For Cardi, forming a new relationship with Stefon after her divorce from Offset required her to be “open and vulnerable.”

“One time he just told me like, ‘Let me heal you,'” she continued on CBS Mornings. “‘Give me a chance for me to heal you.'”

And while Stefon plays offense, he’s quick to come to Cardi’s defense. Like when he supported her ahead of her album release.

“When people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crush you,” she added. “He’s like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.’ He makes me feel very confident. I feel like feeling safe is feeling confident. Feeling like you can do it, and it makes you feel like you can take over the world.”

Of course, the support goes both ways as Cardi noted she’s become a football fan.

“I be in the screen on Sunday, every day, cursing people out,” she said on a September 2025 episode of Today. “‘Pass the ball!'”
