During Game 4 of the Knicks-Celtics playoff series at Madison Square Garden, Cardi B and NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs were seen holding hands courtside, confirming growing speculation about their relationship. The Knicks staged a strong comeback win, defeating the Celtics 121-113 and taking a 3-1 series lead, while the rumored couple made a public appearance among a crowd of celebrities.
TV cameras captured Cardi and Diggs arriving together, adding to a celebrity-packed evening that included Timothée Chalamet, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, Tracy Morgan, Mary J. Blige, and others in attendance. The moment follows a string of recent sightings of the two together, including at Coachella and on Valentine’s Day.
The night before the game, Cardi B hosted a private Mother’s Day dinner for her mother, Clara Almánzar, at Sei Less in New York City. She was joined by her sister Hennessy and her children Kulture, Wave, and her infant daughter. Guests dined on shrimp satay and lobster dishes in a private room decorated with balloons and roses. Knicks alumni JR Smith, Latrell Sprewell, and Larry Johnson were also seen dining at the restaurant.
While Cardi has yet to speak directly about the relationship, her ex-partner Offset reacted to the developments online, writing “I’m happy for her” in response to fans commenting on the situation.
Separately, Cardi B recently addressed criticism of her Met Gala afterparty photos, calling out a social media user who shared edited images of her appearance. The rapper responded by defending her look and calling attention to the altered post.
