Her joyful announcement came on the heels of news that she and Offset are headed for divorce, as reported by Page Six. According to the magazine, Cardi has filed for a second divorce from her estranged husband and is seeking primary custody of their two children, son Wave Set and daughter Kulture Chiari.

In December 2023, the rapper confirmed she was single via Instagram Live, in which she admitted she had not been in a relationship "for a little while now," People reported at the time.

"I don't know how to tell the world," she continued. But I feel like today was the sign."

Cardi B met Offset and the two began dating in 2017. That same year, they married, and soon after, in 2018, Cardi B gave birth to their first child.

In May, the soon-to-be mother of three told Rolling Stone magazine that she and Offset were "in love," before adding, "It's not even about love."

"We each have our bad points. We come from two different worlds. It's not that I can't be a wife. My career dictates my life."

"My career comes first, my children come second. And sometimes I don't realize that I am putting so many things before my relationship."

In an interview with Vogue Singapore in 2022, the rapper also opened up about her life as a mother of two.

"Not many artists had babies early in their careers. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't have an album out. Everyone was nervous about my career and my future, but I told them, 'It's easy, I'm a mother. Trust me, I have a nanny and she will travel up and down with me. It won't even be a hassle."

"When my baby was born, I was afraid to hire a sitter because I was afraid to have someone outside of my family around my baby. I never hired a sitter because of the culture," she added, continuing that now that she is a mother herself, "I have never been more grateful to my mom."

"When you have kids, you look at things a little differently," she explained.
