NFL star Stefon Diggs is making headlines for more than his on-field performance after Cardi B revealed she is expecting his child.
The Grammy-winning rapper revealed the news during an appearance on CBS Mornings with Gayle King, sharing that the baby is due ahead of her 2026 tour.
For Diggs, who joined the New England Patriots this season, the timing adds another layer to a year already filled with change. Known for his explosive playmaking on the field, he now faces a different kind of spotlight as fans link him with one of music’s biggest stars.
Cardi B spoke candidly about this new chapter, describing it as a balance of motherhood and artistry. She told King she feels “strong” and “powerful” creating a family while continuing her career. But while Cardi embraced the moment, Diggs kept his distance from the noise.
Reporters pressed him for comment in the Patriots locker room soon after the announcement. He sidestepped with a smile, offering only, “Oh, my personal life? I told you, I don’t talk too much about it.” When asked again, he answered with a short, “I heard about it.” His guarded approach made clear he prefers to let his play on the field do the talking.

Despite his silence, the internet had plenty to say. Social media lit up with excitement, curiosity, and debate over Diggs’ measured reaction. Some fans applauded his composure under scrutiny, while others praised Cardi for balancing a demanding career with another child on the way.
The pairing of Diggs and Cardi B has already been dubbed a cultural power move, bridging the influence of the NFL and hip-hop. While Cardi readies her return to the stage, Diggs continues to adjust to life in New England, focused on delivering for his new team.
Their relationship may remain largely private in Diggs’ eyes, but the spotlight will only intensify as the due date nears. The wideout now stands at a rare intersection of sports and entertainment, where his every move — on and off the field — will be closely watched.
