Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs have quietly become one of the most talked-about couples in pop culture. The pair first sparked rumors in late 2024, and by June 2025, Cardi made their relationship Instagram official with a romantic photo taken on a yacht. Their bond deepened quickly when Cardi confirmed in September 2025 that she was pregnant with their first child together (her fourth, his second) and gushed about how Diggs supports her, calling him a stabilizing force amid her high-profile career. Recently, Diggs posted about his past injury and surgery. And Cardi commented supportively. Here’s what she wrote.
Cardi B commented supportively on Stefon Diggs’ surgery Instagram post
In 2024, Stefon Diggs suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during an Oct. 27 game with the Houston Texans, forcing him to miss the remainder of the year, according to NFL.com. After undergoing surgery, Diggs shocked many by returning to full-speed running just five months later. Under the guidance of his rehab team, he regained explosiveness, changed direction cleanly, and impressed teammates with his agility. By March 2025, Diggs himself said he was “ahead of schedule” in his recovery, focusing on daily progress and smart rehabilitation work.
Over a year after his injury, Diggs reflected on the incident via Instagram. He posted a series of photos and clips from his time with the Patriots.
“A year removed from surgery … I remember all the pain and I remember feeling so broken … I took that s*** on the chin and just kept grinding,” he captioned the post. “My faith never wavered God I thank you we still going.”
Cardi B, Diggs’ proud girlfriend, made it known that she supports him through all of his ups and downs. “No luck …. real work and pain,” she commented.
Fans loved seeing Cardi’s loving comment. “A real woman supporting her man,” one fan wrote.
