The intersection of NFL stardom and celebrity fashion reached new heights when New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs found himself at the center of viral attention following his candid comments about partner Cardi B at the 2025 CFDA Awards.
The Viral Moment That Broke the Internet
A TikTok clip shared by People Magazine captured Stefon Diggs speaking openly about Cardi B's fashion sense, with his remarks instantly spreading across social media platforms. The Patriots receiver declared, "She's one of the most stylish women I know, someone I love to wake up to in the morning," but it was his additional comment that truly set the internet ablaze: "looks good even when she has nothing on."
The blunt nature of Diggs' praise immediately resonated with fans, causing his name to trend across multiple platforms. What made the comment particularly noteworthy was Diggs' reputation as an NFL starter who rarely comments this directly on a partner's style in public settings.
Beyond the Viral Clip: Relationship Milestones and NFL Success
During the same CFDA Awards event, People Magazine reported that Stefon Diggs confirmed the couple is expecting a baby boy, with the delivery expected in early 2026. This adds another layer to their relationship, as Cardi B already has three children with her estranged husband Offset.
The couple's public visibility began earlier in 2025 when they attended a New York Knicks playoff game together. Their relationship gained further attention during the Patriots' Week 10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where Diggs delivered a crucial performance.
In that game against the Buccaneers, Diggs scored a vital touchdown just before halftime on a one-yard throw from quarterback Drake Maye. The receiver demonstrated exceptional skill by dragging his toes to secure the touchdown catch. Cardi B captured the moment from home, posting an enthusiastic reaction video where she exclaimed, "That's what the f—k I'm talking about," while encouraging Patriots fans to "bring the win home."
Football Excellence Meets Celebrity Power
Stefon Diggs finished the Buccaneers game with impressive statistics: five catches for 46 yards and securing the onside kick that closed the game. His performance earned praise from quarterback Drake Maye, who called him a "toe-tap extraordinaire" for his boundary awareness and catching technique.
The trust between Diggs and the Patriots coaching staff was evident when Coach Mike Vrabel decided to trust Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs on the final fourth down of the first half. Vrabel later acknowledged the significance of that decision, stating, "That was a huge, huge play on fourth down. I made a decision to trust our players and they came through."
New England's 28-23 victory over Tampa Bay contributed to their strong 8-2 record, tying them with Indianapolis and Denver in the AFC standings. Diggs has been instrumental in this success, with 50 catches for 554 yards demonstrating his quick adaptation to the Patriots' offensive system.
Cardi B's support has become a consistent feature of Diggs' season, from watching games from her bedroom to appearing in owner Robert Kraft's suite. Their relationship continues to generate weekly viral moments that bridge the NFL and entertainment worlds, with their next anticipated public appearance scheduled for the Patriots' home game against the New York Jets on November 13 at Gillette Stadium.
