The Grammy winner announced her third pregnancy just hours after filing for divorce from husband Offset.
The unexpected pregnancy announcement has left fans trying to process the whirlwind of emotions surrounding the couple’s stormy relationship.
The 31-year-old “WAP” rapper’s agent verified on Thursday that she had filed for divorce from her seven-year spouse. Page Six was the first to report the news.
According to reports, Cardi B filed on Wednesday, asking for primary custody of their two children, Wave, age two, and Kulture, age five. The divorce application “is not based on any one particular incident; it has been a long time coming and is amicable,” according to Cardi’s representative.
Following the public announcement of her split, Cardi B shared images on social media of herself in a flowing red gown that exposed her baby bump.
In her post, Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus, thanks her growing baby for helping her through a difficult time, saying: “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!
“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you; you have brought me more love and life and, most of all, renewed my power.
Cardi B has filed for divorce twice before, so their relationship has seen its share of ups and downs.
When both rappers unfollowed one another on Instagram in the latter part of last year, fans started to speculate that their relationship was in trouble.
Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset in 2020, saying their union was “irretrievably broken.”
However, a month later, Cardi disclosed that she and the rapper of “Stir Fry” had made amends, and the case was dropped in the first few days of November 2020.
Over the next four years, their romance survived a few more rough patches — more cheating rumors, plus a social media squabble between the couple — before Cardi B’s latest announcement.
