NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs has confirmed that he and rapper Cardi B are expecting a baby boy together. While attending the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards, he told People magazine, “It’s a boy. That’s enough for me. I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”
Diggs also shared with Extra that the due date is imminent, saying, “It’s supposed to happen real soon, so wish us both luck.” This will be his first child with Cardi B, and she in turn announced earlier this year that she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Diggs. In an interview on CBS Mornings, she said she felt strong and powerful as she balanced her music work and motherhood.
Their relationship began in earnest in late 2024 and was publicly confirmed in mid-2025, after which speculation about their impending arrival intensified. In sharing the news of the baby’s gender, Diggs conveyed his enthusiasm for the father-and-son journey ahead, expressing the kind of athletic-driven bonding he envisions. Cardi B meanwhile appears poised to integrate her expanding family into her busy creative and performance schedule.
For Cardi, who already has three children with her former husband Offset, the forthcoming birth marks both a new chapter and a continuation of her rapidly evolving personal life. Diggs, father of a daughter from a previous relationship, also enters this next phase with a fresh sense of expectation and excitement. The couple seem aligned both in their ambition and the timing of this milestone.
As the arrival draws near, fans are watching how this new dynamic will play out in the public eye. Diggs’ athletic mindset and Cardi’s fame in music create a unique pairing, and the baby boy will be the first child they bring into their shared spotlight. With Diggs openly anticipating the playful, physical side of fatherhood and Cardi embracing her evolving role, the stage is set for a significant chapter in both their lives.
