In a surprising turn of events, rapper Cardi B has officially filed for divorce from her husband Offset after six years of marriage.
As reported by PEOPLE, a representative for the artist confirmed that the filing took place on July 31.
Interestingly, this split is not rooted in rumors of infidelity; rather, it appears to be a culmination of long-standing issues between the couple.
Cardi B is seeking primary custody of their two children, six-year-old son Waveset and daughter Kulture Kiari.
At the time of reporting, the details of the divorce filing had not yet been made public.
Just hours after the news of their separation broke, Cardi B took to Instagram to announce her pregnancy with her third child, marking a significant new beginning in her life.
In her heartfelt post, she expressed gratitude for the love and strength she received throughout her marriage.
“A new beginning comes with every ending,” she wrote, reflecting on her journey while traveling.
This sentiment resonates deeply, as life often brings fresh starts following challenging chapters.
The revelation about their separation comes just over seven months after Cardi candidly shared her feelings during an Instagram Live session.
At that time, she admitted to her followers, “I’ve been single for a moment,” hinting at her desire for a fresh start.
She spoke of wanting to embrace the new year with openness and excitement, emphasizing her readiness for change.
Despite their ups and downs, Cardi and Offset appeared to maintain a bond.
They attended a Knicks game together in May, and Cardi even mentioned in a Rolling Stone interview that they were “all right now.” Their relationship seemed to oscillate between friendship and romance, with Cardi noting, “We do love each other,” but also highlighting the importance of their friendship.
Throughout their relationship, Cardi B has been open about her vulnerabilities.
In December, she went live on Instagram, visibly emotional as she discussed their struggles.
“This scumbag really enjoys playing games with me when I’m at my most vulnerable,” she revealed, shedding light on the complexities of their relationship.
Adding another layer to their tumultuous journey, the couple collaborated on the song “Jealousy” shortly after Offset accused Cardi of infidelity.
The cover art for the track depicted Cardi turning away from Offset, a powerful visual representation of their rocky path.
Despite the challenges, they celebrated milestones together, including their fifth wedding anniversary in September.
Offset went all out, decorating their home with lavish pink roses and candles, showcasing his affection for Cardi.
In a touching Instagram post, he reflected on their growth together, expressing gratitude for her unwavering support.
Cardi reciprocated these sentiments, praising Offset for his ability to handle her fiery personality.
“I love the way that I’m with a big boy that will give, secure and help the both of us grow,” she said, highlighting the importance of mutual support in their relationship.
As they navigate this new chapter, both Cardi B and Offset seem to be focusing on their individual paths while cherishing the moments they shared.
Life continues to unfold for the couple, with new beginnings on the horizon, reminding us that every ending can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.
