Cardi B confirmed on Instagram on Thursday, Aug. 1 that she is pregnant and expecting her third baby.

Cardi, 31, wrote in a social media post alongside photos of herself in a red dress showing off her baby bump: “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!  It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”  

Cardi’s pregnancy announcement comes shortly after it was a revealed that she had filed for divorce from husband Offset, 32, after six years of marriage. Page Six reported that Cardi is seeking primary custody of their children together, son Wave Set, 2½, and daughter Kulture Kiari, 6. The divorce filing was not publicly available at press time. Offset is also a father to sons Jordan, 14, and Kody, 8, and daughter Kalea Marie, 9, from previous relationships.

During an Instagram Live in December 2023, Cardi first confirmed that she is single, saying at the time “I’ve been single for a minute now, but I have been afraid … Not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been, like, a sign.” Despite that, Cardi and Offset were still seen spending time together on New Year’s Eve, with Offset directing the music video for “Like What (Freestyle),”. That same month, Rolling Stone published an interview in which Cardi said the pair was “all right now .. because we do love each other It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

Cardi B and Offset have had an on-and-off again relationship since they got married in September 2017, often the result of his alleged infidelity. They announced they were splitting in 2018 and, after reconciling, Cardi B filed for divorce in September 2020, which they later called off. In a 2020 interview with ELLE, Cardi addressed the couple’s ups-and-downs, saying, “I do know that my relationship has a lot of drama and everything. But there’s a lot of love there’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of trust, there’s a big friendship. It’s always us against the world.”
