Cardi B is beaming with joy after the arrival of her third child. The Bodak Yellow rapper took to Instagram on Thursday, September 12, to share the exciting news that she gave birth to her baby girl on September 7. The heartfelt post featured a series of intimate photos and videos, offering fans a glimpse into the precious moments after the birth.
In the photo gallery, Cardi can be seen holding her newborn daughter, who is dressed in all pink, and even breastfeeding her for the first time. Other touching moments include Cardi snuggling with her baby in bed and sharing tender kisses. Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset, who she recently filed for divorce from, also makes an appearance in the photos, holding their new bundle of joy alongside their two other children—daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 3—both of whom are pictured lovingly welcoming their new sibling.
The gallery also included a snapshot of Cardi in the delivery room, her emotions visible as she tears up during labor. In another heartwarming image, her sister Hennessy holds the newborn, further capturing the love and support of Cardi’s family.
Cardi captioned the post, “The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖,” and fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulatory messages. Many admired how radiant Cardi looked post-birth, with one fan remarking, “Ain’t no way you should look that good after giving birth 😍 Congrats beautiful.” Another fan added, “The media can say what they want about Cardi B, but she is a great mother.”
Cardi first announced her third pregnancy on Instagram on August 1, donning a red gown that accentuated her growing baby bump. In her post, she expressed her gratitude for the journey of motherhood, writing, “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you… you’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion.”
The joyful news comes shortly after Cardi filed for divorce from Offset, her husband of six years. This isn’t the first time the couple has been on the brink of separation—Cardi had filed for divorce in 2020 but later called it off. This time, however, reports suggest that Cardi is seeking primary custody of their children, though she has stated that she won’t be asking Offset for child support. “My claim is for him to only pay for the bills he already pays on the kids and the new one,” she clarified on Instagram.
Despite the complexities in their relationship, Cardi and Offset continue to co-parent. Just days before the birth of their third child, the couple celebrated their son Wave’s third birthday, albeit separately. Offset posted a tribute to Wave on Instagram, calling him “God’s greatest gift,” while Cardi shared photos from Wave’s life, reminiscing about the joy of having a son.
As Cardi B and Offset navigate this new chapter in their relationship, fans are thrilled to see the rapper embracing motherhood with so much love and joy. With three children now in tow, Cardi continues to balance her successful music career with her deep dedication to her family.
