Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs have officially welcomed their first child together, a baby boy born in early November 2025. The Grammy-winning rapper confirmed the happy news on Instagram on November 13, sharing an uplifting message about new beginnings as she embraces motherhood for the fourth time.
Cardi confirmed her pregnancy on September 17, 2025, during an appearance on CBS Mornings with Gayle King. “Well yes, I am. I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. I’m excited. I’m happy,” she said, explaining the timing with her trademark honesty. “Everybody kept telling me I should have fun, and we had a little bit of too much fun and now I’m here. We’re very excited. We’re very happy.”
The birth comes at an exciting yet demanding time for both parents. Cardi’s preparing to launch her first-ever arena tour in February 2026 – Little Miss Drama Tour, while Stefon continues his impressive season with the New England Patriots. It’s a lot to juggle, but the couple seems ready to tackle parenthood together.
The Birth Announcement
Cardi took to Instagram on November 13 to share the news with her millions of followers, though sources confirm the baby actually arrived about a week earlier, sometime between November 6 and 12. She didn’t share any photos of the newborn, keeping things surprisingly private compared to previous births. Instead, she posted a video of herself strutting confidently down a white hallway, dressed in all black and lip-syncing to her own track.
Her caption nods to the transformative year she’s had. “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,” she wrote.
TMZ confirmed that Stefon was present at the hospital when their son was born, showing up to support Cardi during the delivery. However, the exact birth date and hospital location remain under wraps.
What About The Baby’s Name?
Here’s where fans will need to practice patience. The baby’s name hasn’t been revealed yet, and if Cardi’s track record is anything to go by, we might be waiting a while. She took seven months to announce her son Wave’s name after his birth in 2021, and her daughter Blossom’s name wasn’t confirmed until months after she arrived in September 2024. One source mentioned that the couple used the nickname “Baby Brim,” but nothing has been officially confirmed.
Stefon hasn’t made any public statements or social media posts about the birth as of November 14. He’s kept quiet on his personal accounts, maintaining the low-key approach he’s adopted throughout their relationship. Before the birth, though, he did express excitement about having a son, telling People Magazine at the November 3 CFDA Fashion Awards, “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.”
This is Cardi’s fourth child overall. She shares three children with her ex-husband, Offset: a seven-year-old daughter, Kulture, a three-year-old son, Wave, and a 13-month-old daughter, Blossom. For Stefon, this is his second child. He has a nine-year-old daughter named Nova from a previous relationship. The new baby represents Cardi’s first child outside her seven-year marriage to Offset, which ended when she filed for divorce in July 2024.
Quick Recap of Their Romance
The relationship between Cardi and Stefon moved remarkably fast, going from rumours to reality in less than a year. Dating speculation first began in October 2024, when fans allegedly spotted them together at a New York City nightclub. Cardi initially brushed off the rumours during an Instagram Live, calling them “insane” and “f—king crazy.”
Things heated up on Valentine’s Day 2025 when TMZ captured footage of the pair arriving at a Miami hotel together in the early hours of the morning. By April, Stefon was hinting he wasn’t single anymore during an Instagram Q&A, whilst Cardi opened up on X Spaces about dating someone “gorgeous” who made her feel incredible.
Their official debut as a couple took place on May 12, 2025, at an NBA playoff game between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The courtside PDA was impossible to miss. Cameras caught Cardi lovingly squeezing Stefon’s face, and when the Jumbotron focused on them, the moment went viral. They were officially one of 2025’s hottest new celebrity couples.
The relationship went Instagram official on June 1, 2025, when both posted photos from a Memorial Day yacht outing in Miami. Cardi’s carousel included intimate shots of them snuggling on the boat, videos of her grinding against him, and images of lavish gifts: teddy bears, diamonds, and massive bouquets of red roses. “Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six,” she captioned the post, signalling her readiness to move forward after her marriage ended.
In June, Stefon rented France’s historic Château de Farcheville castle for a vacation. Cardi couldn’t contain her excitement on Instagram Stories, marvelling at the real castle complete with crocodiles in the moat.
There was a brief hiccup in July when Cardi deleted all photos of Stefon from her Instagram, sparking immediate speculation about a breakup. But she quickly shut down the rumours in August by posting a TikTok showing off a £73,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus watch from “my boo boo.” She later admitted on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she’s “very dramatic” and sometimes makes mountains out of molehills.
