Parents of two, Cardi B and Offset met back in 2016. Per Harper's Bazaar, while they've been coy about exactly when and where that meeting took place, Cardi has explained that, while at an "industry event," Offset made it clear he was interested: "He was very consistent. He really wanted to talk to me." The two eventually went on their first date in February 2017, though they both told interested fans and the media alike they were just friends at the time (per Rolling Stone).

Later in 2017, the pair must have decided enough was enough, and Cardi referenced Offset in an interview with Fader. While speaking about Offset and his friends, Cardi revealed that they inspired her to keep working and to push herself. "I see how hard they work. And that motivated me to work even harder," she said.

In October 2017, Offset made a huge public gesture when he proposed to Cardi onstage (though they were secretly married at the time). Unfortunately, rumors that Offset had cheated on Cardi began the following January, and as reported by E!, the "WAP" artist was weighing her options. Ultimately, the two have made things work, and are mom and dad to a daughter and a son.
