Cardi B confirmed that she and her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, are expecting their first child together! Weeks after pregnancy rumors circulated, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper made the announcement during a CBS Mornings interview in September 2025. Though the couple have been together for a minute, fans are curious about the man who captured Cardi’s heart after her divorce from ex-husband Offset. So, does Stefon have kids from a previous relationship?
During her conversation with CBS’ Gayle King, Cardi — who had just completed a highly publicized trial and announced an upcoming arena tour — said Stefon “makes [her] feel safe and very confident and very strong.”
“Two weeks ago, I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying, just because I was getting really nervous with the whole album rollout,” Cardi explained. “People were coming at me very hard; you know, sometimes, people love you, people hate you. And people was just saying very mean things about me [sic]. I was like, ‘See, this is why I don’t put music out.’ This is my art and something I put a lot of time to, and it’s just, like sometimes, when people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crushes you. And he was just like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.’”
