin the schedule for this year."
Cardi said she felt “tested,” but it didn’t bother her. “I’m a very emotional person,” she added, “and when I get emotional, I don’t do things with love, and you can hear that in my music.”
A look back at Cardi and Offset’s past relationships…
On September 20, 2017, the couple secretly got married at home, just months into their relationship. “We found someone to marry, and she did, just the two of us and my cousin,” Cardi revealed to fans months later. “I said yes, no dress, no makeup, no ring!”
A month after their wedding, unbeknownst to fans at the time, Offset got down on one knee at a sold-out show and proposed to his bride with an 8-carat sparkler.

April 2018: Baby on board
Six months later, Cardi appeared on the SNL stage to announce she was expecting her first child with Offset.
The couple celebrated the baby with a fairytale baby shower that summer.
"It was a special moment for Offset and Cardi, and you could see there was a lot of love between them and in that room," a source previously told E! News. "They were both so excited about the baby coming and were counting down the days."
Cardi and Offset's daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, was born on July 10, 2018, joining his children Jordan, Kody, and Kalea from previous relationships. And the "Bodak Yellow" artist said the Migos members picked the baby's name.
"My dude named the baby," Cardi told Ellen DeGeneres at the time. "I really like the name. I'm gonna let him say the name because he named the baby. Like, almost hard but when it's said, it's like, 'Ahh!'"
It seemed like the couple's love knew no bounds as they appeared on the red carpet at the 2018 American Music Awards.
The pair brought the Jingle Ball stage to life with a passionate kiss.
"Thank you, man. He's awesome," Cardi told the crowd. "That's my baby daddy, yo."
But just days later, Cardi announced they had split after rumors of Offset's infidelity hit the internet.
"I guess we fell out of love, but we're not together anymore," she explained on social media. "I don't know. It may take time to get a divorce and I will always have a lot of love for him because he is the father of my daughter."
