Recent social media posts claiming that veteran NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs is dating reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul have been debunked as false. The posts, which went viral on X, featured a doctored photo of Diggs and were shared by a parody account, not a credible news source. Diggs was previously in a public relationship with rapper Cardi B, but they split up after the 2026 Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Paul was set to star as the Bachelorette this year before her show was pulled due to a resurfaced domestic violence incident involving her ex-boyfriend.

Why it matters

The details

The photo used in the post was a real image of Diggs from 2023 that had been digitally edited to make it appear he was walking with Paul. No credible reports have surfaced to confirm the two are actually dating.
