Cardi B Announces She’s Expecting Baby No. 3 Amidst Recent Divorce Filing
Cardi B is gearing up for a new chapter in her life as she announces she’s pregnant with her third child. The 31-year-old rapper took to Instagram on August 1 to reveal the exciting news, sharing heartfelt photos of herself in a stunning red dress, proudly showcasing her baby bump.
Cardi’s announcement came with an emotional message: “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life, and most of all renewed my power!”
She continued, “Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!”
Her post concluded with the words: “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
The joyous news follows Cardi’s recent filing for divorce from her husband, Offset. The couple, who have been married for six years, are ending their marriage amid ongoing rumors. Cardi’s representative confirmed the divorce is not related to cheating allegations but has been “a long time coming.”
Cardi is seeking primary custody of their two children, Wave Set, 2½, and Kulture Kiari, 6. Offset, 32, also has three other children from previous relationships. The couple’s split was hinted at in December 2023 when Cardi revealed she was single during an Instagram Live session but wasn’t sure how to publicly announce it.
“I’ve been single for a minute now. But I have been afraid … Not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been, like, a sign,” she said during the live session.
Despite the separation, Cardi and Offset have spent time together in recent months, including celebrating New Year’s Eve and attending a Knicks game. Cardi had previously mentioned in a Rolling Stone interview that their bond remains strong, stating, “Because we do love each other. We’re best friends. It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”
Cardi and Offset’s relationship has been a rollercoaster of breakups and reconciliations since their marriage in September 2017, often due to infidelity rumors. The couple briefly split in 2018, and Cardi filed for divorce in September 2020, but they later reconciled.
