Despite all the gossip swirling around alleged side-pieces and children on the way (or recently delivered), the only baby that truly matters to the public when it comes to Stefon Diggs is the one he just welcomed with rap superstar and international celebrity Cardi B. While Diggs put on a stellar performance—hauling in nine catches for 105 yards and helping lead the New England Patriots to a 27–14 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football—his main focus off the field was one thing: the arrival of his son with Cardi B.

Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Welcome Baby Boy

In a Nov. 13 Instagram post, the Bronx-born rap diva, aged 33, revealed that she and the 31-year-old Pro Bowl receiver have now become parents. (Source: Newsweek). In her caption, Cardi wrote:

“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season…” (Source: Economic Times)
She continued:
“…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.” She added: “This next chapter is Me vs. Me! It’s me against all odds… me against everything meant to get in my way.” (Source: People) 

A Relationship Full of Background Noise and Drama

The path to this new chapter has been anything but quiet. Cardi’s relationship with Diggs emerges in the midst of shockwaves, social-media hype and noise from all sides, including her estranged husband Offset—who remains in the process of sorting out how much money he’s entitled to in their divorce proceedings.

In addition, the paternity tests have confirmed that Diggs is the proud father of IG model Aileen Lopera’s baby, so Number 8 is certainly having quite the season both on and off the field. (Source: Newsweek) 

Cardi’s relationship with the NFL wide-receiver blossomed in the wake of her final breakup with Offset, shortly after she gave birth to their third child (Kulture, Blossom, and son Wave). Rumours circulated that Cardi had engaged in romantic flings with a well-known football player who also had a reputation as a playboy—and Diggs emerged as that guy. (Source: People)

With an injury that ended his 2024-25 season prematurely, Diggs had time to invest in romance and that rebound turned out to be more than a fling. The couple made their public debut together just as the baby’s arrival was imminent: Cardi attended a Patriots game, sat in the owner’s suite, cheered Diggs on, and afterwards they appeared on the field together and did an interview.

Cardi B Living the “American Dream”

There are many opinions about Cardi B—her celebrity lifestyle, her choices in men, her resilience—but one thing that can’t be disputed is that she is an embodiment of the “American Dream.” Born in New York’s Bronx borough, she rose from challenging conditions to become a worldwide superstar who crafts her own life on her own terms. She doesn’t wait for anyone’s permission. She clearly takes what she wants, tackles the punches and works feverishly to prove that fairy-tale lives are possible for her family and her children.

She’s faced every adversary—both personal and professional. She’s battled other top female rap stars lyrically and physically, held her own for over a decade, survived lawsuits, court cases, public breakups and makeups, social-media outbursts, and yet she continues to expose her vulnerabilities while retaining dignity. Cardi has proven to be one of a kind. Clearly Diggs saw something in her. Between them something clicked. Maybe they simply enjoyed each other’s company, and then business and life merged. Whether Diggs fathers 1000 kids or not, Cardi is not intimidated—and she appears content with her choice of father for her new baby. Who can knock that kind of hustle, resilience and grind?

Fans React to the Announcement

Some fans tried throwing shade after Cardi revealed her new body, looking “snatched” and ready for work, just days after giving birth. Comments ranged widely:

• “Her 4th child, his 4th child this year,” referencing rumours surrounding multiple children announced around the same time.

• A critic tweeted: “Cardi’s ‘baby factory’ drops #4—first with Stefon Diggs—while divorce papers collect dust? Offset’s mess + paternity-suing models = perfect storm. Clap for chaos or call it reckless? She’s already plotting #5. Enablers, stand up. #CardiOverload.”

• Another joked: “She probably already pregnant again lmfao.”

• One netizen wrote: “Y’all congratulate the others too.”

• One sarcastic comment predicted: “Next child will be from Michael Jordan, or she might try wrestling world for her 5th.”

• A more cautionary fan advised: “Congratulations to them both—this needs to be her last; she’s going to have a football team.”

From Studio to Stroller: Cardi Turns Water Into Wine

In September, Cardi released her second album, Am I the Drama?, and revealed plans for a major 2026 tour. She initially confirmed her relationship with Diggs in a PDA-filled Instagram post back in June. (Source: Vogue)

In the same month, Cardi opened up about her pregnancy and relationship with Diggs on CBS Mornings with host Gayle King:

“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work,” Cardi told King. “But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.” (Source: AP)

Cardi does it her way—and she’ll likely continue to feed the social-media mosh-pit. It seems everything she touches turns to gold; she has the entire machine in a choke-hold.
