Cardi B and Offset have had an on-again, off-again relationship since marrying in 2017. In an Instagram live in December, Cardi B confirmed that she and Offset had split and that she had been "single for a minute now." She appeared to be responding to rumors that Offset cheated on her, which he denied.

"I just don't know how to tell the world," Cardi B said in her Instagram live. "But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn't know how to tell you, so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now."

She continued, "I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open. I don't know. I'm curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I'm excited."

Cardi B previously filed for divorce from Offset in September 2020.

"I'm OK," she told fans on Instagram at the time. "I want to let y'all know I have not shed not one tear."

A month later, she confirmed that she and Offset were together again. They welcomed a second child together, Wave, in 2021. They also share daughter Kulture, whom they welcomed in 2018.

In an interview with Rolling Stone published in May, Cardi B said that she and Offset "do love each other."

"It's not even about love," she said. "We're best friends. And it's like, 'OK. Well, there was a time that I didn't have a best friend, or I didn't have a support system.' It’s not even about 'How do you leave a partner?' How do you stop talking to your best friend?"
