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.

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.
