Stefon Diggs is breaking his silence on that viral spat with Cardi B ... and from his point of view, it wasn't much of a fight at all.

The NFL star wideout was asked about the now-viral video showing him and Cardi in a tense exchange outside a Maryland coffee shop ... and he brushed off the drama, insisting the two are doing just fine.

But when asked if he and Cardi are back together, Diggs didn't exactly give a straight answer ... saying, "That's a beautiful talented mother, and I love her to death. You have to ask her."

Damian Lillard's alleged baby mama isn't the homewrecker she's being made out to be ... 'cause TMZ has learned she and the NBA superstar didn't get romantic until AFTER his marriage was already over.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the 9-time NBA All-Star did NOT cheat on his ex-wife, Kay'la Lillard, with Justie Wolf. We're told the two had known each other for years through mutual friends, but their relationship didn't turn romantic until after Damian and Kay'la had separated.

We're also told Justie isn't the type of woman who would knowingly get involved with a married man or help break up a family ... and she would never be okay being a side chick.

Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss have officially buried the hatchet ... because Taylor wants Karlie at her wedding.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Karlie scored an invite to Taylor's wedding to Travis Kelce in New York City on July 3, a major development considering the former BFFs haven't been spotted together in years following their widely rumored fallout.

We're told there were real issues between them, but it's all water under the bridge now ... the pals actually made up quite some time ago ... so, Taylor had no problem adding Karlie to the guest list for the celeb-packed ceremony.

Klay Thompson apparently did Megan Thee Stallion so dirty it sounds like we're getting a banger out of this celebrity breakup.

The rapper teased a new song Tuesday, and it certainly looks like she's about to show her NBA baller ex how badly he fumbled.

In a snippet from a new song, Meg is living it up on a yacht rocking a skimpy bikini, twerking, and partying with her girls as she raps, "All that wifey s*** is dead/ Put that s*** to bed." She continues ... "I'mma make 'em beg/ When I want some head."

Taylor Swift's wedding guest list is slowly coming into focus ... 'cause we've learned Benson Boone has been invited to the big day ... and he's gonna be there!!!

Sources familiar with the guest list tell TMZ ... Benson scored a RSVP to Taylor and Travis Kelce's wedding and is expected to attend .... though it's unclear if he was given a plus one or will bring one.

The timing certainly works ... the wedding is planned for July 3, and Benson's next scheduled performance isn't until July 7 in Pittsburgh, giving him a clear window to celebrate with the bride and groom.

All signs are starting to point away from a potential Taylor Swift wedding in Rhode Island ... because cops in the Ocean State tell us they're not aware of a big event going down at venues linked to Taylor and Travis Kelce.

There's a buzz about Taylor and Travis getting hitched in Rhode Island, in one of 2 places -- Ocean House resort in Westerly or Taylor's estate in the same town -- but cops in Westerly say that's news to them.

Westerly Police Department Chief Paul Gingerella tells TMZ ... neither cops nor the town have been involved with or aware of any weddings involving Taylor and Travis during the dates in question.

For context, the chief says police were involved with Olivia Culpo's wedding a couple of years ago at Ocean House -- so, it makes sense he'd be notified about Travis and Taylor's big day -- but, he tells us his force is not currently involved in any wedding plans or security.

One of the most popular New York Giants in the past decade is returning to where his career began -- Odell Beckham Jr. is rejoining the team for the first time since 2019.

The news broke minutes ago ... with Adam Schefter saying after a visit with his old squad, the team is running it back with the 33-year-old superstar. OBJ also worked out for the Giants earlier this offseason.

The ex-LSU star was the 12th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft ... and went on to have All-Pro seasons in New York before being traded to the Cleveland Browns in March 2019.

Damian Lillard’s ex-wife, Kay'la Lillard, wants to grill a woman she believes may have had a baby with the NBA star ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Kay’La fired off a subpoena asking a woman named Justie Wolf to answer questions about Justie’s child and Damian.

Kay’La wants copies of any communications between the Portland Trail Blazers star and Justie about a child named Aura. She wants Justie to turn over any messages with Damian from when he learned he may be the father of Aura.

Shaun White looks like he's getting back into the dating scene after splitting from Nina Dobrev ... and TMZ has photos of him on a date.

Check out the pics ... Shaun is breaking bread with a mystery woman on a Friday afternoon outing in New York City.

We're told they hit up Kiki's Greek restaurant on the Lower East Side, where they ordered lamb chops and washed them down with soda and a bottle of water.

Days after NY Giants QB Jaxson Dart sparked a full-blown locker room firestorm by introducing President Donald Trump at an event in New York -- and getting publicly side-eyed by Abdul Carter -- the two young stars were spotted embracing at practice!

All eyes were on Jaxson and Abdul at Big Blue's facility in East Rutherford, NJ, for OTAs on Friday -- the first time the players have practiced since the controversy last week -- and there was nary a sign of friction as the men came face-to-face.

Cameras were rolling as the players approached each other, first dapping each other up, and then hugging for several seconds as they shared a private word.

Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards is bringing in a massive 7-figure monthly income ... at least according to new legal docs from his baby mama court battle.

New court docs, obtained by TMZ, show the NBA star pulls in $3,364,911 in gross monthly income, while his ex, Alexandria Desroches, makes around $1,016 per month.

The docs say Anthony is paying around $5,000 a month in child support to Desroches.

President Donald Trump is honoring 4x Stanley Cup champion Claude Lemieux as "one of the fiercest competitors Hockey has ever seen" following his shocking suicide.

47 posted a tribute on Truth Social Thursday evening, celebrating him as a friend to his family and a "tremendous" Trump supporter before raving about his accomplishments in the NHL.

He also directly named Lemieux's son, pro hockey player Brendan Lemieux, and applauded them both as "warriors on the ice."

Felix Rosenqvist won the closest ever Indianapolis 500, edging David Malukas by two-hundredths of a second ... begging the question, are there hard feelings between the champ and his rival driver?!

That's what TMZ Sports asked the 34-year-old this week in NYC, just days removed from the "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing."

"No [bad blood], we had a great chat at the red carpet, at the banquet, and we hugged it out. I could tell he was happy for me," Rosenqvist revealed.

Claude Lemieux, 4x Stanley Cup-winning NHL player, died by suicide, TMZ Sports has learned.

Lemieux -- who was 60 years old -- was found at the family furniture business by his adult son around 3 AM after they became concerned that he hadn't returned home. The 21-year NHL vet was located in a rear warehouse.

Things got a little out of hand during a Florida traffic stop earlier this year ... when a cop pulled a woman over for holding a phone in her right hand.

Here's the thing ... she doesn't actually have one.

ICYMI, Katie -- an adaptive athlete with a limb difference -- got a copy of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputy's bodycam footage, and you've gotta hand it to her ... she has a pretty perfect response.

Tristan Thompson's still dreaming about expanding the family with Khloé Kardashian ... but she shut that idea down real quick!

The basketballer popped up on the "Khloé in Wonder Land" podcast and admitted he doesn’t want any more kids unless they come from her embryos -- even straight-up asking if they should have another baby ... and Khloé instantly hit him with a hard no.

Khloé pointed out they’ve still got embryos frozen -- and Tristan’s got sperm saved too -- but reminded him she’s the one calling the shots since he signed the embryos over to her.
