Cardi B reveals she’s expecting baby with Stefon Diggs, reflects on falling in love again in “CBS Mornings” interview
Cardi B is expecting her fourth child, the rapper exclusively announced Wednesday on “CBS Mornings.”
The Grammy winner revealed she is having a baby with her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, confirming weeks of speculation about her personal life. She said the baby is due before the start of her first arena tour, “Little Miss Drama,” which begins in February.
The 32-year-old said she feels “excited” and “happy,” while preparing to release new music and balancing motherhood.
“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. 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,” she said.
Cardi B said she and Diggs share the same ambition, each determined to be “the greatest” in their fields. She also credited Diggs with giving her a sense of stability as she readies her next album, “Am I The Drama?,” which includes a track called “Safe.”
“And he just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” she said. “I mean, like, two weeks ago I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying, just because I was just getting really nervous with you know, the whole album rollout … 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.”
She admitted harsh criticism sometimes makes her question releasing music.
“And I’m like, see, this is why I don’t put music out, because it’s like, this is my art and this is something that I put a lotta love and time to. And it’s just like, sometimes, when people just rip it apart it just hurts you and it crushes you,” she said.
Through it all, Cardi B — whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar — said Diggs’ support keeps her steady.
“He makes me feel very confident. And it makes you feel like you could take over the world.”
She added that she waited to announce the pregnancy until she was able to “close some deals first.” She also admitted she has not yet told her parents, jokingly saying she is “scared of them.”
Cardi B, who shares three children with rapper Offset, said she was reluctant to fall in love again amid their high-profile divorce. But she recalled Diggs telling her: “Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you.”
Now that pregnancy rumors are confirmed, Cardi B used her world-famous humor to ask fans to purchase her new album: “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told you. Now go support my album, cause I’m a mother of four now.”
Cardi B says her sophomore album feels “complete.”
“I feel like it touch every little thing that I want to touch. And I just feel like it’s something that is not out there right now.”
“Am I The Drama?” is scheduled to be released on Sept. 19. Watch more of King’s interview with Cardi B where the rapper gets candid about her recent trial, and her viral on-the-street album promotion on “CBS Mornings” on Thursday, Sept. 18 at 7 a.m. ET.

Meghan Markle shares delightful family update amid rift with dad Thomas
Meghan Markle tuned out the noise of critics firmly to mark special celebration as she shared a delightful family update.
The Duchess of Sussex, mum to seven-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet, took a trip to Disneyland, in what appeared to be Mother’s Day celebrations.
The Sussex family was also joined by Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland for the occasion as well. On Monday night, Meghan shared a carousel of highlights from her day.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were seen enjoying themselves as they met with their favourite Disney characters. King Charles’s youngest granddaughter particularly shared a heartwarming hug with Cinderella during the outing.
Meanwhile, in her Instagram Stories, Doria was warmly greeted by Mickey Mouse much to Meghan’s amusement.
According to a source cited by People Magazine, the family was celebrating the children’s birthday together.
“The kids did lots of rides, and it was a special way to extend Mother’s Day for Meghan and her mom,” they said.
Archie turned seven last week, whereas Lilibet will be turning four next month.
The news comes just days after it was revealed that Meghan’s father Thomas Markle has returned to the US to continue with his medical care. He is expected to receive a prosthetic leg following his life-saving leg amputation in Philippines.
There is speculation over whether Meghan would meet her father, but sources and royal experts are of the view that the father-daughter reunion is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Pete Davidson takes jab at Lizzo over weight loss
Pete Davidson took a playful swipe at Lizzo’s recent weight loss during The Roast of Kevin Hart, which premiered on Netflix on 10 May.
Taking to the podium, the former Saturday Night Live star joked to the audience, “What’s left of Lizzo is here,” before comparing her transformation to Eddie Murphy’s characters in The Nutty Professor.
“Either that or Eddie Murphy just premiered the newest Klump. Hercules! Hercules!” he quipped.
Lizzo, who was in the audience, appeared to take the jab in good spirits, laughing along and clapping at the reference.
The 38-year-old singer has been open about her changing appearance, revealing on the Just Trish podcast in June 2025 that she briefly experimented with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic.
She admitted that while the injections worked by making her feel full, she eventually decided to move away from them in favour of “mind over matter” and a significant shift in her diet.
Lizzo explained that she actually found it harder to stay full when she was a vegan, as she relied heavily on bread, rice, and processed fake meats.
Her new approach focuses on whole foods, including beef, chicken, and fish, which she says has helped her feel more satisfied without “expanding” her stomach with artificial ingredients.
By cutting out “fake sugar and weird stuff,” the About Damn Time hitmaker has managed to maintain her thinner frame naturally.
Despite the physical change, Lizzo has been quick to defend her status as a body-positive icon, insisting that the movement isn’t about staying the same size forever.
Speaking to Women’s Health last summer, she described body positivity as the “radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly” regardless of what society expects.
She maintains that her commitment to exercise is primarily for her mental well-being, calling a workout the ultimate mood enhancer.
While she might look different these days, Lizzo’s message remains one of self-love and existing on her own terms, even if that means being the center of a joke at a celebrity roast.
