A look inside Cardi B and Offset’s ‘tumultuous’ relationship pattern
Cardi B swears that she and husband Offset are done despite their recent meeting – but several insiders say that may not be the case.
“Cardi says she’s done with Offset even after their New Year’s Eve date, but friends aren’t convinced,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of We weekly. “This is a pattern with them. He’s a serial cheater. She turns around, but then runs straight back to him.
Cardi, 31, confirmed in a December 2023 livestream that she was single for “a minute” after splitting from Offset, 32. “I am curious about a new life, about a new beginning,” she added. “I’m excited.”
However, weeks later she told fans that she and Offset reunited on New Year’s Eve. “Was I hanging out with my baby daddy yesterday?” Yes. Was I brought down yesterday? Absolutely, baby,” Cardi revealed during a Jan. 1 live chat on X (formerly Twitter). “I need some d–k on New Year’s Eve. I feel like we were shaking yesterday. We had a good time.”
Cardi noted at the time that she and Offset still haven’t reconciled, but a second source says Us that the ‘Bongos’ rapper is willing to give their relationship another chance. “She’s hoping for the kids’ sake that they can make it work,” the insider says, referring to Cardi and Offset’s two children, daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2.
While Cardi may be ready to rekindle her romance with Offset, the second insider notes that her friends are still concerned that Offset hasn’t changed. “He cheated on her several times,” the source said Us. “Friends remind her that history has a tendency to repeat itself.”
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has been a whirlwind with a secret wedding, a cheating scandal, and two children together. The rappers tied the knot in September 2017 after their first date at Super Bowl LI in Houston in February of that year. They announced in July 2017 that they were expecting a baby […]
A third source has now told us Us that Cardi and Offset’s latest breakup “feels different” than their previous breakup. “Cardi’s inner circle believes she and Offset are done for good,” the insider explains, noting that the duo still thinks they will “always be in each other’s lives.”
The pair, who tied the knot in 2017, briefly split in 2018 after Offset cheated on Cardi. After they reconciled, Cardi filed for divorce in 2020, but she later called it quits and withdrew her filing.
According to the first source, the couple’s latest split came after Cardi discovered Offset was unfaithful again. Despite his infidelity, some of the couple’s friends think Cardi would only draw the line if Offset, who has three other children from previous relationships, fathered a child with another woman.
Whether or not their romance is over for good, the third source notes that Cardi and Offset will “always” put their kids first. “They want to maintain a positive and healthy relationship.”
