Cardi B and Offset share two children and three stepchildren. Cardi announced she’s expecting her third child in 2024

Cardi B and Offset are going their separate ways, but they are still embracing parenthood and being a modern family.

Together, the former couple are parents to daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 6, and son Wave Set Cephus, 3. Offset is also a father to sons Jordan Cephus, 14, and Kody Cephus, 9, and daughter Kalea Marie Cephus, 9, from previous relationships.

Cardi B announced that she and Offset called it quits during an Instagram Live in December 2023. “I’ve been single for a minute now,” she said, before adding that she’s been “afraid” of sharing the news. In July 2024, Cardi filed for divorce.

The same day her divorce news went public, Cardi shared that she is expecting again in an Instagram post, where she showed off her baby bump for the first time.

The Migos rapper previously opened up about how grateful he was for his blended family, telling Essence in April 2022, “It’s a blessing to be able to have them all together, and to have a wife who’s open and treats them as if they’re her kids,” he shared. “It could be an issue, but I don’t have to go through that, and that’s beautiful.”

Cardi also embraced her role as a stepmother. “After we got married, that’s when I first met his kids. I always wanted them to love me, and they really do. They tell me that. I feel it, and I hope that we always have a great relationship,” she said.

The former couple’s daughter, Kulture Kiari, was born on July 10, 2018, in Atlanta. Cardi announced the birth on Instagram the following day alongside a nude maternity photo.

Following months of speculation that she was expecting, the New York-born rapper had confirmed her pregnancy in April while performing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, proudly debuting her baby bump.

Cardi has not shied away from documenting Kulture’s milestones and adorable moments on social media and has even brought her daughter onstage. Alongside her three older siblings, Kulture appeared on the cover of her father’s debut solo album, aptly named “Father of 4.”

The proud parents are known for doing it big when it comes to their kids’ birthdays, and their celebration for Kulture turning 4 was no exception. In addition to an elaborate mermaid-themed bash, the rappers famously gifted the little girl with $50,000 in cash.

Despite the extravagant gift, Cardi has shared that she’s striving to ensure their kids stay humble despite their parents’ means.

“They need to know to never feel comfortable. Don’t ever feel like, ‘I’m going to get it because I’m Cardi and Offset’s kid,’ ” she told Vogue Singapore. “They are never going to know what struggle feels like, so they might not have that hunger I had to leave the streets.”

While Cardi and Offset hope their kids won’t grow up feeling too self-important, the superstar parents clearly work hard to make their daughters feel special. Offset even took Kulture and Kalea to the May 2023 premiere of The Little Mermaid, where the girls arrived in ball gowns.

Kulture wore a long black dress with floral details while her sister wore a white gown with black flowers. Both girls accessorized with a tiara. Offset shared photos of Kulture and Kalea on his Instagram page, calling them “my princesses” in the caption.

But Cardi knows that parenthood isn’t always as glamorous as it looks on the red carpet. In June 2023, Cardi opened up to PEOPLE about the challenges that come with cooking for kids. “It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or not or you’re famous or not. It’s like your kids, when they hungry, they going to be like, ‘I want it, and you got to cook it now.’ “

The busy mom noted that Kulture is a “picky” eater. “She don’t like nothing,” the rapper said, adding that some of her favorite foods are the “simple things” like chicken pasta.

In June 2023, Kulture graduated from pre-kindergarten. She was awarded the certificate for “best dance moves” and told the audience of parents and teachers that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up.

“My baby moving on up🎓I’m a emotional proud mommy🥺🖤Give me good grades and I’ll give you the world baby,” Cardi wrote on Instagram.

The following month, Cardi B shared photos and videos on Instagram from a family trip to Nickelodeon Universe at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. In the caption, she wrote about how quickly Kulture is growing up.

“My baby is five,” the proud mom wrote. “Happy birthday to my pretty princess. It’s beautiful seeing my girl grow yet makes me a lil sad that my baby is not my little baby no more.💖🎀🍰🎂5️⃣.”

“We are so overjoyed to finally meet our son,” they said in a statement shared with PEOPLE following his birth. “He is already loved so much by family and friends and we can’t wait to introduce him to his other siblings.”

Cardi first shared news of her pregnancy while onstage with her then-husband at the BET Awards in June. She joined Migos on stage for “Type S—,” wearing an embroidered bodysuit with a sheer stomach panel that exposed her bump.

In September 2022, the former couple celebrated their son’s first birthday with a race-car-themed party, where the baby boy made a grand entrance in a bedazzled ride-on truck. Offset also shared a sweet tribute to Wave on Instagram. “MY BIG WAVE IS 1 YEARS OLD TODAY I LOVE YOU BIG MAN ‼️” he wrote in the caption alongside a video of the father-son duo and a series of cute photos.

Cardi is absolutely smitten with Wave. In October 2022, she posted a photo of her son on Instagram and wrote “all mine.” The then-13-month-old little boy looked cute in a knit quarter zip, navy cargo pants and a gray beanie.

On Nov. 17, 2022, Cardi showed off her love for Wave by displaying a new tattoo on her Instagram Story. In the photo, she held back her hair to reveal Wave’s first name written in red-brown letters along her jawline.

Cardi shared more photos of Wave on her Instagram Story in February 2023. The rapper included one cute picture of Wave sitting on a couch in his pajamas, which she captioned, “My 1 year old.”

She also shared an adorable picture of Wave in the bathtub, writing, “He so handsome,” over the photo.

Cardi B’s Baby on the Way

In August 2024, Cardi announced that she is expecting her third baby one day after filing for divorce from Offset for the second time. She shared the news by posting photos in a red dress that showed off her baby bump on Instagram,

“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!” she wrote in her caption. “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!”

Cardi continued, “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!”

Offset’s oldest child, Jordan, was born on Dec. 21, 2009, to a woman from a previous relationship.

In “Father of 4,” the track on his debut solo album of the same name, Offset addressed becoming a young father to Jordan: “I was 17 years old when I had you / Tryna find my soul when I had you / I was oh so broke when I had you / Locked up down the road when I had you / Jordan, sorry I wasn’t there for all your birthdays / I tried to hit, and I wasn’t rich, I had no workplace.”

In a 2019 cover story for Haute Living, the Atlanta-born rapper also explained that he’s learned a lot since welcoming his first child. “The journey of fatherhood was kind of tough for me at first. I was trying to find myself. I didn’t have much direction on what it meant to be a father. I definitely made some mistakes, but I have no regrets.”

Jordan was on hand to celebrate his little brother Wave’s birthday in September 2022, where he coordinated with Cardi, Offset and his four siblings in matching floral-printed outfits. “My HEARTS ♥️,” Cardi captioned a snap from the day.

Offset later shared with PEOPLE how important it was to him that all of his children were there for the big day.

“It was just mandatory [they all attended],” he said. “Luckily, I’m blessed with a beautiful wife that’s accepted my kids as hers and family, so it’s always mandatory.”

The “Ric Flair Drip” rapper continued, “It’s mandatory they all celebrate with each other and grow up with each other because they love each other. They talk to each other on the phone all the time and it’s just beautiful. My mom has two other kids and I grew up with my brothers and know them all — it’s just the same thing.”

Later that year, Offset was sure to celebrate Jordan’s 13th birthday as well. On Dec. 20, 2022, the rapper posted a sweet tribute on Instagram which included photos of him with Jordan throughout the years as well as snaps of the boy with his siblings.

“Can’t believe I have a 13yr old. My first born, my King,” Offset wrote in the caption. “You turned me into a man at 17. I love you son.”

Kody has expressed an interest in music like his famous father, debuting a rap at age 6 called “Lamb Truck” in a video posted on Offset’s Instagram, where Kody danced and sang along to his track with his sister Kalea.

In September 2022, Offset spoke to PEOPLE about how he makes time to prioritize his kids while balancing his busy career, noting that his children’s milestones always come first.

“Being a father’s important to me personally,” he said. “For instance, there’s a big party on Saturday, right? In Los Angeles. And my son Kody’s first football game is on Sunday. There’s no way I’m missing either event, so I’m going to have to make it work. It’s priority to me.”

The proud dad later posted a photo of him and Kody from the boy’s first football game on Sept. 11.

Offset shares his older daughter Kalea Marie, born on March 23, 2015, with rapper Shya L’amour.

In his song “Father of 4,” the Grammy nominee openly rapped about missing out on the early years of Kalea’s life: “Kalea, you my first, first daughter / I missed the first years of your life, I’m sorry / Tell the truth, I ain’t really know if I was your father / Tell the truth, I really don’t even know your mama.”

Luckily, his relationship has since improved with his daughter, and L’amour even gave credit to Cardi for helping Offset “grow tremendously.”

“She loves him … they’re really good now, he has stepped up and he has been around as of lately to show her that affection she needs, that parental love,” L’amour said of her daughter and Offset in a video message shared by TMZ. “A mother can’t do that for a father. I think [Cardi] has helped him grow tremendously. Since he’s been with her, I’ve seen a lot of growth.” L’amour also noted that Cardi has embraced Kalea and has “a really good heart.”

Kalea posed alongside her siblings for the family’s Essence cover, where she was photographed wearing coordinating pink gowns with Cardi and sister Kulture in one snap. Cardi also discussed how her favorite times are when Kalea and her siblings are all together under one roof. “When they leave, it is like a big sadness,” she explained.
