Cardi and her rapper husband, 32, have had an on-and-off again relationship since they first wed in September 2017, with issues often stemming from alleged instances of Offset's infidelity.
As for how the "Bodak Yellow" rapper is dealing with the current divorce filing as a whole, the source highlights how she is "incredibly strong and driven" despite the difficult choice she had to make.
The couple reconciled after Offset promised to work on his faults. “The main thing that I wanted him to stop and everything, he stopped and he changed, and it showed me that he wanted to change for me,” she said on The Jason Lee Show in January 2023.
In December 2023, Cardi B revealed she and Offset had called it quits, telling fans via Instagram Live, “I’ve been single for a minute now … I want to start 2024 fresh.” However, they appeared to be back on when they were spotted together at a Met Gala afterparty in May.
