Is Stefon Diggs dating Taylor Frankie Paul? Debunking social media posts involving NFL WR, canceled Bachelorette star

In the age of AI, you always have to be careful about what you see online. 

A picture of former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs and the star of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," Taylor Frankie Paul, with the caption that they were spotted together in Provo. 

Diggs was publicly in a relationship with rapper Cardi B, with whom he had a kid, but their relationship fizzled after the 2026 Super Bowl. Paul had been in the news recently because she was chosen to be "The Bachelorette" this year, but her show was pulled from airing just three days before its premiere because of a domestic violence video involving her ex-boyfriend that had resurfaced. 

Here we debunk the rumors that Diggs is dating Paul.

Is Stefon Diggs dating Taylor Frankie Paul?

If Diggs and Paul are indeed in a relationship, it is a secret. The most popular post on social media about the supposed relationship was from "Football Crave." The post has been seen 1.4 million times on X, but the account's own description reads "Craving Football culture| parody." Along with being in the age of AI, we are also in the age where people can make parody accounts on X and pass off posts as real, and the only way to know they are fake is if you check the account's bio. 

Posts about the two being an item began in late March, but no substantiated claims have been made that they are actually together. The picture in Football Crave's viral fake post was a real photo of Diggs that was photoshopped. The real picture is from 2023, where Diggs was walking in Paris for a photoshoot. The photoshopped picture turned Diggs to make it look like he was walking in front of the camera, and also embellished his shoes.

Who is Taylor Frankie Paul?

Paul is one of the stars of the hit reality TV show "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." She is one of the show's main focal points and a founder of "Mom Tok,” a group of Mormon wives and mothers who have TikTok channels that started out talking about what it was like being Mormon. With the show's rise in popularity, they stick to trends on the app and have made several appearances on other TV shows, like when Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck were on "Dancing With the Stars" last fall. 

Paul was scheduled to be this spring's "Bachelorette" and had filmed the entirety of her season. Three days before it was supposed to begin airing, a video resurfaced on social media from 2023 showing her in a domestic dispute with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota. Paul was seen throwing a chair near her child at Dakota, and given how bad it looked, ABC decided not to air her season at all.

What happened to Stefon Diggs and Cardi B

Diggs and Cardi B were first linked toward the end of 2024. Their relationship went public in May 2025, and they had a son together in November 2025. Diggs and Cardi B dated for more than a year, but their relationship came to an end in 2026 after the Super Bowl. 

There were rumors that Diggs may have had a proposal in mind if the Patriots had beaten the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. However, Cardi B reportedly left the event early, and rumors circulated that Diggs had another woman sitting in his family section, though that was never officially confirmed. A few weeks later, Cardi B made a dig at Diggs on X, and it became pretty clear they were no longer together.
