In an appearance on CBS Mornings, the rapper revealed that she’s expecting her fourth child, marking her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. In her characteristic style, Cardi shared the news with humor and authenticity, emanating the vibrant energy that resonates with mothers everywhere.
“I’m actually very excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space,” she told Gayle King. “I feel very strong, I feel very powerful—that I’m doing all this work, while I’m creating a baby.”
This balance is something many mothers can relate to: the beautiful chaos of pursuing dreams while their bodies embark on life’s most significant task.
A new chapter of motherhood
Cardi is already the mother of three children—Kulture, 7, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 1—from her estranged marriage to Offset. As she prepares for the arrival of her fourth child, she is welcoming a new phase of family life.
She even joked about the practical implications: “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff… I’m a mother of four now.”
On her own terms
Cardi explained her reason for waiting to publicly announce her pregnancy: “You don’t really want to say right away that you’re pregnant. Let me see a couple more sonograms, let my baby be healthy. … Can I just say it on my own time? Like I’m not hiding—it’s just on my own terms.”
This sentiment resonates with many mothers, who understand the vulnerability of those initial weeks and the significance of sharing news at the right moment.
Finding love and support
Since officially confirming her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs in June, Cardi has expressed how secure and supported she feels. “We’re very supportive of each other. We’re like in the same space in our careers,” she shared.
She acknowledged that Diggs assists her during times of doubt: “Two weeks ago I was literally having a panic attack… he makes me feel very confident. I feel like feeling safe is feeling confident, feeling like you could do it. And it makes you feel like you could take over the world.”
Balancing dreams and family
Cardi’s announcement comes just a day after she revealed her North American arena tour for her upcoming album Am I The Drama?. With her baby expected before the tour begins in 2026, she is gearing up for one of her busiest periods.
“Even when I’m pregnant, I’m very ready,” she stated. “I’m getting my body ready… so as soon as I give birth, tour rehearsal starts. I don’t come from weak women.”
This serves as a testament that ambition and motherhood can coexist harmoniously. For many mothers, this message is particularly resonant.
