Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B has revealed that she is expecting her third child. The news comes just hours after the “Bodak Yellow” singer filed for divorce from her husband of nearly seven years, the rapper Offset.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Cardi B shared two photos of herself cradling her baby bump and gazing down at it affectionately. The 31-year-old mother of two captioned the post with a heartfelt message reflecting on new beginnings and gratitude: “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!”

Cardi B’s pregnancy announcement was met with an outpouring of support and congratulations from fans, who flooded the comments section with well wishes for the soon-to-be mother of three.
The pregnancy news comes amid a highly publicized split from Offset. A representative for Cardi B confirmed the divorce to NBC News, stating, “This is not based on one particular incident; it has been a long time coming.” The couple, who are parents to Kulture, 5, and Wave, 2, have had an on-again, off-again relationship, with their most recent reconciliation occurring in the past few months.
Despite their separation, Cardi B expressed her love and appreciation for Offset in a previous interview with Rolling Stone, calling him her “best friend” and highlighting the supportive dynamic of their relationship. However, she also acknowledged the challenges they faced due to their differing careers and priorities, with Cardi B prioritizing her career and children above all else.
Cardi B has often taken to social media to express her affection for her children and celebrate their milestones. Last month, she wished her daughter a happy birthday, calling her “beautiful, gentle, and amazing” and reflecting on her own growth as a mother.
As Cardi B embarks on a new chapter of her life, she remains focused on her career, motherhood, and the exciting journey of welcoming a new addition to her family.
