Cardi B and Offset are parting ways once more. On Wednesday, July 31, the rapper filed for divorce from her husband of six years, Offset, 32. This marks the second time Cardi has sought to end their marriage, following an initial filing in September 2020 that was later withdrawn.
A representative for Cardi B confirmed the news, emphasising that the decision is not tied to any cheating rumors. "It’s not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming," the rep stated. According to Page Six, Cardi B, 31, is seeking primary custody of their two children: daughter Kulture Kiari, 6, and son Wave Set, 2½. Details of the divorce filing were not available at press time.
Adding a surprising twist to the news, Cardi B announced on Instagram on Thursday, August 1, that she is expecting her third child. "With every ending comes a new beginning!" she captioned a photo of her baby bump. "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!"
This new development comes just seven months after Cardi B addressed their relationship candidly during an Instagram Live session. “I’ve been single for a minute now,” she said, expressing her desire for a fresh start and excitement for new beginnings.
Despite their turbulent relationship, Cardi and Offset have remained publicly connected. They celebrated New Year's Eve together, worked on a music video, and attended events as a couple. In May, Cardi described their relationship as "all right now," highlighting their deep connection and friendship.
However, their relationship has not been without drama. In December 2022, Cardi expressed her frustrations on Instagram Live, addressing Offset's behavior during her vulnerable moments. Additionally, in June 2023, Offset alleged in a deleted Instagram Story that Cardi had been unfaithful, though he later admitted to lying about the accusations.
The couple's dynamic continued to make headlines with their joint single "Jealousy," featuring a cover art that seemed to depict tension between them. Despite their struggles, they celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in September 2022, with Offset expressing his gratitude for Cardi’s support and love.
In her recent announcement, Cardi B emphasizes a new chapter in her life. "I love the fact that I’m with a grown ass man that’s going to provide, protect and help both of us GROW and can handle my mouth, my attitude, my confidence my weakness and all this ASS!!" she wrote in a touching tribute to Offset on their anniversary.
As Cardi B moves forward, she remains focused on her family and career, embracing the future with renewed strength and anticipation.
