Cardi B welcomes third child with Offset amid divorce proceedings

Cardi B has welcomed her third child with estranged husband Offset, even as the couple continues to move forward with their divorce.

The 31-year-old rapper shared the happy news with fans, posting a series of candid photos from the delivery room. The images featured the couple's newborn baby girl alongside Cardi's older children, daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 3.

In one touching moment, Kulture is seen cradling her new baby sister, while Offset, 32, tenderly holds the infant. Although the couple has yet to reveal their daughter's name, the arrival has added joy to what has been a challenging time for their relationship.

Cardi also shared personal snapshots from the labor, including a photo of herself breastfeeding her newborn.

Offset, now a father of six with four different women, has children from previous relationships: Jordan, 15, with Justine Watson; Kody, 9, with Oriel Jamie; and Kalea, 9, with Shya L'Amour.

Divorce still on the table

Despite the heartwarming family moments, reports suggest that Cardi and Offset are continuing with their divorce plans.

The couple was recently seen together at DreamWorks Water Park in New Jersey to celebrate Wave's third birthday, demonstrating their commitment to amicable co-parenting.

Sources close to the couple revealed that they have made it a priority to be present for their children, despite their personal issues.

Cardi first filed for divorce from Offset in August, just a day before announcing her pregnancy. This marks the second time she has initiated divorce proceedings-the first was in 2020, but the couple reconciled two months later.

According to sources who spoke with People, the decision to divorce had been discussed for some time and wasn't the result of any specific incident.

While rumors of infidelity swirled, a representative for Cardi confirmed that the split was not based on cheating but had been building over time. The source added that Cardi remains calm and focused, especially as she adjusts to life as a mother of three.

Despite their separation, both Cardi and Offset are committed to maintaining a positive relationship for the sake of their children. Those close to Cardi say that her friends simply want her to find happiness as she navigates this next chapter in her life.
