Announcement of Expecting a Child
On September 17, 2025, rapper Cardi B confirmed during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings that she and her boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs, are expecting their first child together. Cardi expressed her happiness, stating, “I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby,” emphasizing the support she receives from Diggs.
Background of the Relationship
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs began dating publicly in May 2025, shortly after they were seen together at a Knicks playoff game. However, the relationship has been overshadowed by ongoing legal issues. Diggs is currently involved in a paternity lawsuit with model Aileen Lopera, also known as Lord Giselle, who claims he is the father of her five-month-old daughter, Charliee. Lopera filed a petition in December 2024 to establish paternity, which Diggs has contested, requesting genetic testing to confirm the child's parentage.
Complications and Legal Disputes
The timeline of events has raised eyebrows. Lopera's child was born in April 2025, and just a month later, Diggs was spotted leaving a New York medical facility with a baby carrier, leading to speculation about his personal life. Despite the legal challenges, Diggs has publicly expressed excitement about his relationship with Cardi and their upcoming child, even hinting at wanting a baby boy.
Official Statements and Responses
In response to questions about his personal life, Diggs has been cryptic, stating, “I won’t talk too much about my personal life, but I heard about it,” when asked about the pregnancy rumors. Cardi B, on the other hand, has been more open, sharing her feelings of empowerment and support from Diggs during her album promotion.
Criticism and Public Reaction
Despite the couple's apparent happiness, public reaction has been mixed. Some fans expressed disappointment over Cardi's pregnancy, questioning her decision to have children with different partners. Concerns were also raised about the implications of Diggs' ongoing paternity dispute with Lopera, which complicates the narrative surrounding their relationship.
