She also welcomed a fourth child, a baby boy whose named she has not publicly revealed, in November 2025, with her on-off boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs.
Shortly after announcing her fourth pregnancy, Cardi opened up about motherhood and how it has changed her during an appearance on Angie Martinez's IRL Podcast.
“Your kids never leave your mind,” she said. “Not for a second. You think about them all day.” She added that being a mom is “really hard” and a “nonstop job,” noting that's the case "whether you have money or not.”
On Wave's third birthday, Cardi revealed that she was initially nervous about having a boy, writing on Instagram, “I was soo happy when I found I was having a baby then all of a sudden I got so scared when I found out I was having a boy, I'm such a girly girl.”
“You make it easy tho getting into that sporty mom bag … I'll always have your back, front and sides,” she added.
