However, let’s just say there were signs leading up to the split.
As fans of both Cardi and Offset will know, the couple first became an item in 2017.
It’s an adorable sentiment, to be sure.
However, the honeymoon period was short-lived.
The same month they confirmed their romance, Cardi claimed in a now-deleted Instagram post that she was single.
Cardi followed up witha postdeclaring her love for Offset.
Heartbreakingly, though, they still weren’t able to have their happily ever after.
In January 2018, Cardi took to X to acknowledge that Offset had indeed cheated on her.
In the since-deleted post, she noted that what he’d done was wrong.
“This s*** happens to everyone,” she wrote (viaPeople).
The following month, she expanded on that sentiment in an interview withCosmopolitan.
I know I look good, I know I’m rich, I know I’m talented.
I know I could get any man I want … That’s not to say Offset got off scot-free, though.
By the end of the year, though, they’d separated.
As such, the “Be Careful” rapper wasn’t expecting a speedy divorce.
Offset’s response wasn’t quite as measured.
However, Offset wasn’t done just yet.
He also took to Instagram to plead with her to give it another spin.
In the since-deleted video, he apologized for embarrassing her and breaking his vows.
He also hinted that there may have been more infidelity on his side.
Who says romance is dead?
In early 2019,TMZreported that the two were firmly back on.
The reasoning for Cardi’s change of heart?
Despite what seemed like months of marital bliss, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset that September.
It seems the aforementioned infidelities didn’t have anything to do with the split.
I got tired of not seeing things eye to eye …
Nothing crazy out of this world happened.
Sometimes people really do f***ing grow apart.
I’ve been with this man for four years" (viaElite Daily).
“It’s hard not to talk to your best friend.
It’s really hard not to talk to your best friend,” shesaid, per Billboard.
Of course, Offset andCardi welcomed their first sonin 2021.
In an Instagram Story, Offset claimed Cardi had been unfaithful.
While he deleted it not long after, Cardi wasted no time debunking the claim.
“I’m f***ing Cardi B …
I think sometimes motherf***ers forget.
If I was giving this p**** to anybody it be not just anybody.
Can’t f*** regular-degular-schmegular, ‘cause they gonna tell the world.
Cardi ended her rant by telling Offset to quit with the accusations.
“Stop acting stupid … Don’t play with me.
What the f***.
That’s all I’m gonna motherf***ing say,” she said.
Either way, Cardi filed for divorce for a second time in August 2024.
Quite the opposite, actually.
However, it’s safe to say Cardi wasn’t intimidated by his attempts at calling her out.
You was gonna f*** them anyways.”
“It’s crazy that …
The rapper added that she regretted ever being with Offset.
There was one caveat, though:Cardi’s kids, for whom she’s insanely grateful.
