Cardi B & Offset Reveal Why They Waited To Show Their New Son To The World
Cardi B & Offset Opens Up About Their Blended Family & Why They Waited To Show Their New Son
In a beautiful cover story for Essence Magazine, Cardi B and Offset talk about how they balance out having a healthy marriage and successful careers all while making sure they have a happy, loving, and safe home for their kids.
Cardi, 29, who shares daughter Kulture, 3, and 7-month-old son Wave, with Offset, 30, recalled the first time she met his other kids from his previous relationships: daughter Kalea, 7, and sons Jordan, 12, and Kody, also 7.
Cardi explained how she made it a priority to make them all feel comfortable and never left out: “After we got married, that’s when I first met his kids,” Cardi said during their sit-down interview. “I always wanted them to love me, and they really do. They tell me that. I feel it, and I hope that we always have a great relationship.”

Coming from a blended family herself, having a sister and six other siblings on her dad’s side, it wasn’t a challenge for Cardi or Offset to blend their families. In fact, Essence writer Brande Victorian notes that Cardi asked on a Zoom call whether she could talk to the “editorial and creative team, woman to woman, about the possibility of including her stepchildren in our photoshoot,” a thoughtful move that never seems to go unnoticed by her hubby.
He said, “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.” Offset added, “It could be an issue, but I don’t have to go through that, and that’s beautiful.”
While they have their family situation perfectly figured out, it’s not that easy when it comes to sharing that side of their life on social media. Cardi went on to explain why she and Offset waited to share their precious new baby boy with everyone after he was born on September 4: “We went through a lot of sad things when it comes to Kulture—terrible behavior that not even the older kids have ever been through,” Cardi reveals.
“So many people will post mean, disgusting things, just to get a reaction from us,” Cardi admitted. “We want to protect our feelings because we get very, very angry and upset.” As hard as that is to deal with, thankfully, Offset and Cardi have each other to get through the BS.
