Cardi B spreads holiday spirit with children Kulture and Wave

On Wednesday, December 25, 2024, Cardi B delighted her followers by sharing a series of photos from Christmas Day on her X account. The rapper stunned in a hot pink sheer, body-hugging gown paired with silver platform heels, sleek middle-parted hair, and minimal jewelry.

Her daughter, Kulture, looked equally charming in a pink knee-length shimmery fringe dress with matching sandals. Meanwhile, her son, Wave, was dressed stylishly in a cream sweater layered with a coffee-brown jacket, cargo jeans, and white sneakers.

The photos were taken in a beautifully decorated hallway of Cardi's home, adorned with pink and white flowers, several pink-and-white Christmas trees, and an array of glowing candles. Accompanying the images, Cardi wished her followers a happy Christmas, writing,

"Merry Christmas… Don't ask bout the baby she was not wit the picture ish. It was very ghetto taking pics wit these kids 😭," Cardi wrote.

Notably absent from the family photos was Cardi's husband, Offset, sparking fans' questions about his whereabouts. The couple's relationship, with its highs and lows, has been well-documented.

According to Billboard, Cardi and Offset secretly married on September 20, 2017. Offset later proposed publicly during a sold-out performance for Power 99's Powerhouse in October of the same year, and Cardi said yes.

The couple welcomed their first child, Kulture, in July 2018. However, their relationship faced turbulence, including accusations of infidelity, public reconciliations, and even a divorce filing by Cardi, which she later withdrew. They welcomed their second child, Wave, on September 4, 2021.

In July 2024, Cardi filed for divorce again but reconciled shortly after, announcing her pregnancy with their third child, Blossom, born on September 7, 2024. Despite hopes for resolution, by October 2024, Cardi indicated her focus on healthy co-parenting, suggesting no signs of reconciliation remained.

Neither Cardi nor Offset has publicly addressed their current relationship status.
