- The stars got a marriage certificate in September 2017 in Georgia
- But the two singers, who are having a baby, have pretended to be only engaged
- Hours after news broke she tied the knot, Cardi B confirmed it on social media
Cardi B confirmed on Monday that she wed Offset nine months ago. The
singer took to social media to explain she wanted to keep their
marriage private but now that the cat is out of the bag, her fans may as
well know the details. The
stars wed the same day he popped the question, even having an officiant
come to their bedroom to make it all legal. He did not have a ring at
the time and she wore no makeup and did not have a dress. Her only guest
was her cousin. Cardi
and Offset, who are expecting their first child later this summer, made
it seem as if they only got engaged in October when he bent down on one
knee while on stage, but the cover girl explained that too.
TMZ was first to break the news on Monday morning that the singers got a marriage certificate in Fulton County, Georgia on September 20, 2017. They added the couple will have a formal wedding after their baby is born.
Her
tweet read, 'There are so many moments that I share with the world and
then there are moments that I want to keep for myself! Getting married
was one of those moments! Our relationship was so new breaking up and
making up and we had a lot of growing up to do but we was so in love we
didn't want to lose each other, one morning in September we woke up
and decided to get married. We found someone to marry us, and she did,
just he two of us and my cousin. I said I do, with no dress no make up
and no ring! I appreciate the love my husband so much for still wanting
for me have that special moment that every girl dream of when he got
down on his knee and put a ring on my finger and he did that for me! Well now since you
lil nosey f*** know at least ya can stop saying I had a baby out of
wedlock.'
The two have seemed very close this year as they have made several appearances together. And in the new issues of Rolling Stone album [their new collaboration] they posed side by side. On the cover, he is seen kissing her baby bump. In
the interview, the Bodak Yellow crooner admitted she was worried when
she found out she was expecting, especially after she was advised by
friends and her team that it wouldn't be a good idea. The 25-year-old told Rolling Stone 'A lot of successful women have kids, and a lot of successful artists have kids, but not at the peak of their career.'
'[When I told people]. It was like, "You can't do this. This might f**k up your career."' Cardi recalled: 'The media didn't even let
me tell people, and I hated that. I really wanted to tell them
[Atlantic Records] myself, to sit down with them and tell everybody that
I am pregnant and I have a plan.' After
news of her pregnancy leaked out, Atlantic recommended Cardi worked on
her new album away from New York to avoid distractions but she was too
tired to concentrate when she got into a Los Angeles recording studio. She said: 'We were making green juice and coffee. I used to tell God, "Please don't make me sleepy."'
She eventually confessed her pregnancy to
the sound engineer and asked him and the recording team just to follow
her where she had appearances booked to work as and when they were able
to, and she impressed label bosses with her stamina. Atlantic
Records CEO Craig Kallman said: 'All of the creative team kind of
followed her around the country, from L.A. to Miami to Atlanta to New
York, back to Atlanta. 'I was blown away by her stamina, plus her inner strength and her creative instincts. In
a behind the scenes video from the Rolling Stone shoot Cardi and Offset
look more in love than ever as they kiss and cuddle for the
photographer.
One scene has them in a convertible classic car, while another has Cardi looking angelic while posing on a bed wearing white. The
baby wasn't planned and the Bronx born star said she realized she was
pregnant late last year when she started being 'grossed out' by food and
not feeling quite right.
She
FaceTimed Offset as she recalled, 'He was like, "What? Are you sure?" I
said, "Yeah." And then he just started smiling really hard. 'Meanwhile Cardi, real name Belcalis Almanzar, insists that being a mom won't change her. 'Just because I'm a mom, my street credibility's not gone, my s*x appeal's not gone,' she told Rolling Stone.
'I don't want to miss one second. I don't
want to miss no smiles, I don't want to miss no new movement, I don't
want the baby to confuse me and the babysitter.' While Cardi has clear ideas of how she wants to raise her baby, she's not sure about posting pictures of her daughter online.
She
admitted: 'I'm iffy about it. My feelings get hurt when people online
talking about family members. I think I'll kill somebody if somebody
talking about my child like that.'
