How Much Older Is Cardi B Than Patriots Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs?
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs, who had been romantically linked since 2024 and made their relationship Instagram official on June 1, 2025, are expecting their first child together.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper confirmed rumors that she was pregnant with the NFL star’s baby during an interview with CBS Mornings, saying: “Now ya’ll know. Now ya can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told ya. Now go support my album because I’m a mother of four now.”
Cardi has three other children—Kulture, Blossom, and Wave—with Migos member Offset, while Diggs has one daughter, Nova, with singer and YouTuber Tyler Marie.
Now, fans of the couple want to know even more about them, including how much older the “WAP” artist is than the athlete.
Cardi B and Diggs’ age difference
Stefon Diggs was born to parents Stephanie and Aron Diggs in Gaithersburg, Maryland, on Nov. 29, 1993. He has a brother, Trevon, who also plays in the league as a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. In 2008, their father died of congestive heart failure in a hospital while on the waiting list for a heart transplant.
When it came time to attend college, despite receiving scholarships from Florida, USC, Ohio State, and Auburn, the wideout chose to stay close to home to be near his mother and sibling, so he committed to the University of Maryland.
Cardi B was born in New York City to parents Carlos and Clara on Oct. 11, 1992. That makes her just one year and one month older than the football player. She has a younger sister named Hennessy Carolina. Cardi’s real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar. She got her stage name from the nickname she used to have growing up as people would call her “Bacardi” like the rum brand, something that may have had to do with her sister being named after a liquor as well.
The hip-hop star was raised in the Highbridge neighborhood of the South Bronx, but she also spent a lot of time during her childhood at her paternal grandmother’s home in Washington Heights.
Many fans have been curious about her and Diggs’ age difference because before Cardi, he dated a woman much older than him.
Diggs previously dated a woman several years older than him
Before Cardi, Diggs was in a relationship with another woman who’s also in the entertainment industry.
He dated Lashontae “Tae” Heckard for a while. She was born in Seoul, South Korea, on April 14th, 1978, making her 15 years older than him.
Back in 2014, Heckard was with former NBA player Brandon Jennings. They had one son together and became engaged before calling it quits in 2016.
Heckard is an actress, having starred in a music video for Flipmode Squad, Busta Rhymes, and Mariah Carey’s tune “I Know What You Want” in 2013. She was also in Dru Hill’s video for the song “I Love You.” In addition, Heckard appeared on the big and small screen in films including ATL and Getting Even, and the TV show The Game.
