Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper, is expecting her third child as she navigates a divorce from her estranged husband, Offset. The 31-year-old artist made the announcement on Thursday with a stunning photoshoot against the backdrop of New York City.
In an Instagram post, Cardi expressed her gratitude and excitement, saying, “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, “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can’t wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish.”
Cardi’s announcement comes at a tumultuous time, as she recently filed for divorce from Offset, seeking primary custody of their two children, 6-year-old Kulture and 2-year-old Wave. The divorce filing follows a period of separation that Cardi publicly confirmed in December 2023, stating she had been “single for a while.”

Offset, 32, also has three other children from previous relationships: 14-year-old Jordan, and 9-year-old twins Kalea and Kody.
Cardi’s announcement of her pregnancy has brought a wave of support and excitement from her fans, eager to see how this new chapter unfolds. The rapper’s message encapsulates her resilience and determination to balance her career, family, and personal life. As she embraces motherhood once again, Cardi B continues to be a source of inspiration, demonstrating that it is possible to thrive amid life’s challenges.
