How Long Has Stefon Diggs Known His Girlfriend?

While it's unclear how Diggs and his girlfriend met, they are believed to have been an item since 2019 and have been at the center of attention due to their significant age gap. Before her relationship with Diggs, Heckard was engaged to former NBA player Brandon Jennings.

Their romance ended in 2016, a year after they welcomed their son, Duece. On November 5, 2022, Diggs' girlfriend turned to Twitter to share a snap of her "beautiful 7 year old" before sharing another adorable picture of him donning glasses and a beaming smile.

Diggs and Heckard were yet to make their relationship Instagram official at the time of writing. The NFL star had amassed nearly 2 million followers with only three posts on Instagram at the time of publication, and his girlfriend's account was on its way to accumulating one million followers.

However, Heckard has shared snaps of Diggs on Twitter. In September 2022, she posted a short clip of Diggs dancing on the football field while appearing in a gleeful "schmood." A month later, the actress celebrated her "love"'s birthday with a photo of him in his football gear celebrating with his teammates.

It remains unclear if Diggs and Heckard are still together, as they have kept their relationship private for the most part. However, in 2017, Diggs' teammates shared their thoughts about the wide receiver and dating.

During an episode of the football club's series, "96 Questions," they all voted him as the player they would least like to date their sister. Once the news of his teammates' opinions of him traveled back to Diggs, he exclaimed in self-defense, "I'm a great guy!"
