Cardi B and Offset have momentarily set aside their differences to celebrate their son Wave's third birthday with an elaborate airplane-themed party. Despite their ongoing divorce proceedings, the couple came together to mark the special occasion for their youngest child, showcasing a united front on social media.
On August 31, Cardi B, who is currently pregnant with the couple's third child, shared a series of Instagram Stories documenting the festivities. The celebration, which featured a striking airplane motif, included a range of custom decorations and a lavish cake, underscoring the couple's commitment to making their son's birthday memorable.
The "Bodak Yellow" rapper posted clips of the party, including one where Wave, dressed in a white shirt, jeans, Timberland boots, and a sparkling chain, danced with his father, Offset. The sight of the father-son duo enjoying the party was a poignant reminder of the family's ability to come together despite personal challenges.
The centerpiece of the celebration was a five-tier cake designed with intricate airplane decorations, including suitcases, a compass, and paper airplanes. The party venue was adorned with light blue and white balloons and featured a faux flight departure schedule, playfully listing gates Wave 1, 2, and 3. The thoughtful details extended to the party favors, which included airplane-themed goodies for the young attendees.
Chef Franklin Rosario prepared a variety of gourmet dishes for the adult guests, including garlic mashed potatoes, BBQ ribs, and lobster mac and cheese. Meanwhile, the younger guests enjoyed burgers from MrBeast, adding a touch of fun to the culinary offerings. Offset and Cardi B also shared images of the extravagant spread on their Instagram Stories, highlighting the effort put into the celebration.
Cardi B's Instagram also featured a video of Wave and his sister Kulture, 6, enjoying the festivities, with the caption, "Issa Party. Big Wave ." The rapper also posted footage of herself in white attire, holding a pink Louis Vuitton bag, and a video of Offset dancing with Wave, further emphasizing the familial bond despite their separation.
The reunion at Wave's birthday comes in the wake of Cardi B's recent filing for divorce from Offset, which she announced on July 31. The couple, who secretly married in 2017, has faced rumors of infidelity throughout their relationship. However, an insider close to the couple revealed that the primary reason for the split was not cheating, but rather a growing emotional distance. "They've grown apart. That's what drove her to this decision more than anything else," the source told Page Six.
The day after Cardi B's divorce filing, she announced her pregnancy with the couple's third child. Despite seeking primary custody of their children, Cardi B has made it clear that she is not requesting child support from Offset. "My claim is for him to only pay for the bills he already pays on the kids and the new one," she stated on Instagram.
The couple's ability to come together for Wave's birthday reflects their ongoing commitment to co-parenting their children. Offset, who has children from previous relationships, and Cardi B, who is also mother to daughter Kulture and the unborn child, demonstrated their shared priority of maintaining family bonds during this period of transition.
In addition to celebrating Wave's birthday, Cardi B has used the occasion to reflect on her personal growth and the new beginnings that lie ahead. "With every ending comes a new beginning," she wrote on Instagram following the divorce filing. "I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!"
