Breaking News: Cardi B is PREGNANT with third child: Rapper, 31, confirms she’s expecting just as she files for divorce from Offset again amid cheating rumors On Her… Read More
Cardi B has confirmed that she is pregnant with her third child, the same day it was revealed she has once again filed for divorce from on/off husband Offset.
Rumors of her pregnancy had been rife after the 31-year-old rapper was seen sporting a huge bump while filming a secret project in New York City.
In her announcement, posted to Instagram on Thursday, the rapper displayed her baby bump in a deeply plunging red gown as she posed on a balcony at night.
The divorce filing came following rumors Offset had cheated on Cardi, which he denied.
Cardi – who noticeably did not mention or tag her estranged husband Offset in the post – wrote in the caption: ‘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 already has daughter Kulture, five, and a son, Wave, two, with Offset.
A source told Page Six the infidelity rumors were not what sparked the divorce filing.
‘They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,’ an insider told Page Six. ‘This is something she wants to do.’
The reports come just one day after Offset denied he was unfaithful.
On Thursday, Offset denied that he was cheating after Instagram account Ig Model Tea Room posted a video of him sitting next to a woman called PrettyRedz at a casino, whom they claimed was his ex-girlfriend.
Shawty ain’t my shawty,’ the 32-year-old Style Rare rapper – who boasts 37.5M social media followers – responded via Instagram Live.
‘People really need to do the research… I’m at a public place gambling at a casino with a married 8 month pregnant woman. [What the f***] I look like being outside publicly cheating [shaking my head!’ he said during an Instagram Live.
Offset’s (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus) vehement denial of the cheating rumors wound up confusing people into thinking he was referring to his wife as pregnant, which her rep quickly denied to TMZ on Wednesday.
PrettyRedz is actually seven months pregnant with the child of her late husband Kyng Rocky, who tragically passed away on June 18.
She too denied the cheating rumors, commenting on a post about the matter for The Neighborhood Talk: ‘SMH that man wasn’t with me i was already there wit my husband sister& brother and I’m 7 months pregnant… y’all really have to stop with this type of behavior.’
She also wrote on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday: ‘It’s completely crazy that I even have to do this! Please! If not for me, please respect my late husband! I am just beginning to grieve! Having a night out with my family is definitely not an opportunity for click bait!’
I am carrying the last gift my husband will give this Earth! All I want is peace! If [you’re] looking for a story, there is nothing to see here! Please respect all families involved. Y’all make up things not caring about the impact! Please stop. I’m pregnant as well! You people are sick [as f***] out here [shaking my head].’
Cardi and Offset allegedly separated again last November, but they put on a strong united front at Disneyland Paris with their children on July 9.
While gracing the cover of Rolling Stone’s June issue, she spoke about their relationship and what attracted her to him
