āIāve been single for a minute now,āĀ the rapper said at the time. āBut I have been afraid … Not afraid, I just donāt know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been, like, a sign.ā

Since December, Cardi and the Migos star haveĀ spent time together on New Year’s Eve, OffsetĀ directed her March music videoĀ for “Like What (Freestyle),” the two caught aĀ Knicks gameĀ together in May, and that same month,Ā Rolling StoneĀ 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, “Itās not even about love. Weāre best friends. And itās like, āOK. Well, there was a time that I didnāt have a best friend, or I didnāt have a support system.ā Itās not even about āHow do you leave a partner?ā How do you stop talking to your best friend?ā
Elsewhere in her interview withĀ Rolling Stone, Cardi opened up aboutĀ how she’s been balancing motherhood with finishing her next album. Admitting that she was currently trying to look for a nanny at the time, the proud mom said she’d been leaning on her parents for support, but was worried about putting too much pressure on them.
“I had them kids,” the mom of two told the outlet. “They came out of my p—-, not my mom’s. They mine.”

Although she noted that her husband was helping out when he could when he returned from tour, Cardi said she still felt overwhelmed. “My kids come first. My kids come before anything.”
Cardi B and Offset have hadĀ an on-and-off again relationshipĀ since they got married in September 2017, often the result of his alleged infidelity.Ā They announced they were splitting in 2018Ā and, after reconciling, CardiĀ BĀ filed for divorceĀ in September 2020, which they later called off.
In a 2020 interview withĀ ELLE, Cardi addressed the coupleās tumultuous romance, saying, āI do know that my relationship has a lot of drama and everything. But thereās a lot of love thereās a lot of passion, thereās a lot of trust, thereās a big friendship.ā
She added, āItās always us against the world.ā
TheĀ MigosĀ rapper has previouslyĀ opened upĀ about how grateful he is for his blended family, tellingĀ EssenceĀ in April 2022, “It’s a blessing to be able to have them all together, and to have a wife who’s open and treats them as if they’re her kids,” he shared. “It could be an issue, but I don’t have to go through that, and that’s beautiful.”
