In a dramatic turn of events, Cardi B has once again filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Offset. The news was confirmed on Wednesday by a representative for the rapper, as reported by Page Six.
While the representative refrained from providing further details, insiders reveal that Cardi B is pursuing primary custody of their children and is resolute in her decision this time. The latest cheating allegations against Offset did not solely influence Cardi’s choice, according to a source close to the situation.
“The decision to divorce was driven more by their growing apart rather than recent rumors,” the source disclosed. “This is a step Cardi feels she must take.”
The couple, who have faced continuous speculation regarding Offset’s fidelity since their marriage began, have seen their relationship strained by numerous rumors. Recently, Offset was spotted with a former flame, which he publicly denied, adding fuel to the ongoing speculation.
Cardi B, 31, and Offset, 32, share two children: daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2. Cardi’s primary focus during the divorce proceedings is securing primary custody of their children. There have also been rumors of Cardi expecting a third child, although she has not confirmed or addressed these speculations publicly.
Sources indicate that Offset was not surprised by the divorce filing. The couple had been contemplating their future together for some time, and the separation was a mutual decision rather than an abrupt development.
“This is not an overnight change. Both have been aligned on the direction of their relationship for a while now,” the insider explained. “They’ve grown apart, and that sentiment has intensified, making the separation inevitable.”
Married since September 2017, Cardi and Offset have faced several splits during their marriage, including a notable instance in 2020 when Cardi first filed for divorce but later reconciled. Cardi has been open about their tumultuous relationship on social media, including a 2023 Instagram post where she reflected on outgrowing relationships and prioritizing herself.
As Cardi B embarks on this new chapter, a source close to her emphasizes her desire for a peaceful transition. “She harbors no ill will towards Offset and wishes him the best. Her focus is on moving forward without any drama or conflict,” the source concluded.
