Cardi B is expecting her fourth child and her first with her boyfriend, Patriots All-Pro wideout Stefon Diggs.
The rapper revealed the news Wednesday on “CBS Mornings,” sharing that she feels “excited” and “happy.”
“I am having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi, 32, said when host Gayle King asked the rapper about recent rumors that she’s pregnant.
“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other. We like in the same space in our careers. You know what it is that I feel like we’re really great, we’re really the best at what we do.”
Cardi explained that Diggs makes her feel safe.
“He just makes me feel safe and very confident, and very strong… And it makes you feel like you could take over the world,” she gushed, adding that Diggs is especially supportive of her new album, “Am I the Drama?” releasing Friday.
The Grammy-winning rapper explained that she waited to announce her pregnancy until she was able to “close some deals first.”
“I was like, ‘Can I just say it on my own time?’ I’m not hiding… On my own terms. Let me close some deals first, you know what I’m saying?
“You don’t really want to say right away that you’re pregnant. It’s like, let me see a couple more sonograms. Let my baby be healthy.”
Cardi shared that she hasn’t yet told her parents, joking that she is “very scared of them.”
“They like [Diggs],” she said of her parents. “Everybody kept telling me I should have fun and we had a little too much fun and now I’m here… We’re very excited. We’re really happy about it.”
Cardi said she is due to give birth before her “Little Miss Drama Tour,” which begins in February 2026.
“As soon as I give birth, tour rehearsals start. I don’t come from weak women,” she added.
King said Cardi has been wearing corset tops while out in public promoting her new album.
“I know she was very anxious to share the news,” King said. “… She’s been in public and there has been a lot of speculation about are you [pregnant], or are you not [pregnant] — who’s the father, which she thought was very disrespectful.
“But she’s been wearing a corset, so when you look at her, you think she is, but you aren’t quite sure, but let me tell you the baby bump is really bumping. She was glowing.”
King added that the couple knows the gender of their baby, but they are “not sharing.”
Cardi shares three children with her ex-husband, rapper Offset: daughters Kulture, 7, and Blossom, 12 months, and a 4-year-old son named Wave.
Diggs has a daughter from a previous relationship.
The couple made their relationship Instagram official in June.
