Cardi B has given birth to her fourth child – and first with NFL player boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
The 33-year-old rapper – who announced she was expecting baby number four back in September – confirmed the big news in an Instagram post shared on Thursday while also celebrating the ‘next era’ in her life.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker welcomed a baby boy last week, sources told TMZ, with Stefon being with the music artist when their little one was born.
Cardi B is already mother to three children whom she shares with ex Offset: Kulture, seven, Wave, four and Blossom, one.
Alongside a video of herself wearing a stylish all-black outfit, the performer penned in the caption: ‘My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season.
‘Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world!’ she continued.
‘A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.’

The star further wrote to her fans, ‘This next chapter is Me vs. Me! It’s me against all odds me against everything meant to get in my way.’
The mom-of-four added that she has started to get ready for her upcoming tour by ‘getting my body right getting my mind right.’
The star recently revealed that she is slated to kick off her Little Miss Drama Tour next year on February 11 in Palm Desert, California.
Cardi B concluded with, ‘There’s nothing thats gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a life time!
‘I’ve learned i’ve healed, and im loving the woman i’ve become! Thats what this next era means to me and i’m stepping into it better than ever.’
Stefon – who is a wide receiver for the New England Patriots – is also father to an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Back in September during an appearance on CBS Mornings, Cardi B shared the news of her fourth pregnancy and told host Gayle King at the time, ‘I’m having a baby with my boyfriend Stefon Diggs.’
She further expressed, ‘I’ve been putting in all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby. I’m happy I feel like I’m in a good space.’

The star gave insight into her relationship with the sports player and added, ‘Me and my man are very supportive of each other.
‘We like in the same space in our careers. You know what it is that I feel like we’re really great, we’re really the best at what we do.’
Cardi B explained how both she and Stefon aim to be ‘the greatest’ in their respective fields while adding, ‘And he just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong.’
While dealing with the pressures of dropping her new album Am I The Drama? back in September, she gushed how Stefon was very supportive at the time.
‘He makes me feel very confident. And it makes you feel like you could take over the world.’
And earlier this month, Stefon revealed the gender of their little one while talking to People.
‘It’s a boy. That’s enough for me. I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around,’ the NFL player said.
The rapper first sparked romance rumors with Stefon in October 2024 and the pair were later spotted earlier this year in February at a nightclub together.

The two stars later attended the 2025 Met Gala in May separately but attended an after party together.
And just days later, the lovebirds debuted their romance as they made an appearance at a Knicks game in NYC at Madison Square Garden.
The pair went Instagram official the following month as Cardi B shared loved-up snaps as they cozied up on a yacht.
Earlier this month, the rapper cheered on Stefon as the Patriots took on the Atlanta Falcons at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.
Cardi B previously had an on-and-off relationship with rapper Offset. The pair began dating in 2017 and secretly tied the knot that same year.
In August 2024, the I Like It rapper filed for divorce from Offset before announcing she was pregnant with their third child.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club in September, Cardi B gave an update on her divorce from Offset.
‘It’s not peaceful at all. I can’t even talk about it because it’s a court thing, but it is not peaceful.’

It was also revealed earlier this month that Stefon has learned that he is the father of an Instagram model’s baby girl after taking a paternity test.
The NFL player had initially disputed fathering the child with Aileen Lopera, known as Lord Gisselle on social media.
The baby was born in April, with Lopera naming her Charliee and giving her the NFL star’s last name.
She initially filed a petition to determine if Stefon was her infant daughter’s father last December.
‘Now that the child’s paternity has been established and Mr. Diggs has acknowledged his daughter, my client hopes they can work together for the child’s best interests,’ Lopera’s lawyer, Tamar Arminak, told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.
In what could be interpreted as a comment on the news of the test results, Lopera shared a quote to her Instagram story last week, saying: ‘You know what God? I thank you for everything.’

Cardi B also jumped to her own Instagram stories on Thursday as she shared a short reel of a pink baby stroller that had floral details on top
Stefon said in September that if he is proven to be the father of Charliee, he wants joint legal and physical custody of her.
The Patriots wide receiver has an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. He is in the first year of a three-year deal with the organization worth $69million.
Cardi B also jumped to her own Instagram stories on Thursday as she shared a short reel of a pink baby stroller that had floral details on top.
‘I love girly things @cybex_gloabl,’ she penned before stating that she would get one for her one-year-old daughter Blossom.
