Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has welcomed her third child with estranged husband Offset, despite the pair being in the midst of a high-profile divorce. Cardi announced the birth of her daughter via Instagram on September 12, revealing that she gave birth on September 7, 2024.
The post featured a series of intimate photos from the hospital, including a tender moment where she is seen breastfeeding her newborn. “The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖,” Cardi captioned the post, instantly drawing attention from her millions of fans and followers.
In the images, Offset is also pictured holding their newborn baby girl, while their two older children, Kulture, 6, and Wave, 3, sit nearby. Despite the ongoing drama surrounding their relationship, the family appeared united in these special moments, showing a softer side to their publicized lives.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, first revealed her pregnancy in early August, just one day after filing for divorce from Offset, born Kiari Cephus. The timing of the announcement surprised fans, as the couple had been known for their tumultuous relationship, with frequent headlines about infidelity and public reconciliations.
However, Cardi’s pregnancy announcement was full of positivity and reflection. Sharing photos of her baby bump in a glamorous red gown and feather coat, she expressed gratitude for the “new beginning” her baby represented.
“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you,” she wrote, addressing her unborn child. “You have brought me more love, more life, and most of all, renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!”
The heartfelt message highlighted how her children have motivated her to push through the ups and downs of her personal and professional life. “You, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!” she concluded, emphasizing that her family remains her biggest source of strength.
Cardi’s pregnancy came at a pivotal time, as she had filed for divorce from Offset after nearly seven years of marriage. The couple, known for their on-again, off-again dynamic, had faced numerous rumors of infidelity throughout their relationship.
Despite this, sources close to Cardi B revealed that the split was not caused by cheating but rather by the couple “growing apart.” “They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” an insider shared, denying that infidelity was a factor in the separation.
The couple has navigated their personal turmoil in the public eye, making this third addition to their family all the more poignant. As Cardi continues to build her career, she has made it clear that her role as a mother is central to her life.
This new chapter for Cardi B — as both a mother of three and a woman moving on from a high-profile relationship — is one that fans will surely follow closely. Whether her divorce from Offset is finalized or not, Cardi has shown resilience in balancing her personal challenges with the highs of her professional career. As she embraces this new phase of motherhood, she continues to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the spotlight.
