As the New England Patriots prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX this Sunday, one of their star players has made it clear where his priorities lie. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who is in a high-profile relationship with pop sensation Cardi B, has revealed that his immediate focus is on securing a Vince Lombardi title, not a wedding ring.
Super Bowl Takes Precedence Over Proposal Plans
During Super Bowl LX opening night media events, Diggs was directly questioned about whether he would be shopping for an engagement ring for Cardi B if he emerges victorious from Sunday's championship clash. The 32-year-old athlete responded with a laugh after a brief hesitation, stating: "It's on the agenda, maybe. Right? I gotta get mine first, though."
This candid admission underscores the singular focus that professional athletes maintain during championship moments, with personal milestones temporarily taking a backseat to career-defining opportunities.
Relationship Timeline and Family Expansion
Diggs and Cardi B have been romantically linked since December 2024, going "Instagram official" with their relationship in June of the following year. Their partnership has since evolved significantly, with the couple welcoming a baby boy named Grayson in November.
Cardi B publicly confirmed her pregnancy during an appearance on CBS Mornings, expressing her excitement about expanding their family. "I'm having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs," she announced. "I feel like I'm in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I'm doing all this work while I'm creating a baby, and me and my man, we're very supportive of each other."
Opposition and Championship Context
The Patriots will face formidable opposition in the form of the Seattle Seahawks, who secured their Super Bowl berth through an impressive postseason run. Under coach Mike MacDonald, the Seahawks posted a remarkable 14-3 record in the NFC West before defeating both the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round and the LA Rams in the Conference Championships.
This year's championship game will be held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, providing the backdrop for what promises to be an electrifying contest between two determined franchises.
Diggs' Impressive Career Trajectory
The Maryland alumni has enjoyed a distinguished NFL career since being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2015 draft. After four seasons in Minnesota, Diggs moved to the Buffalo Bills where he earned First and Second-team All-Pro honours and secured four Pro Bowl selections.
His 2020 season was particularly noteworthy, as he led the entire NFL in both receptions and receiving yards. Following a season with the Houston Texans in 2024, Diggs joined the New England Patriots in 2025 where he has continued to excel.
Current Season Performance
During the 2025 regular season, Diggs demonstrated his value to the Patriots by appearing in all 17 games. His statistical contributions were substantial, with 85 receptions covering 1,013 yards and resulting in four receiving touchdowns. This consistent performance has been instrumental in the Patriots' journey to Super Bowl LX.
As Sunday's championship approaches, Diggs will be hoping to maintain his fine form and contribute to what would be his first Vince Lombardi title victory, temporarily setting aside personal matters in pursuit of professional glory.
