Cardi B’s Boyfriend Stefon Diggs Reacts to Pregnancy News

by

Stefon Diggs is ready to be the MVP of fatherhood.

Following Cardi B’s announcement that they are expecting a child, the New England Patriots wide receiver expressed his joy about becoming a father.

On the rapper’s Instagram post about her tour, Stefon commented about their upcoming baby, saying he was hoping for a boy and praising his girlfriend for remaining dedicated to her work.

Offset, age 31, already has a daughter, Nova, who is 8 years old, from a previous relationship. Cardi B shares three children with him: Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, who is 12 months old. They are currently separated.

Following speculation about a possible pregnancy, Cardi B confirmed she’s expecting while talking about juggling motherhood and her new album.

Singer Jhené Aiko is expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. She shared the news with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, explaining that she’s due before her ‘Little Miss Drama’ tour begins in February. Aiko said she’s been working hard on her tour while also preparing for the baby’s arrival.

Cardi B, 32, felt good about being pregnant while balancing her tour and new album, *Am I The Drama?*, which comes out on September 19th, largely because of her connection with Stefon.

She explained that he makes her feel secure and incredibly self-assured, adding that being with him gives you a sense of limitless possibility.

However, Cardi did suggest the pregnancy might have caught both her and Stefon slightly off guard.

I was told to enjoy myself, and maybe we enjoyed it a little *too* much,” she admitted with a smile. “But we’re really excited and happy to be here now.

The artist known for “WAP” hinted at her new relationship in December 2024, only five months after starting the process of divorcing Offset.

Cardi and Stefon made their relationship official in May with a date at a New York Knicks game. Since then, Cardi hasn’t been able to stop talking about how much she loves him.

It’s hard being in the public eye, and dating in your thirties is challenging too, but I really like him – I’m in love with him, right now,” she shared with *Billboard* in a September 3rd interview. “I’ve always been hesitant to date because I’ve been in long-term relationships since I was around 21.”

Fans were already aware of Cardi B’s love for Balenciaga shoes when, in October 2024, rumors started circulating about a possible romance with NFL player Stefon Diggs. These rumors gained traction after the pair were seen together on Valentine’s Day 2025.

Cardi hasn’t shared the details of how they met, but she has said she was immediately attracted to him. “I thought he was cute,” she explained on an episode of *Today* in September 2025, adding that they connected through friends. “I knew I wanted to get to know him.”

Instead of trying to downplay the buzz, the Grammy-winning musician and the athlete seemed happy to fuel speculation when they were seen together at an after-party following the 2025 Met Gala in May.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs publicly confirmed their relationship later that month when they went to a basketball game between the Celtics and Knicks in New York City.

It’s hard to keep a low profile, and dating in your thirties is challenging, but I really like him – I’m in love with him right now,” Cardi B told Billboard in September 2025. “I’ve always been hesitant to date because I’ve been in long-term relationships since I was about 21.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs appeared to be enjoying a fantastic Memorial Day weekend together on a yacht in Miami.

In June 2025, the actor known for “Money” and their football player partner publicly confirmed their relationship by sharing it on Instagram, followed by a romantic trip to Paris.

Rumors of a breakup between Cardi and Stefon started circulating after their initial public announcement of their relationship on Instagram was taken down in July 2025. However, Cardi quickly reassured fans that things were fine by sharing a video of a Patek Philippe watch Stefon had gifted her. In an August 2025 TikTok, she explained, “My boyfriend got it for me at London Jewelers. I went to meet him there thinking he was buying himself a watch, but he surprised me with one for me!”

Rumors started circulating weeks later that Cardi B might be expecting another child. When someone directly asked her about the baby’s father, she was visibly upset and quickly shut down the question. In September 2025, while leaving a courthouse in Los Angeles after winning a high-profile case, she told the person who asked, “That’s disrespectful. Don’t do that.” She then pointed out the double standard, asking why women aren’t typically asked such personal questions and reminding the person to show respect, stating, “Your mama taught you: Respect women.” Cardi already shares three children – Kulture, Wave, and Blossom – with her ex, Offset.

Cardi B confirmed later that month she’s expecting a baby with Stefon. This will be their first child together, but Cardi is already a mother of three and Stefon has one daughter, Nova, from a previous relationship.

Speaking on CBS Mornings in September 2025, Cardi joked, “Everyone told me to have fun, and we had a little *too* much fun! Now here I am.” She and Stefon shared their excitement about the new arrival.

Addressing the pregnancy rumors, Cardi playfully urged fans to support her new album, *Am I the Drama*? saying, “Now you all can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers! I told you! Now go support my album because I’m a mom of four now.”

Cardi B has found a new connection with Stefon after her divorce, and she says it required her to be truly open and let herself be vulnerable. He offered to support her emotional healing, telling her he wanted to ‘heal’ her. Stefon isn’t just supportive, he also defends her – for example, he was there for her before her new album came out.

Cardi explained that negative criticism really affects her, but Stefon helps her regain her confidence. She feels safe with him, and that safety empowers her to feel like she can achieve anything. The support clearly goes both ways, as Cardi has even become a football fan, enthusiastically cheering (and sometimes scolding!) during games.
