Cardi B and Offset recently went their different ways after seven years of marriage, but their circle of friends are hopeful that the rap couple would be back together again.
“Cardi’s inner circle of friends are remaining hopeful that she and Offset are able to work things out,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“They’ve been through their fair share of ups and downs over the years but have always managed to come back to each other.”
Cardi’s friends know she is a “strong, independent woman who will be great either way,” the insider adds. At the same time, her inner circle “saw such a strong love between [Cardi and Offset] when they were together that they’re still holding out hope for a reconciliation.”
The source continues: “All they can do for now is be there to support Cardi and surround her with love.”
Cardi, 31, recently announced that she has “been single for a minute now” during an Instagram Live. “The last time I got on Live … I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you,” Cardi told fans on Sunday, December 10. “So, I was like, ‘I changed my mind.’ But it has been like this for a minute now, and I just took it as a sign.”
Cardi went on to note that she’s ready to “start 2024” with a “fresh [and] open mindset, adding, “I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. I’m excited.”
The pair, who share daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2, have faced multiple cheating scandals over the years. In December 2018, Cardi announced that she and Offset had split after one year of marriage after leaked videos appeared to show Offset in bed with other women. The duo soon reconciled, but Cardi later filed for divorce in September 2020. She dismissed the filing that November.
