Cardi B and Stefon Diggs Locked in a “Hood Marriage” While She’s Still Legally Tied to Offset
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs are redefining what a relationship looks like, and people all over social media are calling it a full blown “hood marriage.” The pair welcomed their new baby this month, and now insiders say they’re treating each other like husband and wife in every way except legally.
The twist? Cardi is still officially married to Offset.
Stefon Calls Her His Wife… Publicly
Stefon Diggs recently slipped up in an interview and casually referred to Cardi as “my wife.” It wasn’t a joke. It wasn’t a metaphor. He said it straight-faced like it was the most natural thing in the world.
And honestly, this is not new for the couple. Stefon reportedly calls her his wife in private and public conversations, acting like the legal paperwork is just a formality.
Cardi Does the Same Thing
Cardi B is fully leaning into it. She calls Stefon her “husband” on the regular. Friends say the couple already acts like they’re married. They live together when schedules allow, raise their newborn together, make joint decisions, and even refer to themselves as a family unit.
One insider told Media Take Out that the two “see themselves as married spiritually, even if the courts say something different.”
Why They Can’t Make It Official Yet
The main barrier is simple. Cardi is still legally married to Offset, despite the divorce battle brewing behind the scenes. Until a judge signs off on that split, she can’t marry anyone else.
But Cardi and Stefon are not letting that stop them from playing house.
“They’re doing marriage their way,” a source said. “Papers or no papers, they consider each other locked in.”
Fans Weigh In on the “Hood Marriage”
Social media users have already come up with a name for this arrangement. They’re calling it a “hood marriage,” the kind of commitment that doesn’t require lawyers, a courthouse, or a pastor — just love, loyalty, and vibes.
Whether people support it or think it’s messy, one thing is clear: Cardi and Stefon are treating each other like they’re already hitched.
And from the way they talk about each other, the real legal marriage might not be too far behind once Cardi’s divorce from Offset is finalized.
