Stefon Diggs is preparing for dad mode as pregnant girlfriend Cardi B’s due date draws closer.

“It’s supposed to happen real soon,” Diggs, 31, told Extra at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday, November 3, teasing when the couple’s little one is due.

The New England Patriots receiver will be new to parenthood, so he asked the reporter and fans to “wish us both luck” on the journey.

Diggs also revealed the sex of his and Cardi’s baby during the New York City event, telling People, “It’s a boy.”

When asked what he’s most excited about once the baby arrives, Diggs said having a son is “enough” for him.

“I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around,” the NFL player added.

Cardi, 33, previously hinted at wanting a baby boy with Diggs on the song “On My Back” from her album Am I the Drama, which dropped in September.

“I be staring in your eyes through the whole day / I swear to God, I hope our kids have your whole face,” the lyrics read. “Take these clothes off and throw ’em on the floor / I told my girl I’m ’bout to give this man a boy / Throw me on my back.”

Diggs was first linked to Cardi in October 2024 after the rapper filed for divorce from Offset that July. Cardi and Offset, 33, were married six years before their split and share three children: Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 13 months.

While Cardi initially denied she was dating Diggs, the pair continued to fuel romance rumors. In June, the Grammy winner confirmed her relationship with Diggs via social media by sharing a cozy photo with him on a yacht.

Three months later, Cardi announced her pregnancy with baby No. 4, her first with Diggs. “I am having a baby with my boyfriend,” she told Gayle King during an appearance on CBS Mornings in September. “I’m excited.”

Weeks before Cardi confirmed her pregnancy, Diggs responded to a lawsuit filed by Aileen Lopera in December 2024, who claimed that he is the father of her 7-month-old baby girl.

Us Weekly confirmed that Diggs said in a July 17 filing that he was certain he was not the father of Lopera’s daughter, Charliee, who was born on April 2. He requested “genetic testing to determine” whether he is the father and asked the court for joint legal and physical custody of the child if the test proves paternity.

Amid the drama, Diggs has been focused on football, and Cardi has been his No. 1 supporter.
