Offset publicly proposed to Cardi B at Power 99’s Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia on October 27, 2017, presenting her with a diamond ring reportedly worth $500,000. But the couple had already secretly married on September 20, a detail fans would not learn until the following year.

Their early marriage was soon overshadowed by infidelity allegations against Offset. Despite public criticism, Cardi chose to work through their problems. In a 2018 interview with Cosmopolitan, she defended her right to make that decision, acknowledging that neither partner was perfect. She also challenged her critics with a pointed question: “Since when are all these women dating pastors and deacons?”

In the years that followed, the couple shared affectionate messages, lavish gifts, and family milestones, including the arrival of their daughter, Kulture, in July 2018. Behind those public displays of love, however, their relationship continued to face difficulties. On September 15, 2020, Cardi filed for divorce after nearly three years of marriage.

The separation was short-lived. They reconciled the following month, with Offset gifting Cardi a customized Rolls-Royce for her 28th birthday. She withdrew the divorce petition in November. In September 2021, they welcomed their second child, a son named Wave.

On July 31, 2024, Cardi filed for divorce again. Although renewed cheating rumors were circulating, her representative said the decision was not based on those rumors and had been a long time coming. The following day, Cardi announced that she was expecting their third child, adding another chapter to their complicated relationship.
