Among the flurry of celebrities in attendance at the Celtics-Knicks game on Monday night, Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs and artist Cardi B made their presence known.

This was the first appearance for the two at an event together since dating rumors, reported by E! News, began in October 2024. The pair have gone to the same events, but arrived separately. One example was the Met Gala, where the two did not interact on the red carpet and did not get any pictures together.

The Grammy-winner and new wide receiver for the Patriots entered the game holding hands, according to People.com, and sat together courtside next to Mary J. Blige. Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Timothée Chalamet were a few seats down. 

Diggs signed with the Patriots on March 25 after playing for the Houston Texans the 2024 season, where his time on the field was cut short due to an ACL injury. The wide receiver and the Pats reached a 3-year deal for $69 million.
