Cardi B welcomed her third child, announcing the arrival of her newborn daughter on Instagram Thursday.
“The cutest little thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖,” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper wrote on the platform. Cardi, 31, shared the little one’s birth date alongside a series of photos from the hospital, including one of her breastfeeding and others showing her family doting on the newborn. The baby’s name has not yet been announced.
Cardi’s post also served as the latest unofficial confirmation that all was well — or at least civil — between her and her ex-husband, Offset, who appeared in the photos alongside their two other children, daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 2. (The Migos rapper, 32, also has three children from previous relationships.)
On August 1, the Grammy-winning emcee announced she was pregnant again, showing off her baby bump in a pair of photos shared on Instagram. “With every ending comes a new beginning,” she wrote, praising the baby on the way.
“You have brought me more love, more life, and most of all, you have renewed my power! You have reminded me that I can have it all!” she continued. “You have reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and I can’t wait for you to witness what you helped me achieve, what you pushed me to do!”
Cardi made that announcement amid reports that she and Offset, whom she married in 2017, were once again headed toward divorce and that she was reportedly seeking primary custody of their children. According to TMZ, her divorce documents confirm that Offset is the father of her third child. On Thursday, the outlet reported that the co-parents were not getting back together.
The “WAP” and “I Like It” rapper first filed for divorce from Offset in 2020 but withdrew the petition a couple of months later. Speculation about the divorce this summer sparked after Cardi B told fans in December that she had “been single for a minute.” In an Instagram Live last year, she reportedly addressed the cheating rumors swirling around her husband, noting that she didn’t think there was any truth to them and didn’t “care to find out.”
In the December 2023 video, she also teased her wish for a “new life, a new beginning” in the new year.
