Cardi B reveals she’s pregnant again—and what she said about motherhood is striking a chord

Cardi B is stepping into a brand-new season of motherhood—this time as a mom of four.

On CBS Mornings, the rapper announced that she’s expecting her fourth child, her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. True to form, Cardi shared the news with humor, honesty, and the kind of raw energy that makes her so relatable to moms everywhere.

“I’m actually very excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space,” she told Gayle King. “I feel very strong, I feel very powerful—that I’m doing all this work, while I’m creating a baby.”

For so many moms, that balance is familiar: the chaos and beauty of building your dreams while your body quietly does its most important work.

A new chapter of motherhood

Cardi is already mom to three children—Kulture, 7, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 1—with her estranged husband, Offset. Now, as she prepares to welcome her fourth child, she’s embracing a fresh chapter of family life.

She even laughed about the practical side: “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff… I’m a mother of four now.”

On her own terms

Cardi also shared why she waited to announce her pregnancy: “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. … Can I just say it on my own time? Like I’m not hiding—it’s just on my own terms.”

That sentiment resonates deeply with moms who know the vulnerability of those early weeks and the importance of sharing news when it feels right.

Finding love and support

Since confirming her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs this past June, Cardi has spoken about how grounded and supported she feels. “We’re very supportive of each other. We’re like in the same space in our careers,” she explained.

She also admitted that Diggs helps her manage moments of doubt: “Two weeks ago I was literally having a panic attack… he makes me feel very confident. I feel like feeling safe is feeling confident, feeling like you could do it. And it makes you feel like you could take over the world.”

Balancing dreams and family

Cardi’s announcement comes just a day after she revealed her North American arena tour for her upcoming album Am I The Drama?. With her baby due before the tour kicks off in 2026, she’s gearing up for one of her busiest seasons yet.

“Even when I’m pregnant, I’m very ready,” she said. “I’m getting my body ready… so as soon as I give birth, tour rehearsal starts. I don’t come from weak women.”

It’s proof that ambition and motherhood don’t have to compete—they can live side by side. For many moms, that message hits home.
