Stefon Diggs is expecting his first child with rapper Cardi B. 

The "Girls Like You" singer, 32, announced the exciting news in a Wednesday interview with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings."

This will be the second child for the New England Patriots wide receiver, 31, who already shares an 8-year-old daughter, Nova, with his ex. Cardi B is already a mom to three children - daughters Kulture and Blossom and son Wave - whom she shares with her estranged ex, Offset. 

The Grammy winner told the outlet she's "happy" and "excited" while preparing to put out next music and become a mom for the fourth time. 

"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," Cardi said.

The rapper says the NFL player is a great sounding board for her, as he makes her feel very safe. She recalled a heartfelt time earlier in their relationship when Diggs said to her, "Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you."

He's also great at calming her down when she needs it. 

"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," Cardi recalled. "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."

Diggs was first linked to the Grammy winner in October 2024, although they didn't make their first public appearance together until May when they sat courtside at a New York Knicks game together.
