Cardi B has joyfully announced the arrival of her third child with rapper Offset, just weeks after the pair filed for divorce. On September 12th, the Grammy-winning artist shared a touching Instagram post, introducing their newborn to the world.
In a heartwarming photo carousel, Cardi B is seen beaming from her hospital bed, cradling the baby while donning a vibrant robe. Several images also feature Offset, her estranged husband, affectionately holding the couple’s new addition. Despite filing for divorce in July, the pair appear to be on good terms as they celebrate the birth of their child together.
“The prettiest lil thing 9/7/24,” Cardi captioned the post, expressing her joy at welcoming the newborn.

This latest arrival makes the couple a family of five, joining their two other children—son Wave, 3, and daughter Kulture, 6. The Instagram post also includes a sweet moment where Kulture holds her new baby sister, with Cardi smiling lovingly at her two daughters. The family’s bond shines through, even amid personal challenges.
Cardi B had first announced her pregnancy just a few weeks earlier, in early August, through an Instagram post featuring her in a red dress, proudly showing off her baby bump. At the time, the “I Like It” singer shared an emotional message to her followers, reflecting on the journey ahead.
“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!” Cardi wrote. She went on to express gratitude for the balance between her personal life, career, and family, stating, “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
Cardi’s announcement of her pregnancy came just a day after the news of her divorce filing from Offset. A representative for the rapper confirmed the split, noting that it was not due to infidelity, but rather had been a decision long in the making.
As Cardi B and Offset continue to co-parent their children, the birth of their third child marks a bittersweet moment in their journey as both parents and partners.
