In August 2024, Page Six published an exclusive report stating that rapper Cardi B had filed for divorce from her husband Offset. However, their marriage has not been officially dissolved. Meanwhile, Cardi recently gave birth to a baby boy whom she shares with NFL player Stefon Diggs.

Meanwhile, according to an X post by ‘@FearedBuck,’ Offset could still be considered the father of the newborn child as per the conditions of Georgia Law. The post read:

“According to Georgia law, Offset could still be considered the legal father of Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ newborn because he and Cardi B are still married.”

As per Georgia Law, irrespective of who the biological father is, as long as the mother is legally married, the husband is considered the father of the child. However, Stefon Diggs can file for legitimation over the child to be considered the putative father.

On November 13, Cardi B shared an Instagram post, sharing the news of her new baby. She wrote:

“Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”

She further wrote that she had started working on her body and getting in shape for her next tour. She looked forward to giving her fans the best of what they deserve.


An insider says that Cardi B and Offset had drifted apart

According to the exclusive Page Six report, when Cardi B filed for legal separation, she sought full custody of her children. At the time, rumors floated that Offset had cheated on her, but that’s not what an insider essentially claims. As per their statement:

“They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else. This is something she wants to do.”

Moreover, the divorce filing did not surprise Offset as they had reportedly been trying to figure out their marriage and future. The insider added:

“It’s not something that happened overnight … They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t [pushback]. They’ve grown apart and that feeling has gotten stronger over time. It’s become unavoidable.”

They also said:

“She has no ill will towards him. She’s wishing him the best. She’s not going into this next season [of her life] with any beef or any drama. She wants everything to be very peaceful.”

There had been multiple times during their marriage when they had decided to call off their relationship. For instance, in 2018, they announced an amicable split. Then, two years later, Cardi B first initiated divorce proceedings. At the time, she said she was done with constant arguments.
