Cardi B Announces Pregnancy!

Cardi B dropped a major bombshell Wednesday morning during her live interview on CBS Mornings. The rapper revealed that she is expecting a baby with her boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs.

This will be her fourth child, but her first with Diggs, who plays as a wide receiver for the New England Patriots.

She appeared calm, collected and excited as she sat down with Gayle King to talk about this new chapter in her life. Cardi shared that she feels empowered during this pregnancy and grateful to have the support of her partner. 

“I feel like I am in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I am doing all this work,” she said. “But I am doing all this work while I am creating a baby. Me and my man, we are very supportive of each other.”

The couple’s relationship has been kept mostly private since rumours first began circulating in late 2024. Diggs has one daughter from a previous relationship, and Cardi is already the mother of three children with her former husband, rapper Offset.

Cardi filed for divorce in 2024 which caused a lot of controversy and back and forth between her and her former husband but it appears she has been moving forward ever since.

She spoke lovingly about how Diggs entered her life at a time when she needed healing. She recalled one moment in particular that stood out to her in which Diggs told the ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker to give him a chance to heal her. Cardi said that message touched her heart. 

“He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” she added.

Even though the rumours have been flying for weeks, Cardi kept quiet until now. She said part of the reason was because she had some important business moves to handle before making the pregnancy public. 

“I was working to close some deals first,” she explained.

What made her confession even more surprising is that she still has not told her own parents. “I have not even told my parents. I am scared of them,” she admitted with a laugh.

Her big announcement also comes just hours before the release of her highly anticipated second album titled ‘Am I the Drama’. The new project follows her 2018 debut album ‘Invasion of Privacy’, which earned her major success and a Grammy Award. Fans have been waiting for a new full-length project for years, and Cardi is finally ready to deliver.

However, according to the Grammy winner, it has not been easy. She opened up about the stress and anxiety she has been facing behind the scenes. 

“I mean, like, two weeks ago, I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying, just because I was just getting really nervous with, you know, the whole album rollout,” she said. “People were coming at me very hard. You know, sometimes people love you, people hate you. And people was just saying very mean things about me.”

Despite the negativity, she said Diggs has been a source of strength throughout. “He makes me feel very confident. And it makes you feel like you could take over the world,” she said with a smile.

Now that the pregnancy is out in the open, Cardi is encouraging her fans to show love and support in the best way they can. “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff,” she joked. “I told you. Now go support my album, cause I am a mother of four now.”
