At the beginning of August, rapper Cardi B announced her pregnancy. This would be her third child with her husband, rap artist Offset. On the same day, news broke that Cardi B is filing for divorce and petitioning for primary custody of their two children.
Now, Cardi B has given birth to a baby girl. Here’s everything we know about the state of Cardi B’s and Offset’s relationship.
Cardi B and Offset’s Relationship Timeline
Cardi B and Offset have been married for six years and have had quite a tumultuous relationship.
While the couple has made it very clear that they love each other dearly, they seem to split often. This is primarily due to multiple accusations of Offset’s infidelity, some of which have been confirmed.
Cardi B and Offset have two children together, aside from their newest addition: their firstborn daughter, Kulture, 6, and their son, Wave, 2. Offset also has three other children from previous relationships, with whom Cardi B claims to have a good relationship.
Although the most straightforward explanation for the two rappers’ separation is Offset’s cheating, a representative for Cardi says that’s not necessarily the case.
“It’s not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming,” they said in a statement to PEOPLE, echoing Cardi B’s sentiment.
She first announced their breakup for the third time in December 2023, saying she had been single “for a while.” While there were multiple rumors that the two had reconciled again, neither officially confirmed it but allowed the divorce filing to answer fans’ speculation.
In response to people wondering why she was always around Offset despite their breakup, Cardi B said the two of them are best friends. She said during her interview with Rolling Stone, “It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”
Welcoming the New Baby
On September 15th, Cardi announced that she had given birth to her baby girl but hasn’t revealed her name yet. She posted a video to TikTok sharing her intimate moments of bringing her new baby into the world.
We see Offset supporting her and holding their new baby in the video, solidifying their stance on their close friendship.

The Uncertain Future for Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B’s divorce is still ongoing. However, it seems that’s not the top priority for her and Offset, rightfully so. While their marriage might be ending, they have a lot to celebrate and seem to be handling their impending divorce with grace.
