In a surprising turn of events, Cardi B has once again taken steps to end her marriage to Offset, as confirmed by her representative.
The couple, who have shared seven years of ups and downs, are making headlines once more with this latest development, first reported by Page Six.
On Wednesday, Cardi B filed for divorce, seeking primary custody of their two young children, Kulture, aged five, and Wave, who is just two.
According to her representative, this decision was not triggered by any singular incident but rather seemed inevitable given the circumstances.
The separation is described as amicable, suggesting that both parties are approaching this transition with a sense of mutual respect.
In an intriguing twist, just a day after the divorce filing, Cardi took to Instagram to share images that hinted at a new beginning.
She showcased what appeared to be a baby bump, expressing gratitude for her future child and reflecting on themes of love, life, and empowerment.
Her caption, which resonated with the notion of endings paving the way for fresh starts, seemed to echo her current emotional state amid the divorce proceedings.
The couple’s relationship has been anything but simple.
Since tying the knot in 2017, Cardi has previously initiated divorce proceedings twice.
In September 2020, she sought to legally dissolve their marriage, attributing the split to a myriad of challenges rather than infidelity.
However, within a month, they reconciled, with Cardi explaining during an Instagram Live session how difficult it was to sever ties with her best friend.
Despite their attempts to navigate through rough waters, rumors of infidelity and social media spats have plagued their relationship.
Yet, just when fans thought hope was on the horizon, Cardi confirmed their split once again in December 2023, stating she had been single for a while.
This announcement came after a period where many believed the couple was working toward reconciliation, especially after celebrating New Year’s Eve together and Offset directing Cardi’s music video for “Like What Freestyle” in March.
Cardi has openly acknowledged the complexity of her bond with Offset.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, she described them as best friends, emphasizing the difficulty of leaving someone with whom you share such a deep connection.
Their relationship has often resembled a rollercoaster ride, filled with exhilarating highs and challenging lows.
In April, the couple was spotted enjoying a date night at a New York Knicks game, further fueling speculation about their status.
Just a month later, Cardi expressed gratitude towards Offset for showering her with thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts, demonstrating that despite their challenges, there remains a strong bond between them.
