Cardi B, Stefon Diggs share photos of newborn in Patriots gear
Rapper Cardi B announced the birth of her child with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs on Instagram, posting a photo of herself holding a baby and including the date November 4 with three emojis: a teddy bear, a heart and a football.
The couple did not reveal the baby’s name.
In the photo, the baby is swaddled in a blue Patriots-themed blanket printed with the name “Diggs.” The baby also wears a blue hat printed with footballs and “Diggs.”
Cardi B attended the Patriots’ 24-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 2, sitting in owner Robert Kraft’s private box. The home crowd erupted in joy when the video board showed her imitating Diggs’ celebration by holding her left hand to her face and extending her right hand in front of her and waving it.
According to Cardi B’s Instagram post, the baby was born two days after that visit to Gillette Stadium.
Diggs, 31, leads the Patriots with 59 receptions for 659 yards and three touchdowns.
He speaks regularly with reporters on Wednesdays and after games, but noted that he prefers not to discuss his personal life.
On Monday, Diggs hosted a “Game Day of Giving” event at Gillette Stadium, welcoming families to the field-level team lounge for what he billed as “winter support and holiday cheer.” More than 100 guests were served dinner and given warm-up kits including coats, hats, gloves and other essentials during an event that included a disc jockey playing music, face painting, crafts and more.
The Patriots had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off after playing last Thursday, and Diggs was asked how he was spending his time.
“I saw my son. I saw some of my children. It’s important to me,” he told reporters Monday evening.
