Just when fans thought they'd seen all the twists and turns in Cardi B's personal life, the 31-year-old rapper dropped a bombshell: she's expecting her third child with Offset — even as news of their second divorce filing hit the headlines.

On Thursday, August 1, Cardi B took to Instagram to share the news. "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!"

"Reminded me that I can have it all! You've reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! 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!" Cardi B said concluding her post.

Enthusiastic fans and followers flooded the comments section in an outpouring of love and support. "So happy for you and that you are standing strong. Love you sis," affirmed one person while another declared, "No matter what the media has to say, Cardi B is a great mother." Happy wishes for the expecting mom just kept pouring in, "Congratulations Beautiful."

The buzz wasn't confined to Instagram alone. A Cardi B fan account shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), where the conversation expanded. "Now I see why she's mad and filing for divorce... again. Cheating on your pregnant wife (and being careless enough to not cover your tracks) is the lowest of low," one user commented. Others focused on the positive, "Congratulations motherrrrr!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭❤️ I'm so happy for her fr!😭"

Cardi B, mother to 6-year-old Kulture Kiari and 2-year-old Wave Set, is reportedly seeking primary custody of her kids with Offset, 32. The rapper, whose real name is Kiara Kendrell Cephus, also fathers three children from previous relationships.
