A New Arrival for the Celebrity Couple
NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs has publicly shared his immense pride and love for his partner, the rapper Cardi B, following the birth of their first child together. The couple welcomed a baby boy into the world on November 4, an event Cardi B commemorated by posting intimate family photos on her Instagram this week.
Heartwarming First Glimpses
The 33-year-old music artist gave her followers a touching look into the family's first moments. One precious image showed the newborn, adorably swaddled in a New England Patriots blanket bearing his father's name, as he rested peacefully in his mother's arms. Another photo captured the raw emotion of the new parents, with Diggs, 31, and Cardi B curled up together on the hospital bed, meeting their son for the very first time.
Overflowing with joy, Diggs took to the comments section to express his feelings. 'There he issssssss,' the Buffalo Bills player wrote, before seemingly revealing their son's unique name in a follow-up comment: 'Baby brim'. He concluded his public outpouring of support with a message directed at Cardi, writing, 'Proud of you boo butt !!!! Love you'.
A Blended Family and a Sparked Controversy
This newborn, affectionately called 'Brim', is the first child for the couple together, but it expands both of their already large families. For Cardi B, this is her fourth child; she shares three children—seven-year-old Kulture, four-year-old Wave, and one-year-old Blossom—with her ex-partner, Offset. Stefon Diggs is also a father to an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
The joyous occasion, however, was swiftly followed by controversy for the NFL star. Just days after the birth was confirmed, Diggs found himself at the centre of online criticism due to a viral interaction during a game. In the first quarter of the New England Patriots' win over the New York Jets, Diggs caught a pass and then handed the football to a nearby Patriots cheerleader in celebration.
The clip spread rapidly across social media, with many users questioning his actions so soon after becoming a father again. Among the critics was Patriots Super Bowl winner and NFL analyst Jason McCourty, who posted the video on X with the caption, 'Bruh what’s wrong with Stefon Diggs'. Other viewers echoed this sentiment, with one commenting, 'Cardi, get your man. He out her again', highlighting the stark contrast between the private family joy and the very public sporting moment.
