Cardi B gives birth, welcomes baby No. 3 with estranged husband Offset
Cardi B is now a mom of three!
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper announced via Instagram Thursday that she welcomed her third baby with estranged husband Offset (his sixth) on Sept. 7.
“The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖,” she captioned a carousel of photos of her in the hospital with her newborn baby girl.
Cardi — born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar — also shared pictures of the Migos emcee holding the infant, while their other two children, Kulture, 6, and Wave, 3, sat nearby.
In one snap, the “I Like It” rapper could be seen breastfeeding her daughter while sitting in the hospital bed.
Cardi, 31, first announced her pregnancy on Aug. 1 — just one day after she filed for divorce from Offset, 32.
At the time, the Grammy winner posed on a rooftop while baring her baby bump in a red gown and matching feather coat.
“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!” she wrote in the caption.
“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!”
She concluded, “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!”
Just a day prior to her announcement, Page Six exclusively revealed that Cardi had filed for divorce from Offset, born Kiari Cephus, after nearly seven years of marriage.
“They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” a source told us. “This is something she wants to do.”
The insider also denied that cheating rumors were the cause for the split — though the couple had been plagued with claims for years.
Though Cardi is seeking primary custody of their kids, she clarified that she is not asking the “Walk It Talk It” emcee for child support.
“My claim is for him to only pay for the bills he already pays on the kids and the new one,” she wrote on Instagram Aug 3.
The couple — who secretly tied the knot in 2017 — recently reunited to celebrate their son Wave’s 3rd birthday.
