Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B shared an emotional Instagram post, accompanied by a photo of herself visibly pregnant, revealing she is expecting her third child with husband Offset, a day after filing for divorce after six years of marriage.

“With every ending comes a new beginning!” Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, wrote. “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!”

The 31-year-old rapper continued, expressing excitement for the future: “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 tests laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

The couple, who married in a secret ceremony in September 2017, share two children: daughter Kulture Kiari, 6, and son Wave Set, 2½.

According to a representative for Cardi B, the decision to divorce was not based on cheating rumors, but rather had “been a long time coming.” Cardi B is reportedly seeking primary custody of their children.

Cardi B and Offset, 32, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, have had a highly publicized relationship filled with ups and downs. They briefly split in December 2018 following allegations of infidelity against Offset but reconciled shortly after.
