Global music icon Cardi B has officially confirmed she’s pregnant with her fourth child, her first with current boyfriend Stefon Diggs, the wide receiver for the New England Patriots. The Bronx-born rapper shared the exciting news in a candid sit-down with journalist Gayle King, aired on CBS Mornings.
This announcement comes at a pivotal time in Cardi’s life, both professionally and personally. While she prepares to release her long-awaited second studio album Am I The Drama?, she is also embracing a new chapter of motherhood with confidence.
Opening up about the journey, Cardi spoke from a place of emotional clarity and empowerment.
“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,” she shared with Gayle.

Cardi also emphasized the importance of her relationship with Diggs, noting that their mutual support has been key in managing both her creative grind and personal growth. She described her partner as someone who makes her feel “safe, confident, and grounded.”
Cardi’s pregnancy news comes amid an intense period of work. She’s gearing up for a massive 2026 Little Miss Dramatour and heavily promoting her new album. Yet despite the pressures, she’s fully committed to both her career and her growing family.
Already a mother to three children with ex-husband Offset — daughter Kulture, son Wave, and daughter Blossom — Cardi is no stranger to juggling parenthood with fame. However, this pregnancy marks her first while in a relationship with Stefon Diggs, and she made it clear that this experience feels refreshingly different.
Interestingly, Cardi kept her pregnancy under wraps for a while — not even informing her parents before the public announcement. She explained that the timing was deliberate, ensuring she had finalized work commitments and felt confident enough to go public.
This calculated move is a reflection of her growing maturity and awareness of how public scrutiny can impact such personal milestones.
