Cardi B is officially a mom of three! The 31-year-old “WAP” rapper revealed on Thursday that she welcomed her third child on Saturday, September 7. Cardi shared the joyous news on Instagram, posting a carousel of photos that show her cradling and breastfeeding her newborn in the hospital.
In her post, Cardi wrote, “The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸,” introducing her baby to the world.
Cardi first announced her pregnancy last month through an Instagram post, where she posed on a balcony while cradling her baby bump. The same day, it was confirmed that she had filed for divorce from her husband, Offset, who also appears in the latest Instagram pictures, along with their newborn.
“With every ending comes a new beginning!” Cardi wrote in her initial pregnancy announcement. “I am so grateful to have shared this season with you. You’ve brought me more love, more life, and most of all, renewed my power! You’ve reminded me that I can have it all and never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
She added, “I love you so much and can’t wait for you to see what you’ve helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! Life’s twists, turns, and tests are easier to handle with you, your brother, and your sister showing me it’s worth pushing through!”
Cardi B and Offset, who married in 2017, have had an on-again, off-again relationship over the years. In December, Cardi shared with fans during an Instagram Live that she had been “single for a minute.” The couple previously welcomed two children together: daughter Kulture in 2018 and son Wave in 2021.
