Cardi B and Offset’s relationship timeline
Cardi B and Offset have had a tumultuous relationship since their marriage in 2017. They have experienced several breakups and reconciliations over the years. In December, Cardi B confirmed they had split again, hinting at infidelity rumors, which Offset denied.
“I just don’t know how to tell the world,” Cardi B said in her Instagram live. “But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now.”

Despite their ups and downs, Cardi B has expressed that they love each other deeply and consider each other best friends. In an interview with Rolling Stone published in May, she talked about their relationship:
“It’s not even about love,” she said. “We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”
