Cardi B confirmed what gossip pages have been buzzing about: she’s pregnant — and the father appears to be NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The rapper announced the news on CBS Mornings with Gayle King, capping months of sightings, courtroom whispers and public appearances with her new beau.
Cardi B and boyfriend Stefon Diggs are expecting a baby.The rapper revealed the pregnancy on CBS Mornings during an interview with Gayle King, putting to rest long-running rumors.
This will be Cardi’s fourth child and her first with Stefon Diggs, the NFL wide receiver she began dating in late 2024. The couple first appeared together publicly in May when they sat courtside at a Knicks game.
Rumors about Cardi’s pregnancy ramped up in recent weeks — including moments when she was seen moving carefully down steps during a civil court appearance, holding her stomach, which fueled speculation.
Until now, Cardi had repeatedly denied being pregnant — even famously throwing a pen at someone when questioned about possible paternity drama involving Stefon.
Cardi previously welcomed three children with her estranged husband Offset: daughters Kulture and Blossom, and son Wave. She has not yet finalized her divorce from Offset, and she only gave birth to Blossom last September. Still, TMZ notes she appears ready to move forward with her new relationship.
Offset took a shot at Cardi’s romance in August, suggesting none of his exes have done better since their split — a comment that likely won’t age well given today’s announcement.
For now, Cardi’s expecting with Stefon Diggs, who plays wide receiver for the New England Patriots, and the tabloids are already plotting baby-name lists. Things certainly look like they’re heading “Up” for the couple — and for the newest member of Cardi’s growing family.
