Cardi B, the Bronx-born rapper who rose to fame with her breakout single Bodak Yellow, has revealed that she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs, and is expecting the baby before the start of her 2026 arena tour. The news comes during a complicated period in her personal life, as she remains legally married to her estranged husband, Offset, with whom she shares two children.
An intriguing question has arisen from this situation on social media; with Cardi B pregnant by Stefon Diggs while still legally married to Offset, could Offset be considered the legal father of the child and therefore liable for child support? At first glance, this may sound like nothing more than celebrity gossip. But beneath the gossip lies a very real legal principle that has shaped family law for centuries and continues to affect ordinary families today: the presumption of paternity.
