Cardi B is living her best life.

Hours after the Grammy winner, who is mom to daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 2, filed for divorce from husband Offset, she revealed that she's pregnant with her third child.

"With every ending comes a new beginning!" she wrote on Instagram Aug. 1. "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!"

She added, "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!"

The rapper duo started their journey together in 2017 with a memorable first date at the 2018 Super Bowl in Houston.

Just a few months after seeing the Philadelphia Eagles take home the trophy, they secretly tied the knot on a spontaneous September morning at home, although it wasn’t until eight months later that the Bronx native confirmed her new status as a married woman online.

"There are so many moments that I share with the world and there are moments that I want to keep for myself! Getting married was one of those moments," the 31-year-old wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in June 2018, while expecting daughter Kulture. “Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing to do but we was so in love we didn't want to lose each other."

A month after their private ceremony, Offset, 32, got down on one knee to make sure his new wife got the full engagement experience. “I appreciate and love my husband so much for still wanting for me have that special moment that every girl dreams of when he got down on his knee and put a ring on my finger and he did that for me,” she wrote in her Twitter post. “Well now since you lil nosey f--ks know at least ya can stop saying I had a baby out of wedlock.”

Because the ”Bodak Yellow” rapper went big when announcing her first pregnancy, revealing her bump to the world while performing on Saturday Night Live in April 2018.

The announcement of their second baby was no less extravagant, as Cardi took to the 2021 BET Awards stage mere minutes after posting a picture of herself rocking the baby bump on Instagram with the caption, “#2!” Her custom Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit featured peak-a-boo material and a cut-out that was perfectly placed in the center of her outfit.

But while their family has grown, their relationship has hit more than a few bumps, the pair splitting for the first time in December 2018 and going on to makeup and breakup several more times. Most recently, Cardi confirmed she was single in December 2023, only to then reveal that they hooked up on New Year’s Eve.

Asked about plans to legally end their marriage, Cardi noted how deeply she cherishes their relationship and that Offset was the first partner to really uplift her as her “cheerleader.”

“It’s not even about love,” she told Rolling Stone in a May 2024 interview. “We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

However, by August, she again filed for divorce to end their nearly seven-year marriage.
