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.
AJ McLean is a friend Britney Spears can lean on during her tough time amid ongoing legal woes after her DUI arrest.
The Backstreet Boys member, 48, spoke in support of Spears during the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026, as he revealed that they are also neighbours.
“We see each other every so often,” McLean said, adding, “live in the same neighborhood in the same area.”
The singer, who was nominated for the favourite onscreen category at the awards, noted that he “always just give[s] her a hug and check[s] on her” whenever he runs into the pop icon, in conversation with Page Six.
The Everybody hitmaker also added that he wishes “her the best,” without mentioning the arrest. When asked if he has spoken to her recently, he told the outlet that he hasn’t.
This comes after Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California earlier this month after she as caught swerving and speeding allegedly under the influence.
She was later released in the morning and her manager Cade Hudson released an official statement saying her actions were “inexcusable.”
While the Toxic songstress has not addressed the situation herself, an insider spilled that she is devastated and scared beyond measure for what the consequences would be.
Britney Spears is right now trying really hard to get her life back on track after her recent shocking DUI arrest earlier this month.
The singer, 44, stayed away from alcohol for more than three weeks and is now regularly attending AA meetings in Los Angeles.
According to a source, Britney has been very open during these sessions, “Britney has been very open and honest in her AA meetings, she has said she loves pouring her heart out as she knows that is the best way to heal and feel better,” the insider shared.
They also added that she is being careful and focused on things which matters, saying: “The only thing she has indulged in is fancy coffee drinks. She is being super careful because she wants to be there for her kids.”
Britney is said to be spending time with her two sons more now, Sean Preston and Jayden James, who have been close to her in recent weeks.
Their presence, however, meant a lot to the music icon as she works through this phase.
The Toxic singer’s arrest happened on March 3 and she is expected to appear in court on May 4.
Britney’s team already said that she wants to take the right steps and move forward in a better way.
Liza Morales, Lamar Odom’s high school sweetheart, finally spoke out about the moment she found out that her ex got married to the reality star Khloé Kardashian.
“It was shocking. I couldn’t escape it,” Morales told PEOPLE.
She opened up just days before Netflix releases Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, a documentary about the basketball star’s life, fame, struggles and relationships.
A big part of the film looks back on his early romance with Morales.
The couple met in high school and Odom proposed to her when they were just 20 and they delayed marriage but went on to have three children together.
But tragedy happened in 2006 when their six-month-old son Jayden died from sudden terrifying syndrome.
The loss, however, left a heavy effect on their relationship and slowly, they went their separate ways.
The fashion designer went on to add that she was blindsided when Odom’s relationship with Khloé Kardashian became public in 2009.
“It was a text message and then a phone call from Lamar, ‘By the way, I’m getting married,’” she recalled.
“Then it was everywhere. It wasn’t just that he got married—it was how it happened. It was rushed, and it hurt.”
Still, Morales shared that she and Odom have reached to a better place now. “It took years. I had to work on myself and heal.”
