Their son, Wave, made his debut in September 2021. The pair endured their fair share of marital woes in public, including two divorce filings and multiple cheating allegations. Eventually, Cardi confirmed that she split from Offset in 2024. Read on for a timeline of Cardi B and Offset's relationship: their highs, their lows and everything in between. Who Is Offset?

Offset shed light on their beginnings during a Jan. 2018 profile with Rolling Stone, when he revealed that he initiated a dinner date in Cardi's native New York through their publicists. "The couple met about a year ago at Offset's insistence - while he watched her rise as an artist, his interest grew, then exploded," the Rolling Stone profile read. "I was like, 'Damn, I am on her!' " Offset recalled. "I am like, 'S***, I like Cardi B!' Some would argue that Cardi and Offset's first official public date was in Feb. 2017, at Super Bowl LI (51) in Houston. The two were photographed holding hands at the big game, which Cardi previously said was the point when their relationship became serious. "I told my publicist to tell him, because I was very shy, 'Listen, if we gonna go on a public date together, you cannot make me look like a dumbass after this,'" Cardi recalled to GQ in April 2018. "And he was like, 'No, I really like her. I'm really feeling her.' We was talking, we was making out. We didn't f***. After the Super Bowl, it got really serious because I feel, like, all eyes on us." In May 2017, Cardi and Offset released their first collaboration "Lick" and its accompanying video, which showed the rappers on a steamy casino date.

He popped the question on stage at Power 99's Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia with a 20-carat diamond. He later told Rolling Stone that he decided to propose because he respects everything Cardi is and stands for. "She's herself, man. I seen her develop from the trenches all the way up, and I like how she did it," he raved. "I respect her grind as a woman." Although Cardi was sure she and Offset would walk down the aisle, she told Jimmy Fallon in Dec. 2017 that she was still surprised by the flashy proposal. "I mean, he always used to tell me, 'I'm going to marry you. I'm going to marry you.' And it's just like, 'Mmm. It's the right thing to do,'" she explained. "But I knew he was going to give me a very expensive gift because he wasn't there for my birthday, but I thought he was going to give me a watch or something. He just went out of his way, okurrrrr!"
