Stefon Diggs, the renowned New England Patriots wide receiver, has been making waves off the field with exciting news about his family life. The athlete, who already has two children, is set to welcome a baby boy with his girlfriend, iconic rapper Cardi B, in early 2026.
Diggs’ journey as a father began in October 2016 with the birth of his first child, a daughter named Nova, whom he shares with his ex-partner Tyler-Marie. Though he keeps many details of his daughter’s life private, both Diggs and his mother, Stephanie, have shared glimpses into Nova’s milestones. One memorable moment captured was when she successfully achieved a yellow belt in karate, celebrated by Stephanie on social media. Additionally, a heartwarming video of Diggs playing on the field with Nova went viral, showcasing the father-daughter bond.
In 2025, Diggs faced a paternity suit filed by Aileen Lopera, who claimed he was the father of her infant daughter, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, born in April that year. Initially uncertain of his paternity, Diggs requested a genetic test, which later confirmed him as Charliee’s father in November. Following the confirmation, both parties expressed a hopeful stance towards co-parenting, indicating a wish to work together for their child’s well-being.
Amid these developments, Cardi B announced her pregnancy in September 2025, her first with Diggs and fourth overall. She expressed her excitement during an interview with Gayle King, feeling optimistic about this new chapter in her life. Cardi’s existing children with her ex-husband Offset include a daughter, Kulture, and sons, Wave and Blossom. Diggs’ mother expressed her elation regarding the couple’s expanding family, praising their dedication as parents.
As the couple prepares for their new arrival, Diggs enthusiastically shared that he is expecting a baby boy, stating, “It’s a boy. That’s enough for me.” He humorously added that he looks forward to sharing athletic training with his son. With both Diggs and Cardi being prominent figures in their respective fields, their growing family exemplifies their love and commitment. Their positive outlook on parenthood suggests a promising future filled with joy and shared experiences for their children.
