Cardi B is going to be a mom again!

The “I Like It” rapper, 31, is pregnant and expecting her third baby, the singer confirmed on Instagram on Thursday, Aug. 1.

“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!” Cardi wrote in her caption alongside a few photos of herself in a red dress, baring her belly. “Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!”

“It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!” she concluded her post.

Cardi’s pregnancy announcement comes one day after she filed for divorce from husband Offset, 32, after six years of marriage, a representative for the “Bodak Yellow” rapper confirmed to PEOPLE. “It’s not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming,” the rep said.

The outlet reported that Cardi B, 31, is seeking primary custody of their children together, son Wave Set, 2½, and daughter Kulture Kiari, 6. The divorce filing was not publicly available at press time.

Offset is also a father to sons Jordan, 14, and Kody, 8, and daughter Kalea Marie, 9, from previous relationships.

During an Instagram Live in December 2023, Cardi first confirmed that she is single but shared that she didn’t know how to break the news.

“I’ve been single for a minute now,” the rapper said at the time. “But I have been afraid … Not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been, like, a sign.”

Cardi also confirmed that she had been dropping hints about the split to her followers by unfollowing Offset and posting cryptic messages on her story.

“I don’t know if you guys have been getting clues from me, from my Lives, or from my Stories, when I put some certain music, or find my unfollowings,” she said.

Since December, Cardi and the Migos star have spent time together on New Year’s Eve, Offset directed her March music video for “Like What (Freestyle),” the two caught a Knicks game together in May, and that same month, Rolling Stone published an interview in which Cardi said the pair was “all right now.”

“Because we do love each other,” she said at the time, adding, “It’s not even about love. 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?”
