Cardi B and Offset are no strangers to putting their marriage in the spotlight — the good and the bad. The couple secretly tied the knot in Atlanta, Georgia on Sept. 20, 2017. The wedding was super under wraps and reportedly occurred in an apartment owned by Cardi’s cousin. Ironically, Cardi claimed she was single that fall. The news of their marriage was not revealed until June 2018, which Cardi confirmed in a post on Twitter.
“There are so many moments that I share with the world and then there are moments that I want to keep for myself! Getting married was one of those moments! she began in the June 25, 2018 post. “Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing up to do but we was so in love we didn’t want to lose each other.”Was one morning in September we woke up and decided to get married,” she continued. “We found someone to marry us, and she did, just the two of us and my cousin. I said I do, with no dress, no makeup and no ring!”
“I appreciate and love my husband so much for still wanting for me have that special moment that every girl dreams of when he got down on his knee and put a ring on my finger and he did that for me!!” the “Up” rapper added. “Well now since you lil nosey f**** know at least ya can stop saying I had a baby out of wedlock.” Cardi and the Migos rapper had their first child together, a daughter named Kulture, in July 2018. Their son, Wave, made his debut in Sept. 2021.
The pair have endured their fair share of marital woes in public, including two divorce filings and multiple cheating allegations. Sadly, Cardi confirmed that the couple split on December 10, 2023. Read on for a timeline of Cardi B and Offset’s relationship: Their highs, their lows, and everything in between.
Offset (née Kiari Kendrell Cephus) is an American rapper and songwriter from Atlanta, Ga. He’s best known for being 1/3 of the hip-hop trio Migos, which included his cousins, Quavo and Takeoff. Unfortunately, Takeoff was shot and killed in Nov. 2022. In addition to his music ventures, Offset has appeared in a few television series (including Donald Glover‘s Atlanta), he’s modeled in fashion campaigns, and as of 2019, he became an investor in the Esports organization FaZe Clan. Along with Kulture and Wave, Offset has three other children from previous relationships.
It’s believed that Cardi and Offset met sometime in late 2016. Offset shed light on their beginnings during a Jan. 2018 profile with Rolling Stone, when he revealed that he initiated a dinner date in Cardi’s native New York through their publicists. “The couple met about a year ago at Offset’s insistence – while he watched her rise as an artist, his interest grew, then exploded,” the Rolling Stone profile read. “I was like, ‘Damn, I am on her!’ ” Offset recalled. “I am like, ‘S***, I like Cardi B!’
Some would argue that Cardi and Offset’s first official public date was in Feb. 2017, at Super Bowl LI (51) in Houston. The two were photographed holding hands at the big game, which Cardi previously said was the point when their relationship became serious.
