Cardi B revealed that she is pregnant with her fourth child and first with her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. The rapper shared the news in a CBS Mornings interview, expressing joy and highlighting the support she receives from Diggs as she prepares to release her new album. Cardi B has three children with ex-husband Offset, while Diggs has one daughter from a previous relationship.
"Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B announced Wednesday that she is expecting her fourth child, the first one for her and the New England Patriots wide receiver, Stefon Diggs." The statement was made during an interview by Gayle King on CBS Mornings, where Cardi B described the pregnancy as "a moment of happiness" and "a moment of strength."
"In fact, I’m excited. I’m happy," said the 32-year-old rapper. "I feel like I’m in a good space. 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. Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
The rappers responded best when Cardi B stated how much Stefon Diggs has supported her, as the couple are similar in their goals for success. “We’re both very driven, and we’re some of the greatest in our fields,” she said. She had added that Diggs offers emotional reassurances, and that helped her cope with the pressures surrounding the release of her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, set to be released come Friday.
She recalls, "Literally two weeks ago, I had a panic attack; I was crying and crying because I was getting really nervous about the entire album rollout. People were really hard on me. He makes me feel very confident. Feeling safe is feeling confident."
Family History
Cardi B has three children from her first marriage to rapper Offset: a son, Wave, 4, and two daughters, Blossom, 1, and Kulture, 7. Diggs, 31, and his daughter from another relationship, Nova, were born in 2016.
It is less than a year that Cardi B claimed she and Offset were no longer in a relationship. Following their secret wedding in Atlanta in 2017, Cardi and Offset then announced they were engaged to the world. Following a series of public breakups and makeups, Cardi B filed for divorce in 2020, stating the marriage was "irretrievably broken." Cardi B stated in 2024 that her divorce had been finalized.
Career and Personal Life
Cardi B became an overnight sensation with "Bodak Yellow" in 2017 and became the top rung of the world's most successful female rappers. Her second studio album, which is being released this week, only set up expectations and is likely to cement Cardi's role as an active pillar in today's hip-hop.
Representatives for Cardi B and Diggs did not return The Associated Press requests for comment.
There were milestones on the personal front, but the announcement is putting an already extremely professional year by Cardi B into perspective, thereby highlighting her ongoing ability to balance career and building her family.
