“We are so overjoyed to finally meet our son. He is already loved so much by family and friends and we can’t wait to introduce him to his other siblings,” the couple shared in a statement from their rep.

In June, Cardi surprised fans by announcing her pregnancy during the 2021 BET Awards, revealing that she was expecting baby number two by appearing on stage with her hubby during Migos’ performance of “Type Sh*t” and showing off her growing baby bump and pregnancy glow. She followed up the onstage reveal with an official announcement via Instagram, sharing beautiful photos from her maternity shoot.
