Cardi B publicly revealed her son’s name and shared the first photos of his face on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, the day he turned 1 year old. The rapper posted the images on Instagram, marking the public debut of her baby boy with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who now plays for the Washington Commanders.
The child’s full name is Grey Marsean Diggs, a Cardi B representative confirmed to Billboard, and he shares his middle and last names with his father. That makes the “M.D.” styling in Cardi B’s birthday post a clever double meaning. The letters are Grey’s actual initials, and they also serve as a nod to the “Grey’s Anatomy” medical theme of his birthday photos.
The child is Cardi B’s fourth child overall and her first with Diggs. She also shares daughters Kulture and Blossom and son Wave with her estranged husband, Offset. Grey was born Nov. 4, 2025, and Cardi B announced his arrival on Nov. 13, 2025, without revealing his name or face.
Cardi B’s Birthday Announcement for Grey
Cardi B originally captioned the birthday post, “Happy 1st birthday to Grey M.D🩶🩶🩶!!” according to Billboard. She later edited the caption to spell out his full name. She continued with a longer message reflecting on the past year, writing, “It’s only been 1 year since meeting you, but it feels like I’ve had you at my side forever.”
She also described her pregnancy in the caption, saying, “I carried you through one of the most uncertain high pressured times of my life but having you inside of me through it all gave me a extra strength.” Cardi B added a message about her son’s personality, writing, “You gave a new meaning to what a Grey day feels like. You light up my life and every room with your smile, your laugh and your precious spirit.”
What the Photos Show
The images Cardi B posted show Grey in several different outfits. One photo features the baby in a green snapback hat paired with diamond chains, while another shows him in a beanie and striped overalls, according to Billboard.
Cardi B also included a photo of her son in a Halloween costume themed around the medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy.” The outfit featured surgical scrubs, a white doctor’s lab coat and a “Grey, M.D.” name tag, with the show’s logo behind him. It is a nod that plays on both the baby’s initials and his first name.
Background on the Name Reveal
Cardi B and Diggs had already hinted at their son’s name before the birthday post. The two wore jewelry that spelled out “Grey” a couple of months ahead of the first birthday, according to Page Six. In a video from the birthday post itself, Cardi B wore a necklace spelling out “GREY” along with custom bracelets bearing each of her children’s names.
Diggs was excited about having a son even before Grey arrived. “It’s a boy. That’s enough for me,” he told People at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in early November 2025, shortly before the birth. “I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”
Diggs Celebrates on Instagram
Diggs also marked his son’s birthday on his Instagram Story, sharing a photo of himself holding Grey at a football stadium and writing “Gorditoooo,” according to reports.
Relationship Status
Cardi B and Diggs split in February 2026, shortly before the New England Patriots lost Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks, and Cardi B confirmed the breakup at a Little Miss Drama Tour stop later that month. Reconciliation rumors followed in the spring after Diggs attended her April concert in Washington, D.C., and the two appeared affectionate at a May 9 Mother’s Day event hosted by his Diggs Deep Foundation.
That reunion did not last. In June, Cardi B confirmed the split during an X Spaces session and said she would keep her next relationship private. Page Six now refers to Diggs as her ex. While the two are no longer a couple, both parents publicly celebrated their son’s first birthday.
What’s Next
Cardi B’s Instagram post marks the first time she has shown Grey’s face publicly since his birth. No further details about upcoming appearances or additional photos have been announced.
