Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has been nothing short of a whirlwind. From secret weddings to public breakups, infidelity scandals, and now, a second divorce filing while Cardi is pregnant with their third child, their marriage has been a toxic rollercoaster. Despite all the drama, they’ve continued to have one of the most talked-about relationships in Hollywood — but the cracks are starting to show, and it seems like Cardi B has finally had enough.
In this post, we’re diving into the messy details of Cardi B and Offset’s troubled marriage, looking at the cheating rumors, their public ups and downs, and how Cardi is handling their second divorce while pregnant with baby number three.
A Quick Romance: Secret Weddings and Public Drama
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship moved incredibly fast from the start. They first met in 2016, and by February 2017, they went on their first date. But Hollywood isn’t known for taking things slow, and just a few months later, rumors were swirling that they were engaged. Cardi denied it at first, but in September 2017, they shocked the world when they secretly got married — with no big ceremony or announcement. They kept the marriage under wraps for nearly a year, explaining that they just wanted to keep the moment to themselves.
However, just a month after their secret wedding, Cardi posted a selfie with the caption “single,” which sent fans into a frenzy. She quickly backtracked, explaining that she had been upset and “exaggerated” her feelings. This back-and-forth behavior was just the beginning of the tumultuous relationship that would follow.
Cheating Scandals and Public Humiliation
By 2018, their marriage was already in trouble. Offset’s iCloud was hacked, and videos surfaced showing him with another woman. This scandal hit just around the time Cardi was celebrating their anniversary, and it wasn’t the first time infidelity had reared its ugly head in their relationship.
Cardi, who was pregnant with their first child at the time, faced a tough decision. Despite the betrayal, she chose to stick by Offset, publicly stating that people handle cheating in different ways. She admitted that it wasn’t right for him to cheat, but she wasn’t ready to walk away just yet. This was a moment where many fans questioned why Cardi would forgive him, but she chose to stay and work through their issues.
They welcomed their first daughter, Kulture, in July 2018, but by December of that same year, their relationship was on the rocks again. Cardi announced they were separated, though she explained that they were still friends and business partners. Offset took to Twitter to apologize for his actions, calling himself a “selfish” husband and admitting to his mistakes. But instead of accepting his apology, Cardi appeared exhausted by the constant drama and just wanted peace.
Makeups and Breakups: A Cycle of Infidelity
In 2019, despite the public fallout, Cardi and Offset reconciled. Cardi explained in an interview that they prayed together and came to a mutual understanding. She made it clear that for her, monogamy was non-negotiable. Offset promised he would never cheat again, but it didn’t take long for the cycle to repeat itself.
By 2021, the couple welcomed their second child, a son named Wave, but the peace didn’t last long. Offset accused Cardi of cheating on him, a claim he later retracted. He admitted he was jealous and acted out of emotion during an argument. This only highlighted the toxic dynamic in their relationship. Both Cardi and Offset seemed to constantly test each other’s boundaries, and their public disputes were becoming harder to ignore.
The Second Divorce Filing: Cardi B Says “Enough is Enough”
In 2023, after years of infidelity and drama, Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset for the second time — this time while pregnant with their third child. The timing was shocking, but for those who have followed their relationship, it felt like it was inevitable. Reports claim that Offset has been cheating on Cardi for most of their marriage, but Cardi stayed silent for the sake of their children. However, after years of humiliation, she’s finally had enough.
In a powerful Instagram Live, Cardi expressed her frustrations, saying, “I’ve really been sparing you… you’ve been feeling yourself, doing me dirty after so many years.” She went on to explain how tiring it was to deal with the constant drama and how she was finally putting herself and her children first. For Cardi, this was no longer about trying to make things work; it was about taking control of her life and ending the toxic cycle.
More Scandals: Sweetie, Chaney Rock, and Offset’s Denial
Even as Cardi tried to move forward, rumors of Offset’s infidelities kept coming. In December 2023, it was alleged that Offset had been involved with rapper Sweetie. Before that, there were whispers of his relationship with Chaney Rock, Blueface’s ex. Offset, of course, denied all these allegations, but this constant cycle of cheating rumors only added fuel to the fire. Cardi, clearly exhausted by it all, went live again to address the situation.
“I really been sparing you, you’ve been feeling yourself, doing me dirty… and I’m just upset,” she vented. She was tired of having her life and relationship played out in public, and at this point, she was more than ready to move on.
The Pregnancy Announcement: Is She Staying or Leaving?
Despite filing for divorce, Cardi announced that she was pregnant with their third child in July 2024. The timing of her pregnancy amidst their second divorce filing raised questions about what was really going on behind closed doors. Cardi seemed to suggest that the pregnancy was a new chapter for her, and while she had separated from Offset, she wasn’t ruling out the possibility of reconciling again. She said, “If I decide to work things out, that’s a regular relationship… but when I go to the extreme, like filing for divorce, I’m teaching him a lesson.”
Whether this pregnancy means a fresh start or another attempt at reconciliation remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Cardi B is done being embarrassed and manipulated by Offset. She’s finally taking control of her life, and whatever happens next, she’s ready to make the decisions that are best for her and her children.
What’s Next for Cardi and Offset?
After seven years together and two divorce filings, it’s hard to see how Cardi and Offset could have a future together. The constant infidelity, public humiliation, and emotional toll have clearly worn Cardi down, and many fans are rooting for her to fully move on and find happiness elsewhere.
That being said, the reality of their situation is complicated. They share children together, and the co-parenting dynamic will likely continue to keep them in each other’s lives for the foreseeable future. But Cardi deserves peace and happiness — something that seems impossible to achieve when your partner continues to betray your trust.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens next in Cardi B and Offset’s drama-filled relationship, but for now, Cardi is putting herself first. Whether she chooses to work things out with Offset or moves on for good, one thing is certain: she’s done tolerating his mess, and she’s not afraid to make tough decisions for the sake of her happiness and her family.
