Cardi B and Offset’s marriage is officially over again. Cardi B filed for divorce on August 1, 2024, after nearly seven years of marriage. Her rep clarified that this decision wasn’t driven by a single incident but was a long time in the making.
Coinciding with the divorce announcement, Cardi revealed on Instagram that she’s expecting her third child. “With every ending comes a new beginning!” she wrote, expressing gratitude for the love and empowerment she’s experienced.
This filing follows a period of separation earlier this year, during which Cardi had previously mentioned her struggle with the idea of fully ending their relationship. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she reflected on their deep bond, describing Offset as both a best friend and a crucial support system.
Despite their ups and downs, including Offset's past infidelities and their brief 2018 split, the couple had rekindled their relationship several times, including a notable reunion at the 2024 Met Gala. Cardi and Offset, who share two children, Kulture and Wave, have repeatedly faced public scrutiny over their turbulent romance.
Their relationship began in 2017 with a secret wedding, followed by a high-profile engagement and the birth of their first child in July 2018. Although they split briefly in December 2018 due to Offset’s cheating, they reconciled and continued to build their family, welcoming a second child in September 2021.
Their marriage had numerous highs, including family milestones and joint appearances, but also faced challenges related to Offset’s behavior and Cardi’s demanding career. In December 2023, Cardi confirmed they had split again, stating they were “testing the space” between them.
Now, with Cardi’s latest announcement, it seems their chapter together has closed, but with new beginnings on the horizon for her and their expanding family.
