Cardi B officially announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with her third baby on August 1.
Later, the rapper, on August 4, wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "I'm so happy y'all know that I'm (pregnant emoji) now I can stop wearing those deum [sic] school girl skirts lmaoooooo."
For quite some time, the 31-year-old has had to wear clothing such as high-waisted miniskirts to keep the secret.
Just a day prior to this announcement, the WAP singer filed for divorce from her husband of six years, Offset.
A representative for Cardi B provided further clarification of the situation,
"It’s not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming," they told PEOPLE referring to the recent incident when Offset caused quite the stir with his choice of words when was spotted with a woman in a casino who was claimed to be his ex-girlfriend.
Sources have revealed that the decision was not made overnight and that the couple had “grown apart”. Cardi B now seeks primary custody of her children, Wave Set and Kulture Kiari.
