Cardi also shared the news on Instagram in the caption of a video where she lip-synchs “Hello,” from her recently released sophomore studio album Am I the Drama?.

“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons,” Cardi wrote. “My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”

I’ve learned i’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman i’ve become! That’s what this next era means to me and i’m stepping into it better than ever.”

Diggs, 31, revealed the sex of the baby to PEOPLE on a red carpet earlier this month.

“It’s a boy. That’s enough for me,” he said. “I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”

The Grammy-winning artist rapper shares three children – Kulture, Wave and Blossom — with her estranged husband, rapper Offset. She filed for divorce from him in July 2024, four years after her first filing in 2020, though it is yet to be finalized.

As for Diggs, he is already father to daughters Nova and Charliee.

The “I Like It” rapper confirmed in an interview on CBS Mornings that aired on Sept. 17 that she was pregnant with her fourth child.

“I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi B told anchor Gayle King in a pre-taped interview.

Responding to King’s messages of congratulations, Cardi — born Belcalis Almánzar — expressed her thanks and shared, “I’m excited.”

“I’m happy,” she said. “I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work — but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”

During her appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Cardi B opened up about raising her children to be “better than me.” The newly minted mom of four said that she doesn’t want her kids to be perfect, but she wants them to be a “100 times better version” of her.

“It’s discipline. It’s gotta be in you, and you have to be better than me. I want you to be better than me,” she said. “There’s things that I cannot do that I want my kids to do.”

“I want you to be smarter than me,” she added. “I want you to be — not perfect because you cannot make your kids perfect and you don’t want you to put pressure on your kids [to be] perfect — but I want you to be a 100 times better version than me, and I’m gonna [instill] that in you and you’re gonna be mad and you’re gonna be crying, but you’re gonna appreciate that one day because I wish the things that that I put on my kids that somebody put in me when I was younger.”

Cardi B and Diggs have been linked since October 2024. In May 2025, the pair made their first public appearance together at a Boston Celtics and New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, after months of attending the same events, but arriving separately.

Until that moment, Cardi had dodged the relationship rumors. She avoided similar speculation about her pregnancy — something she explained to King on CBS Mornings was a deliberate choices.

“I just was like, ‘Can I just say it on my own time?’ Like, I’m not hiding,” Cardi said. “On my time, on my own terms. Let me close some deals first, you know what I’m saying? Let me close some deals first. And it’s like, you don’t really want to say right way that you’re pregnant. It’s like, ‘Let me see a couple of more sonograms. Let my baby be healthy.’ “

In fact, Cardi admitted to King that, as of the interview’s taping, she hadn’t yet told her parents though planned to before it aired. “They just be looking at me,” she said, noting that she was reluctant to tell them because she’s scared of them. “I’m very scared of my parents!”

That has nothing to do with their feelings towards Diggs. “They like him, they do like him,” she said.

“By the way, now that I talked about it, y’all better get my album,” she said, addressing the audience. “Y’all wanted to know, right? Now you know. Now y’all can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told y’all, now go support my album ’cause I’m a mother of four now!” “
