On Monday, recording artist Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, professionally known as Cardi B, publicly disclosed the first images of her infant daughter, Blossom, via an official Instagram post.
The 32-year-old performer—who recently drew media attention at the ASCAP celebration—shared a series of photographs featuring her eight-month-old daughter, along with her elder children, Kulture, age six, and Wave, age three. All three children are from her marriage to estranged spouse Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known professionally as Offset. The former couple remain engaged in ongoing divorce proceedings.
In one image, Blossom is seen standing and smiling, dressed in a hot pink onesie and pastel pink socks. A silk Louis Vuitton scarf, bearing both the iconic monogram and a cherry blossom motif, was draped over her head, with coordinated designer accessories placed beside her.
Another image captures Cardi B cradling Blossom in her arms, both mother and daughter smiling warmly for the camera in a display of maternal affection.
In a continuation of her recently published Instagram carousel, Ms. Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, known professionally as Cardi B, included further images highlighting her daughter Blossom’s apparent delight with the luxury accessories featured. The eight-month-old was captured smiling while holding a miniature Louis Vuitton handbag.
Ms. Almánzar’s eldest daughter, Kulture, age six, also appeared in a series of posed photographs. She was seen modeling multiple purses from the same luxury brand while outdoors, wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf and holding two coordinated handbags.
The artist’s son, Wave, age three, was likewise depicted in the post. One close-up image featured his face prominently, while another showed him reclining on a couch and browsing a mobile device.
Throughout the series, Ms. Almánzar prominently displayed a selection of items from the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Collection, a collaborative line currently available to consumers online.
Ms. Almánzar herself appeared in several of the photos modeling the designer accessories. Clad in a nude bodysuit, she was photographed holding a large Louis Vuitton purse over her right shoulder and shielding herself with a matching umbrella. In one image, she crouched on an outdoor deck, smiling, and wore open-toed high-heeled footwear.
In the caption accompanying her recent Instagram post, recording artist Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar—professionally known as Cardi B—wrote, “It is you Miss Blossom Belles,” followed by cherry blossom emojis, thereby publicly confirming her youngest daughter’s name.
The child’s name, Blossom Belles Cephus, was first disclosed by Ms. Almánzar in late May 2025 during an emotionally charged appearance on X Spaces (formerly Twitter Spaces). The revelation occurred amid public commentary surrounding her ongoing divorce from Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known professionally as Offset.
At that time, Ms. Almánzar issued a direct rebuttal to a statement reportedly made by a representative for Mr. Cephus on The Breakfast Club, wherein it was claimed that Offset was seeking “everything” in the divorce proceedings.
Ms. Almánzar filed for dissolution of marriage in July 2024. Subsequently, it was reported that Mr. Cephus submitted a counter-request seeking spousal support.
During her May address, Ms. Almánzar asserted that Mr. Cephus had failed to maintain consistent contact with their children—particularly their youngest, Blossom, born in September 2024.
“Kiari is allowed to see my kids. There is not a single day that he is barred from doing so,” she stated, emphasizing that he had “stood up” the children on three separate occasions and had only seen Blossom approximately five times.
She further claimed to have extended an invitation for visitation at her residence, stating: “I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad.” Ms. Almánzar alleged that Mr. Cephus had not visited any of their children since March 2025.
Despite these allegations, she acknowledged that Mr. Cephus does maintain telephone communication with the children, stating: “You talk to the kids almost every single day. You call the kids almost every single day.”#newsafro_
