Cardi B has announced she is expecting her third child.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ artist shared the news on Instagram just hours after revealing that she has filed for divorce from her husband, Offset.
“With every ending comes a new beginning,” she wrote alongside a couple of photos showcasing her growing baby bump in a red dress that bares her stomach, hinting at the conclusion of her marriage.
“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! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
She continued: “I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! 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!”
The 32-year-old shares a daughter, Kulture, six, and a two-year-old son, Wave, with her estranged husband Offset (whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus).
Sources close to the couple have described their separation as ‘amicable’.
Additional sources informed TMZ that the decision to separate was ‘not an overnight decision’, aligning with rumors about their potential divorce that surfaced as early as December.
Back then, Cardi mentioned in a TikTok video that she had been ‘single for a minute’.
The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is reportedly seeking primary care of their two young children.
The ‘WAP’ singer had previously filed for divorce in 2020 but later reconsidered.
Fans and friends of Cardi have quickly offered their congratulations following the news of her pregnancy.
Podcaster Jason Lee commented: “So happy for you and that you are standing strong. Love you sis.”
“Congrats,” added Juicy J, while English rapper Stefflon Don wrote: “Congratulations you look beautiful.”
Additionally, one of her fans said: “Congrats baby!! You look so beautiful, safe delivery mama.”
“I’ve always seen Cardi work the hardest while pregnant,” another fan remarked. “Love this for her.”
