Rapper Cardi B has revealed that she is expecting a child with her boyfriend, NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, confirming weeks of speculation about her personal life.
The Grammy-winning artist, born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, confirmed the news in an interview with CBS, saying she is both “excited” and “happy” about the pregnancy. The 32-year-old star added that she and Diggs have been supportive of each other during this new chapter.
“I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby,” Cardi B said. “My man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
A New Chapter
Cardi B and Diggs, 31, made their relationship public earlier this year. The announcement comes less than a year after Cardi B’s separation from her estranged husband, fellow rapper Offset. The two share three children together: Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 1.
Diggs, a star wide receiver in the NFL, also has an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Balancing Motherhood and Music
The pregnancy news arrives as Cardi B prepares to release her highly anticipated album, Am I the Drama, this Friday. She described the period as both empowering and overwhelming, admitting that the pressure of balancing a major album rollout with her personal life has brought moments of anxiety.
Still, the Bronx-born rapper stressed that she feels strong and motivated, determined to continue thriving in both her career and family life.
Looking Ahead
Fans have already begun celebrating the announcement on social media, with many expressing excitement for the couple while also anticipating Cardi B’s new album. The rapper’s openness about her journey into motherhood again adds a personal dimension to her public persona, which has long blended vulnerability with bold self-expression.
As Cardi B enters this new phase with Stefon Diggs by her side, the couple’s growing family marks another milestone in the rapper’s headline-making career — one she insists will not slow her down.
