Cardi B has submitted legal paperwork to end her marriage with Offset, at the same time revealing that she is expecting her third child.

The rapper originally sought a divorce from Offset in 2020 but decided to reconcile. However, recent reports from Page Six have revealed that Cardi B has once again initiated divorce proceedings after six years of marriage. It has been confirmed by her representative that she is requesting primary custody of their two children, six-year-old daughter Kulture and two-year-old son Wave.

A person said that although people were talking about Offset being disloyal, the singer of "I Like It" thinks that they have drifted apart. "They have drifted apart. That's what made her decide to do this more than anything else," the person said. "This is something she wants to do."

Cardi B revealed her pregnancy news on Instagram last Thursday, August 1st. She posted a picture showing her baby bump, wearing a red ensemble paired with a stylish fur coat.

"Every time something ends, a new chapter begins! I feel thankful for spending this season with you. You have given me more love, more energy, and most importantly, reignited my strength!" She wrote in the caption.

You showed me that I can achieve everything I want! You showed me that I never have to pick between living, loving, and following my dreams! I adore you deeply and am excited for you to see what I have achieved with your support, how you have encouraged me! It may be tempting to give up when life throws challenges, but you, your brother, and your sister have demonstrated why it's important to keep going!

Offset is a father to three kids from his past relationships; his sons Jordan and Kody, aged 14 and eight respectively, and his daughter Kalea Marie, who is nine years old.

This is not the first time Cardi B has hinted that she is not in a relationship. During an Instagram Live session in December 2023, she stated that she was not dating anyone, but found it difficult to announce this news.

"I've been without a partner for a while," said the rapper. "But I have been hesitant ... Not hesitant, I just don't know how to announce it to everyone. But I feel like today has been, like, a message."

Cardi B also shared that she made it clear she was no longer in a relationship by unfollowing Offset on Instagram and sharing specific songs on her Instagram Stories.

I'm not sure if you have been picking up on hints from me, from my live videos, or from my social media posts, like when I share specific music or notice my unfollowings," she mentioned.

Not long after the couple made their first announcement about getting divorced in 2020, she appeared on The Jason Lee Show and talked about how their marriage ended because they couldn't agree on things.

"I will allow him to discuss this topic because it was the main thing weighing on me. I will let him express it himself. I believe it is important for him to share it, as it is a significant part of his personal story."

She continued by saying that Offset ended up persuading her to change her decision to get a divorce.

"What I really wanted him to do, he actually did - he stopped and made a change. It showed me that he was willing to change for me," she explained.
