Cardi B Turns 33: Sweet Photos with Kulture, Wave & Blossom
Birthday milestone and growing family
Happy Birthday, Cardi B! The rap superstar turns 33 on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, and she’s celebrating with her home team front and center: daughter Kulture (born 2018), son Wave (born 2021) and baby girl Blossom (born 2024). She shares her three kids with estranged husband Offset , and in September 2025, she revealed she’s pregnant with her fourth child, her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
Parenting philosophy
Cardi has never been shy about her parenting game plan. On On Purpose with Jay Shetty, the Grammy winner laid out the blueprint for her kids’ future: she wants them to be “100 times better version” of her. “I want you to be smarter than me,” she explained. “I want you to be , not perfect because you cannot make your kids perfect … but I want you to be a 100 times better version than me.” She added, “You’re gonna appreciate that one day because I wish the things that I put on my kids, somebody put in me when I was younger.”
