Cardi B has confirmed that she is pregnant with her fourth child – her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
The Up rapper has sparked intense speculation over her relationship with the NFL star, 31, in recent weeks, but kept tight-lipped over the scrutiny.
Sitting down for an interview with Gayle King, the 32-year-old – who shares three children with estranged husband Offset – officially announced her baby news for the first time.
After the host touched on the rumors, she replied: ‘Well, yes. I am. I’m having a baby with my boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
‘I’m excited, I’m happy. 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.
‘Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.’
While she didn’t share too many details on their baby joy, Cardi revealed that she was due to give birth before her upcoming Little Miss Drama tour kicks off in February.
Discussing why she kept quiet about her upcoming arrival for so long, she begged: ‘Can I just say it on my own time? I’m not hiding.
‘On my own terms, let me close some deals first. 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.’
However, she confessed that, at the time of filming the interview, her parents were still in the dark – and insisted that she would be informing them before her sit-down with Gayle went live.

In true Cardi form, the Grammy-winner also took the opportunity to plug her album after sharing her baby news, pushing fans to buy her record so that she could pick up some nappies.
Never change.
The musician, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, was first linked to New England Patriots’ Stefon at the end of last year – following her split from Migos rapper Offset.
In February, the pair were spotted enjoying a night out in Miami on Valentine’s Day, and were later seen getting very cozy at Coachella in April.

They made their couple debut in style in May, packing on the PDA while sitting courtside at a Knicks game.
Earlier this month, the mom-to-be opened up about how difficult it was to date someone else in the spotlight following her long-term romance with Offset.
‘It was very tough, but it is what it is,’ she told Billboard. ‘It’s tough hiding. It’s tough dating in your 30s, too, but I like him. I love him, today.
‘I was always scared of dating people [because] I’ve always been in a long relationship since I was 21.’

This marks Cardi’s fourth child, as she shares Kulture, Wave and Blossom with her former partner.
They first started dating in 2017 and quietly got married in September of that year.
She then announced her first pregnancy during an appearance on SNL in April 2018, and gave birth to their first child months later – before the pair briefly split in December.
They reunited and introduced son Wave in 2021, but caused confusion when they revealed their third child was on the way last year –after going their separate ways.
Although their divorce is yet to be finalized, the former couple have both completely moved on – Offset later shared that he was ‘happy’ that Cardi had found love with someone else.
