Cardi B Announces Birth of Her Fourth Child
Rapper Cardi B has officially welcomed her fourth child — and first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots wide receiver.
The 33-year-old hitmaker confirmed the joyful news on Instagram on Thursday, posting a short video of herself dressed head-to-toe in black with the caption celebrating “the next era” of her life.
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. Starting over is never easy, but it’s been so worth it,” Cardi wrote.
“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 so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”
Sources told TMZ the rapper gave birth last week to a healthy baby boy, with Diggs present for the delivery.
Mother of Four, New Chapter in Her Life
This marks Cardi B’s first child with Diggs and her fourth overall. She already shares three children — Kulture (7), Wave (4), and Blossom (1) — with her ex-husband, rapper Offset.
The Bodak Yellow artist reflected on the balance between motherhood, artistry, and self-reinvention in her announcement post. She called this new period “Me vs. Me,” signaling both personal growth and creative renewal.
“It’s me against all odds, me against everything meant to get in my way,” she added. “There’s nothing that’s gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a lifetime.”
The rapper revealed she’s already preparing for her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour, which kicks off February 11, 2026, in Palm Desert, California.
Supportive Partner in Stefon Diggs
In previous interviews, Cardi B praised Diggs for his steady support. The pair began dating in late 2024 and publicly debuted their relationship at a Knicks game in New York City last spring.
“Me and my man are very supportive of each other. He just makes me feel safe, confident, and strong,” Cardi said on CBS Mornings earlier this year.
Stefon Diggs, 29, is entering his first season with the New England Patriots following a major three-year contract reportedly worth $69 million. He is also the father of an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
In September, Diggs told People that the couple were expecting a boy, joking:
“It’s a boy. That’s enough for me — I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and run around.”
Paternity Drama Surrounding Stefon Diggs
News of the baby’s arrival comes amid headlines involving Diggs and a recent paternity case.
Earlier this month, a paternity test confirmed that Diggs fathered a baby girl with Instagram model Aileen Lopera, known online as Lord Gisselle.
According to court filings obtained by Daily Mail, Lopera gave birth to a baby girl named Charliee in April 2025 and had sought to establish paternity last December.
After the results came in, Lopera’s attorney Tamar Arminak stated:
“Now that the child’s paternity has been established and Mr. Diggs has acknowledged his daughter, my client hopes they can work together for the child’s best interests.”
Despite the revelation, sources close to Cardi B say the rapper remains focused on her newborn and upcoming tour.
Cardi B’s Next Era: New Music and Self-Reinvention
The baby’s birth caps off a transformative year for Cardi B. In September, she released her highly anticipated album Am I The Drama?, earning critical praise for its mix of confidence and vulnerability.
“I’ve learned, I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become. That’s what this next era means to me,” she wrote on Instagram.
Her fans celebrated the news online with messages of love and support, making “Welcome Baby Cardi” trend worldwide on X within hours of the announcement.
Cardi also shared a glimpse of her new life as a mom of four by posting a short Instagram story showing a pink floral-themed baby stroller and writing, “I love girly things @cybex_global.”
What’s Next for Cardi B and Stefon Diggs
The couple have not yet revealed their son’s name or shared photos, but fans expect an official reveal before Cardi B’s tour begins next year.
Between new music, a new baby, and a high-profile relationship in the spotlight, the rapper’s next era appears to be a celebration of renewal, family, and artistic momentum.
“Starting over is never easy,” she said. “But it’s always worth it.”
