In New York, Stefon Diggs surprised his pregnant girlfriend Cardi B at her Apple Music listening party for the album Am I the Drama? at the Highlight Room, arriving with a towering bouquet of Venus Le Fleur red roses in a vase decorated with images of her face and embracing her outside the venue.
The couple was seen hugging outside the party, Cardi wearing a lace robe and slippers, Diggs in white pants and a denim jacket as she exited after about 3 a.m. with her growing baby bump on display. The bouquet and the vase drew attention as Cardi celebrated the release with friends and collaborators, a moment captured by onlookers and paparazzi outside the marquee event. The party ran late into the night, underscoring Cardi B’s moment in the spotlight as she marked a new chapter in her career and personal life.
Two days earlier, Cardi announced that she is pregnant and expecting her first child with Diggs. Speaking with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, she said she was excited and in a good space, and she noted that her tour would begin in February. “I’m excited, I’m happy, I feel like I’m in a good space,” she said, adding that she waited to confirm the pregnancy news on her own time. Cardi later appeared at her party in a lace ensemble, making the moment feel both celebratory and intimate despite the surrounding headlines.
The next day, Page Six reported that Diggs faced a paternity lawsuit. Aileen Lopera claimed in records filed in December 2024 that Diggs was the father of her child, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, who was born on April 2. Diggs has questioned paternity, saying he is not certain he is the child’s father and requesting a genetic test.
Cardi and Diggs first took their romance public in May when they appeared together at an NBA game on May 12, signaling a more-than-friendly relationship amid the ongoing headlines. In a separate moment captured in New York City, Diggs was spotted outside a hospital holding a baby carrier with an unknown woman. Lopera’s attorney, Tamar Arminak, confirmed that the woman seen with Diggs was not her client and added that no car seat had been provided for the infant. Arminak told Page Six she looked forward to the day Diggs would acknowledge and provide for the child they share. Page Six has reached out to Diggs’s representatives for comment.
Cardi, who already shares three children with her estranged husband Offset, confirmed that she is due before her tour kicks off in February. She explained why she waited to confirm the pregnancy news, saying she didn’t want to rush sharing personal news and preferred to speak on her own timeline, insisting she was not hiding anything. The events surrounding Cardi’s release party and Diggs’s paternity allegations reflect a complex moment for the couple, coming as Cardi’s new album draws attention and as a broader public watches the unfolding personal narrative.
The celebration at the Highlight Room and the subsequent headlines highlight the intersection of high-profile romance, live music culture, and the relentless focus of celebrity tabloids. As Cardi B presses forward with her creative work and an anticipated tour, Diggs faces questions about his paternity status and how those revelations may shape their relationship going into the year ahead. The narrative remains fluid, with representatives from both sides continuing to respond to inquiries as more details emerge.
