In a deeply personal announcement that has captured the attention of both the music and sports worlds, Grammy-winning artist Cardi B revealed on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, that she is pregnant with her fourth child, and it will be her first with boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
The “I Like It” rapper shared the momentous news during a pre-taped interview with Gayle King on “CBS Mornings,” confirming weeks of growing speculation about her personal life.
“Well yes, I am having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi B stated proudly, her voice filled with emotion. She described her feelings as “excited,” “happy,” and emphasized a sense of strength and power as she navigates this new chapter. “I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby,” she told King, highlighting the supportive nature of her relationship with Diggs.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is already a mother to three children from her previous marriage to rapper Offset: daughters Kulture, 8, and Blossom, 1, and son Wave, 4. This upcoming child will mark her first with Diggs, adding a new dimension to her growing family.
A Blossoming Relationship
The journey to this announcement has been a visible one for the couple. Rumors of a romance between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs first surfaced in October 2024, shortly after Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset for the second time in July 2024. Their relationship began to gain traction with sightings at various events, and they made their first public appearance together courtside at a New York Knicks game in May 2025. The couple later went Instagram official, solidifying their romance for fans.
Cardi B spoke candidly about her feelings for Diggs, noting that he makes her feel “safe” and “very confident.” She shared an anecdote about experiencing a panic attack related to her album rollout, and how Diggs’ support helped her through it. “He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” she explained, emphasizing their shared ambition and drive.
Balancing Career and Family
The pregnancy announcement arrives at a pivotal moment for Cardi B’s career. Her highly anticipated sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?,” is set to be released on September 19, 2025, just two days after her pregnancy reveal. Furthermore, she recently announced her first-ever arena tour, “Little Miss Drama,” scheduled to kick off in February 2026.
Cardi B expressed her determination to balance her demanding career in the hip hop music industry with her growing family. “As soon as I give birth, tour rehearsals start,” she noted, indicating her commitment to both her music and motherhood. She humorously urged fans to support her album to help fund necessities for her growing family, stating, “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff.”
A New Chapter
This significant life event marks a new chapter for both Cardi B and Stefon Diggs. Diggs, a prominent NFL player, has also found himself in the wider public eye through his relationship with the global music superstar. The couple’s shared ambition and supportive dynamic were evident in Cardi B’s “CBS Mornings” interview. “We’re really great and one of the best at what we do. And me and him think the same way. It’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re one of the greatest, but what’s next? What we doing again? Do it again,'” she elaborated.
Cardi B’s announcement serves as a heartwarming piece of personal news amidst the constant stream of entertainment and sports news. As she prepares to welcome her fourth child, her fans eagerly await her new album and upcoming tour, all while celebrating this joyous personal milestone. The integration of her burgeoning family life with her powerful presence in the music industry continues to define Cardi B’s unique trajectory.
