Cardi B and Stefon Diggs made headlines when their relationship went public in 2025, with the rapper later revealing that the couple were expecting a child together. The “Bodak Yellow” artist confirmed the pregnancy during a September 2025 interview on CBS Mornings, sharing that the NFL star had been a major source of support during a stressful time in her career. During her conversation with CBS’ Gayle King, Cardi said Stefon “makes [her] feel safe and very confident and very strong.”
“Two weeks ago, I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying, just because I was getting really nervous with the whole album rollout,” Cardi explained. “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 [sic]. I was like, ‘See, this is why I don’t put music out.’ This is my art and something I put a lot of time to, and it’s just, like sometimes, when people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crushes you. And he was just like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.'”c
Though the pair welcomed a baby boy later in 2025, reports surfaced in early 2026 that Cardi and Stefon had split after their high-profile romance. Still, fans remain curious about the football player’s personal life, including whether he has children from previous relationships.
