In a whirlwind of personal revelations, Cardi B has stunned fans by announcing her third pregnancy just as news of her split from husband Offset broke. On August 1st, the rapper shared a series of heartwarming Instagram photos, cradling her baby bump, and penned a touching caption that revealed her excitement and gratitude for the new chapter in her life.
A New Beginning
Cardi B’s Instagram post resonated with fans worldwide, showcasing her resilience and optimism despite the recent upheaval in her personal life. She wrote:
“With every ending comes a new beginning. I’m so grateful to have shared this season with you. You have brought me more love, more life, and most of all, renewed my power. You’ve reminded me that I can have it all. I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do.”
These words reflect her determination to embrace motherhood while continuing to pursue her passions. Cardi B emphasized that she does not need to choose between life, love, and her career, an inspiring message for many of her followers.
Amid the Split
The joyous announcement of her pregnancy comes at a tumultuous time, as Cardi B recently filed for divorce from Offset, her husband since September 2017. A representative for Cardi confirmed to Page Six that the filing occurred on July 31st, and Access Hollywood has reached out for additional comments.
Despite the personal turmoil, Cardi’s priority remains her children. The couple shares two children: 5-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave. According to sources, Cardi is seeking primary custody of both children, underscoring her commitment to their well-being during this transition.
The Divorce Details
The news of the divorce follows Offset’s denial of cheating rumors. Allegations had surfaced that he was spotted with an ex-girlfriend, though he refuted these claims. Sources close to the couple describe the split as amicable, noting that both Cardi and Offset had been contemplating their future for some time.
“It’s not something that happened overnight. They’ve been on the same page. There wasn’t pushback. They’ve grown apart, and that feeling has gotten stronger over time. It’s become unavoidable,” a source explained.
This isn’t the first time the couple’s relationship has faced challenges. Cardi B previously filed for divorce in 2020 amid reports of Offset’s infidelity, but the couple reconciled and decided to stay together. However, recent months have seen Cardi publicly expressing her single status.
Cardi’s Public Statements
In December 2023, Cardi took to Instagram to inform her fans of her single status:
“I don’t know if you have been getting clues from me from my lives or from my stories when I put some certain music of find my own followings when it comes for today’s events and stuff. I don’t know if it’s true, I don’t think it’s true, I don’t care to find out because I I’ve been single for a minute now, but I have been afraid to like, I’m not afraid, I just don’t know how like to tell the world.”
Her candidness about her relationship status and personal struggles has always resonated with her fans, who appreciate her authenticity and transparency.
Moving Forward
Despite the split, there seems to be no animosity between Cardi B and Offset. They were last seen together at a Met Gala after-party in May, and sources close to Cardi report that she harbors no ill will towards Offset. An insider told Page Six:
“She has no ill will towards him. She’s wishing him the best. She’s not going into this next season of her life with any beef or any drama. She wants everything to be peaceful.”
Cardi’s focus is clearly on the positive aspects of her life as she prepares to welcome her third child. Her ability to find strength and renewal amid adversity is a testament to her character and resilience.
