A Joyful Announcement
Cardi B took to Instagram to share her pregnancy news, posting stunning photos of herself in a red dress that accentuated her baby bump. In her heartfelt caption, she expressed gratitude for the love and support she has received during this season of her life. “With every ending comes a new beginning!

She continued, “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!” Cardi concluded her post by acknowledging the challenges of life, stating, “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and tests laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
This exciting news comes as Cardi prepares to welcome her third child, who will join her two older children, Kulture Kiari, 6, and Wave Set, 2½, both of whom she shares with Offset.
Divorce Filing and Custody Plans
Cardi B’s pregnancy announcement follows her recent filing for divorce from Offset, which was confirmed by a representative for the rapper. The divorce is reportedly not related to infidelity rumors but has been described as a long time coming. Cardi is seeking primary custody of their two children, Kulture and Wave, as she navigates this transition.
The couple’s relationship has been tumultuous, characterized by several breakups and reconciliations since their marriage in September 2017.

Balancing Motherhood and Career
Despite the challenges in her personal life, Cardi has been open about her commitment to her children and her career. In a previous interview, she emphasized the importance of her kids, stating, “My kids come first. My kids come before anything.” She also discussed the difficulties of balancing motherhood with her music career, admitting that she was in search of a nanny while relying on her parents for support.
Cardi’s candidness about her struggles and triumphs resonates with many fans, as she continues to break barriers in the music industry while managing the complexities of family life.
