Inside Cardi B's divorce filing from Offset

The pregnancy announcement that came just one day after news broke that Cardi B had filed for divorce from her now-estranged husband Offset after six years of marriage was confirmed by a representative for the 'I Like It' rapper, according to People.

"It’s not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming," said the representative.

Cardi is seeking primary custody of their children together, two-year-old son Wave Set, and six-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari.

Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, is also a father to sons Jordan, 14, and Kody, eight, and daughter Kalea Marie, nine, from his previous relationships.

Cardi B's tumultuous relationship with Offset

In December 2023, Cardi confirmed in an Instagram Live that she is single, admitting that she had been hesitant to share the news.

“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," she said at the time.

The 31-year-old rapper also revealed that she had been dropping hints about the split from Offset by unfollowing him and posting cryptic Instagram Stories.

"I don't know if you guys have been getting clues from me, from my Lives, or from my Stories, when I put some certain music, or find my unfollowings," said Cardi.
