Cardi B and husband Offset proved their relationship was stronger than ever as they stepped out for a mid-week date night on Tuesday evening.

The hitmaker, 31, looked smitten with the rapper, 32, despite splitting up for a brief period in December 2023.

The couple put on a very loved-up display as they watched New York Knicks take on Philadelphia 76ers.

Offset sweetly placed his hand on Cardi’s lower back as she headed into the NBA basketball game.

The rapper made a statement arrival with her jaw-dropping Himalaya Birkin 30 handbag – costing between $100,000 to $500,000.

She wore a blue and white checkered shirt, teamed with a tiny mini skirt and fluffy white boots.

The mother-of-two wore pink hairclips and dazzling sunglasses to complement her outfit.

Meanwhile, the father-of-five wore a trendy black leather jacket with a vibrant Chanel head scarf.

In February, the couple first fueled rumours they were back together after they were seen enjoying a romantic dinner in Miami.

Last year, Cardi confirmed that she had separated from Offset during another Instagram Live session.

According to E! News, the Grammy winner told her fans that she had ‘been single for a minute now’ and admitted that her hesitation to reveal the news was because she did not ‘know how to tell the world.’

The performer – whose estranged husband was alleged to have cheated on her with Chrisean Rock – remained optimistic about her future, however, and told her fans that she was ‘curious for a new life, for a new beginning.’

The Bodak Yellow rapper then stated that she was ‘excited’ about her new stage in life.

Eagle-eyed fans also noticed that Cardi and Offset both unfollowed each other at the time.

Earlier this year, Cardi shared a cryptic Instagram story post where she revealed, ‘You know sometimes you just outgrow relationships.’

She added in the next story post, ‘I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings… I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.’

This certainly wouldn’t be the first time the couple has been on the outs throughout their tumultuous relationship.

The couple reportedly met at an ‘industry event’ in 2016, with Cardi B recalling in a November 2017 Twitter video, ‘He was very consistent. He really wanted to talk to me.’

They reportedly started dating in January 2017, the same month they released a song together called Lick.

Cardi shared a photo of them on her Instagram during the Super Bowl, referring to the Migos rapper as, ‘my friend… you know what I’m saying?’

Offset later revealed that the Super Bowl was their first real date, with the couple sharing a kissing Instagram snap on Valentine’s Day 2017.

While Cardi refused to confirm she was even dating Offset that summer, she dropped some not-so-subtle marriage hints at the VMAs in late August 2017.

Less than a month later, the couple secretly married in Fulton County, Georgia, though it was not publicly revealed until June 2018.

Offset proposed to Cardi on stage in October 2017 – despite already being legally married – though in January 2018, rumours surfaced that not only had Offset cheated on Cardi, but he had made a sex tape with another woman.

Cardi defended her decision to stay with Offset in February 2018, stating, ‘It’s not right, what he f***ing did—but people don’t know what I did, ’cause I ain’t no angel.’

Pregnancy rumours swirled just weeks later, with Cardi confirming she’s expecting while performing on Saturday Night Live, with the couple welcoming their first child Kulture in June 2018.

After months of cheating rumours, Cardi revealed in December 2018 that she had split with Offset, even denying rumours their entire relationship was ‘fake.’

Later that month, while Cardi was performing at Rolling Loud, Offset took over her set in an effort to win her back, with signs reading, ‘Take Me Back Cardi.’

A month later they had reconciled, with the couple in attendance at the Grammy’s where Cardi became the first solo female artist to win Best Rap Album.

Cardi confirmed Offset had cheated on her in December 2019, though the couple seemed to be going strong into 2020, before Cardi surprisingly filed for divorce in September 2020.

They seemingly got back together just months later, with each giving each other expensive cars for their respective birthdays, before welcoming their second child Wave Set in September 2021.

While the couple has seemingly been going strong since, she admitted in September that she didn’t think they’d actually get married.

They celebrated their six-year wedding anniversary last September.
