Cardi B is expecting her third child.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper revealed her pregnancy in an Instagram post Thursday, cradling her belly and gazing down at it in two photos shared to her page.
The social media announcement came shortly after she filed for divorce from rapper Offset, a representative for Cardi B confirmed to NBC News.
“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!” Cardi B, 31, wrote in her caption. “Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
Cardi B and Offset, who got married in 2017, have two children: 6-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave.
Their divorce “is not based on any one particular incident, it has been a long time coming and is amicable,” a representative for Cardi B said in a statement Thursday.
Cardi B had filed for divorce from Offset in 2020, before the couple decided to reunite.
The rapper has often expressed affection for her children on social media, sharing photos and celebrating their milestones on Instagram.
Last month, she wished a happy birthday to her “beautiful, gentle, amazing daughter,” writing in an Instagram post that she has been “growing up with you cause I learned sooo much by just being your mom.”
The pregnancy news drew a wave of support from fans, who flooded her comments with congratulations and well wishes.
“It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down,” Cardi B wrote, “but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
