Cardi B Opens Up About Keeping Her Latest Pregnancy Private

Cardi B, the dynamic force behind hits like “Am I the Drama,” is pulling back the curtain on her decision to keep her most recent pregnancy under wraps for a period. In a candid, pre-recorded chat with Gayle King for CBS Mornings, the beloved artist revealed that she is expecting her fourth child, her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. This news comes as Cardi B continues to navigate her career and family life, already sharing daughters Blossom and Kulture, and son Wave with rapper Offset.

The Rhythm of Privacy

The 32-year-old artist recently sat down with Gayle King for an exclusive interview where she touched upon her upcoming tour, her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs, and the exciting arrival of another little one. Amidst these personal revelations, Cardi B elaborated on why she chose to hold off on announcing the news of baby number four, her first with the 31-year-old professional football player.

“I just was like, ‘Can I just say it on my own time?’ Like, I’m not hiding,” Cardi B explained to King. “On my time, on my own terms. Let me close some deals first, you know what I’m saying? Let me close some deals first.” She further elaborated on the natural hesitation, adding, “And it’s like, you don’t really want to say right away that you’re pregnant. It’s like, ‘Let me see a couple of more sonograms. Let my baby be healthy.’ “

Family First, Even from Parents

Adding another layer to her private approach, Cardi B confessed that, as of the interview’s taping, she hadn’t yet shared the news with her own parents. She humorously admitted her plan to inform them just before the interview aired, citing a touch of apprehension. “They just be looking at me,” she said with a laugh. “I’m very scared of my parents!”

However, she was quick to clarify that this slight delay had nothing to do with her parents’ feelings about Stefon Diggs. In fact, the soon-to-be mother of four revealed that her parents are quite fond of her new beau. “They like him, they do like him,” she shared, indicating a warm reception for Diggs within the family circle.

A Broader Family Picture

Diggs, a prominent figure in the NFL, is already a father to an 8-year-old daughter named Nova. Cardi B, on the other hand, shares her existing three children with her estranged husband, rapper Offset. Their children include Kulture Kiari, 7, Wave Set, 4, and Blossom Belle, who was welcomed in September 2024. Offset also has children from previous relationships, further highlighting the extensive blended family dynamics involved.

Touring and Motherhood: A Balancing Act

Beyond the personal news, Cardi B is gearing up for a significant professional endeavor: a 32-city tour. She playfully tied her pregnancy announcement to her music, urging fans to support her upcoming album. “By the way, now that I talked about it, y’all better get my album,” she told her audience. “Y’all wanted to know, right? Now you know. Now y’all can buy my album, so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told y’all, now go support my album ’cause I’m a mother of four now!”

While the exact due date and the baby’s sex remain a mystery for now, Cardi B assured Gayle King that the arrival would precede her February tour. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper expressed her readiness for the demanding schedule, stating, “I’m very ready. Even when I’m pregnant I’m very, very ready. Because I’m getting my body ready. I stretch it out. I stretch so as soon as I give birth, tour rehearsal starts. Yeah. I don’t come from weak women.” Her determination to balance her growing family and a robust career is evident, promising a captivating year ahead for fans and the artist alike.
