American rapper Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, famously known as Cardi B, has joyfully welcomed a baby boy with her partner, New England Patriots player Stefon Diggs. The exciting news was shared by the rapper herself on Instagram, accompanying a video of her walking through a bright white hallway in an all-black outfit, soundtracked by her song “Hello” from her Billboard 200-topping sophomore album, ‘Am I the Drama?’, which arrived in September.

Reflecting on this significant new chapter, Cardi B shared profound thoughts about her life’s journey. She wrote, “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!” She continued, expressing her dedication to both her career and family: “I brought new music and a new album to the world! 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.”

Embracing a powerful new mindset, Cardi B declared her upcoming era as “Me vs. Me.” She emphasized her determination to overcome challenges: “It’s me against all odds, me against everything meant to get in my way. I’ve started prepping for tour, getting my body right, getting my mind right. There’s nothing that’s gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a lifetime! I’ve learned I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become! That’s what this next era means to me, and I’m stepping into it better than ever.” This renewed focus includes preparations for her 2026 Little Miss Drama tour, scheduled to kick off on February 11 in Palm Desert, California.

This new arrival marks Cardi B’s fourth child and her first with Stefon Diggs. She is already a loving mother to three children from her previous marriage with ex-husband Offset: her 7-year-old daughter Kulture, her 4-year-old son Wave, and her 1-year-old daughter Blossom.

In a playful and endearing moment shared on her Instagram Story, Cardi B gushed over a pair of baby-pink, flower-covered strollers, laughing about how adorable they were, even though she had just welcomed a boy. This lighthearted anecdote further highlighted her joy and excitement about motherhood.

Whispers of Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ relationship began in the fall of the previous year, culminating in their first public appearance as a couple in May, where they were seen cuddling courtside at the New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics game during the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
