Cardi B didn’t hide her joy after the New England Patriots secured a gritty 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.
As the final whistle blew, the Grammy-winning rapper was seen celebrating alongside her boyfriend, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, marking one of the most emotional nights of his NFL career and one of the most public displays of support from Cardi B yet.
The singer captured the moment on video, shouting, “We’re going to the Super Bowl! Let’s go!” before sharing a hug and a quick smooch with Diggs as snow continued to fall at Empower Field at Mile High.
The clip, later reposted by the Patriots’ official account, quickly went viral online and gave fans a rare, personal look at the couple following the biggest win of the season.

Cardi B Celebrates Patriots’ AFC Championship Win
Sunday’s victory sent New England to Super Bowl LX, and while the game itself was dominated by defense, the emotions afterward were impossible to miss. Diggs, who finished with five catches for 17 yards in tough, snowy conditions, was seen tearing up on the field as the Patriots clinched their spot in the Super Bowl for the 12th time in franchise history.

For Diggs, the moment was years in the making. After watching the Kansas City Chiefs celebrate an AFC title over his Buffalo Bills in 2021, the veteran wide receiver finally had his own chance to celebrate a Super Bowl berth. Speaking after the game, Diggs admitted the season had been a difficult one, both physically and emotionally.
“I’m just so proud of this team,” Diggs said in a postgame interview. “You don’t know how hard this year has been battling the injury and coming back.”
“They were calling me washed. Saying I didn’t have it anymore. I just wanted to prove to myself I am who I say I am.”
“This team took a chance on me. I just wanted to make them proud.”

Cardi B’s presence made the night even more special. The rapper has attended several Patriots games this season, but Sunday’s AFC Championship carried extra weight. The couple, who publicly confirmed their relationship in June 2025, welcomed their first child together in November.
The Patriots’ win came in a low-scoring battle where offense was hard to find. New England managed just 206 total yards, with quarterback Drake Maye throwing for 86 yards. Still, it was enough, as the defense held Denver to 181 yards and forced key stops late in the game.
Earlier in the playoffs, Cardi B had also shown her support from afar, cheering loudly as the Patriots defeated the Houston Texans to advance to the AFC Championship.
Diggs’ road to the Super Bowl has not been easy. After suffering a torn ACL during his time with the Houston Texans, many questioned whether he could return to elite form. The Patriots took a chance on him last March, signing him to a three-year deal, and Sunday’s win validated that decision.
Now, with Super Bowl LX ahead, Cardi B and Diggs will have one more chance to share the spotlight. The Patriots will face the winner of the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, with a chance to secure the franchise’s seventh Super Bowl title.
