Cardi B has welcomed her third child with estranged husband Offset, announcing the news on Instagram on September 12. She shared photos of herself in the hospital, calling the newborn “the prettiest lil thing” and revealing that the baby was born on September 7.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, and Offset, a member of the Migos rap group, already share two children: their six-year-old daughter Kulture and three-year-old son Wave.
The news of her third child comes as Cardi B navigates her ongoing separation from Offset, which has garnered significant public attention.
Just over a month before the birth, Cardi B revealed her pregnancy in a striking Instagram post, wearing an all-red outfit that emphasized her baby bump.
In the post, Cardi reflected on how this new chapter of motherhood brought her renewed strength and inspiration, allowing her to balance her family life and career.
She expressed gratitude for the love and empowerment her children have brought her, noting that they’ve motivated her to keep pushing through life’s challenges.
The heartfelt message shows how important her role as a mother is in shaping both her personal and professional journey.
Offset, who shares additional children from previous relationships—14-year-old Jordan, 9-year-old Kalea Marie, and 8-year-old Kody—has also been navigating changes in his relationship with Cardi.
Shortly before her pregnancy announcement, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset, citing irreconcilable differences after six years of marriage.
This isn’t the first time she has filed for divorce; she initially took similar action in 2020 but later reconciled with Offset. Despite their differences, both Cardi and Offset have remained focused on their roles as co-parents to their children.
While there have been rumors of Offset’s infidelity, sources close to Cardi B have stated that the couple’s separation was more about growing apart than any specific incident.
Insiders revealed that Cardi felt the two had simply drifted in different directions, leading to her decision to file for divorce.
The focus, according to these reports, was not on dramatic breakups but rather on recognizing that their relationship had changed.
Cardi has expressed a desire to move forward, emphasizing the need for growth and prioritizing her family’s well-being.
Despite filing for divorce, Cardi B has clarified her stance on child support, stating that she would not ask Offset to pay more than he already does for their children.
In an Instagram post from August 3, she explained that her main request is for Offset to continue covering the financial obligations he has already been handling for their kids, including their newest addition.
Cardi’s public statements highlight her intent to co-parent effectively, maintaining a focus on their children’s needs rather than escalating legal battles over support payments.
Recently, both Cardi B and Offset celebrated their son Wave’s third birthday separately, sharing tributes to him on Instagram.
Offset called Wave “God’s Greatest Gift” in his post, while Cardi shared a series of touching photos of Wave over the years, including a moment from his infancy when she was feeding him.
These posts show that, despite their personal differences, both Cardi and Offset remain committed to their roles as loving parents to their children, even as they move forward separately.
