Cardi B Expecting Fourth Child, First with NFL Star Stefon Diggs
The “I Like It” Rapper Revealed Her Pregnancy on CBS Mornings, Sharing Joy and Her Journey to Expand Her Blended Family.
New York, NY — Global music sensation Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, 32, is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with NFL player boyfriend Stefon Diggs. The Grammy-winning rapper made the highly anticipated announcement during a candid interview on CBS Mornings with Gayle King on Wednesday, September 17. The new addition is expected to arrive before Cardi B’s upcoming tour kicks off in February.
Following the revelation, the “I Like It” artist took to X (formerly Twitter) on the same day, sharing a beaming selfie alongside Diggs. The photo, though dimly lit, captured the couple smiling together, with Cardi B affectionately wrapping an arm around the Buffalo Bills wide receiver. She simply captioned the post with a single red heart emoji, an understated confirmation that quickly resonated with her millions of followers.
This new chapter will expand an already vibrant blended family. Cardi B is mother to daughter Kulture Kiari, 7, son Wave Set, 4, and daughter Blossom Belle, who she welcomed in September 2024, all from her estranged marriage to rapper Offset. Diggs also shares an 8-year-old daughter named Nova from a previous relationship.
The relationship between the chart-topping rapper and the football star has steadily blossomed since they were first romantically linked in October 2024. Their first public appearance together as a couple captivated fans in May 2025, when they were spotted courtside at a thrilling Boston Celtics and New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. This followed months of attending the same high-profile events, though arriving separately, fueling widespread speculation. After her highly publicized split from Offset, Diggs reportedly offered words of comfort, telling Cardi B, “Let me heal you.”
Explaining her decision to keep the pregnancy under wraps until the CBS Mornings interview, Cardi B told Gayle King that it was a deliberate choice to announce the news on her “own time, on my own terms.” She cited a desire to “close some deals first” and, more importantly, to ensure the health and well-being of her unborn child. “Let me see a couple of more sonograms. Let my baby be healthy,” she confided, outlining her cautious approach.
In a surprisingly candid moment during the pre-taped interview, Cardi B admitted that she had yet to inform her own parents about the pregnancy. “They just be looking at me,” she shared, revealing her apprehension. “I’m very scared of my parents!” she added with a laugh, highlighting a relatable aspect of her larger-than-life persona.
The news marks a significant personal milestone for both stars, as they prepare to welcome their first child together into their growing family.
