Pregnancy Announcement and Context
On September 17, 2025, rapper Cardi B announced that she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The announcement was made during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, where Cardi expressed her excitement and empowerment about balancing her music career with impending motherhood. “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” she stated, adding that she feels “happy” and “strong” while managing her professional commitments alongside her pregnancy.
Relationship Background
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs began dating in late 2024, although they only publicly confirmed their relationship in May 2025. Cardi, who shares three children with her estranged husband Offset—Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 1—has navigated a high-profile divorce while embarking on this new chapter with Diggs. The couple's relationship has been characterized by mutual support, with Cardi noting that Diggs makes her feel “safe and confident.”
Due Date and Upcoming Tour
The baby is expected to arrive in February 2026, just before Cardi's “Little Miss Drama” tour kicks off. The tour, which supports her upcoming album "Am I The Drama?", is set to begin on February 11, 2026. Cardi emphasized that her pregnancy will not interfere with her professional plans, stating, “I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”
Official Statements and Responses
In her interview, Cardi B highlighted the importance of timing in her announcement, explaining that she wanted to finalize personal and professional matters before going public. “I just was like, ‘Can I just say it on my own time?’” she remarked. She also addressed the speculation surrounding her pregnancy, which had intensified during her civil trial earlier in the summer, where she was seen wearing outfits that led to rumors about a potential baby bump.
Criticism and Opposition
Despite the positive reception of her announcement, Cardi faced scrutiny during her trial, where a reporter's question about her pregnancy was deemed disrespectful. Cardi responded by throwing a pen in the reporter's direction, illustrating the pressure she felt from public speculation.
