Patriots superstar Receives Joyful News Ahead of Big Game Against Steelers

Foxborough, September 18, 2025 – As the New England Patriots gear up for a crucial Week 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has received major personal news: his girlfriend, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, is pregnant with his first child.

Cardi B announced the news on CBS Mornings during an interview with Gayle King. She proudly shared, “I feel strong, I feel powerful doing everything, but at the same time, I’m creating a little human being.” This will be Cardi B’s fourth child but Diggs’ first, stirring excitement in both the sports and entertainment worlds. Rumors of her pregnancy had been circulating on social media for weeks, and the official confirmation has thrilled fans.

The baby is expected to arrive before Cardi B kicks off her Little Miss Drama Tour in February 2026. Her second studio album, Am I The Drama?, also drops on September 19, just before the Patriots-Steelers game. For Diggs, who has recorded 89 yards on 10 receptions in the first two games of the season, the joy of impending fatherhood is a significant motivator. Teammates say he remains highly focused in practice but is more upbeat than ever. When asked about celebration plans, Diggs simply smiled and said, “Just wait and see.”

He added, “Playing for the Patriots was a dream, but having my dad give me more reason to fight on the field – not only for the team but for the family waiting behind me.” Diggs jokingly remarked, “I just hope the kid grows up a Patriots fan, not a Steelers one!” As the Patriots face a challenging season, this personal milestone could fuel Diggs’ performance against the Steelers. Fans are eagerly awaiting the game while celebrating the couple’s new chapter.
