Cardi B and Offset Welcome Third Child Together Amid Separation

Cardi B and her estranged husband Offset, who are parents to 6-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave, welcomed their third baby together more than a month after filing for divorce.

“The prettiest lil thing,” Cardi captioned a Sept. 12 Instagram post featuring photos of their family at the hospital, noting the birth date, “9/7/24.”

The “WAP” rapper announced her pregnancy—just hours after filing for a divorce from the 32-year-old rapper—on Aug. 1 by showing off her bump in an Instagram post captioned, “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! 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,” she continued. “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!”

And according to her recent divorce filing, this mother of three requested primary custody of their kids along with child support from the Migos alum.

The petition stated that Cardi and Offset had “experienced irreconcilable differences that have caused the breakdown of the marriage” and that “there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”

The on-again, off-again couple—who tied the knot in 2017—have taken time apart a few times throughout their relationship, with their first split occurring in 2018 amid cheating rumors.

The duo reunited in 2019, packing on the PDA at awards shows, before breaking up again in 2020—resulting in Cardi filing for divorce. She dismissed the proceedings later that year, but by 2023, they had called it quits again. After a New Year’s Eve reunion in 2024, the “Up” singer shared insight into their complicated relationship and the status of their marriage.

“We think it through, because we do love each other,” Cardi told Rolling Stone in May 2024. “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?”

But as the two closed another chapter of their relationship in August, the 31-year-old was left to not only deal with the physical effects of her pregnancy, but to address social media rumors that began to suspect the artist of bleaching her skin.

When an X user asked Cardi about the allegations, she clapped back with her response, “Bleaching while pregnant? Why must yall be so dumb ? Actually NO !”

“I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic,” she continued, shedding light on the painful realities of pregnancy, “this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale,eyes sunken ,veins green ASF,can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy ….PLEAE STOP  THINKIN WITH YOUR A–HOLE!”
