They're in the Middle of a Bitter Divorce. For One Afternoon, They Both Showed Up Anyway.

Wave turned five on Thursday. Blossom turns two today. For one weekend, their parents' divorce took a back seat to balloon arches and a ball pit — even if Cardi B and Offset made sure never to end up in the same frame.

The joint birthday bash, themed around Disney and Sonic the Hedgehog, went all-out: balloon arches, a ball pit, carnival games, and trays of food for the kids and their guests. Cardi leaned fully into character as Minnie Mouse for the occasion. Both parents posted from the celebration — Offset shared video of Wave dancing with cotton candy in hand, while Cardi posted footage of the couple's eldest daughter, 8-year-old Kulture, doing a runway walk to Katseye's "Gnarly."

Headlines are calling this a reunion, but it's worth being precise about what actually happened: both parents attended, and neither posted a single photo or video showing the two of them together. This was two people occupying the same party for their kids' sake, not a public thaw in their relationship.

Cardi filed for divorce from Offset for a second time in 2024, following a string of public disputes and accusations between them. Despite that, both have continued co-parenting their three children — Kulture, Wave, and Blossom — and this party fits a pattern they've kept up throughout the split: keep the fighting out of the kids' milestones, even when it's very much still happening everywhere else.
