Cardi B and Offset just welcomed their third baby together. The couple, who announced their split over the summer, shared that the rapper gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday, September 7.
“The prettiest little thing 🌸🌸 07.09.24 💖💖💖,” Cardi wrote on Instagram, sharing a carousel of photos from the hospital.
The main photo shows Cardi holding her baby. Other photos show Offset and their two children, Wave, 3, and Kulture, 6, holding their new sibling. Offset was also seen holding the newborn to his chest and joked, “I think she’s hungry, she’s sucking on my nipple.”
Megan Thee Stallion, Maiya the Don, Yung Miami and Somaya Reece were among the artists who congratulated Cardi on her baby on Instagram.
Cardi B announced in early August that she was pregnant and expecting her third baby with Offset, just days after filing for divorce from him on July 31. (She last filed for divorce in September 2020; it was dismissed two months later.)
“With every end comes a new beginning! I’m so grateful to have shared this time with you, you brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my strength!” Cardi wrote in her announcement post. “You reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love and my passion! I love you so much and can’t wait for you to witness what you helped me achieve, what you pushed me to do!”
In her Rolling Stone In the cover story published earlier this year, Cardi explained that the difficulties in her marriage were complex.
“What I love is that we really like each other, like a support system. We’re really each other’s cheerleaders,” she said. “We have our own bad sides. We come from two different worlds. Sometimes I can’t… not that I can’t be a wife. It’s just that my career is taking my life. You know what I mean?”
“My career comes first, then my kids,” she added. “And then sometimes I don’t realize that I’m putting so many things before my relationship.” She later changed that list to put her kids first.
