Cardi B has announced she is expecting a baby with her boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs. This will be her fourth child and the first one she will share with Diggs.
The announcement came during an interview on CBS Mornings. Cardi B said she feels happy, strong, and supported by her partner. She explained she has been working on her new music, preparing for tour dates, and doing “all this work” while also expecting. She said Diggs makes her feel safe and confident, especially during moments when pressure and criticism get difficult.
Cardi B also shared she waited to make the news public until she was comfortable, saying she wanted to “close some deals first.” She said she did not want to share before she felt the pregnancy was healthy. Interestingly, she hadn’t yet told her parents at the time of the interview, though she planned to.
The baby is due before her next tour begins in February 2026. Cardi B’s new album, Am I The Drama?, is coming out very soon, and she noted that Diggs has been a source of support throughout that process.
Cardi already has three children — Kulture, Wave, and Blossom — from her previous marriage. Diggs is also a father to a daughter from a past relationship.
Fans and media alike have reacted with excitement to the news. Many have praised the couple for their openness about blending family and career. Others are eager to see how Cardi balances her music, public life, and motherhood this time.
The announcement comes at a busy time in her career. With the album release, tour planning, and now expanding her family, Cardi B says she is in a “good space” and ready for this next chapter.
