Just keep your negative opinions to yourself, OKURR?!
Cardi B and Offset are back on, and have waisted no time reminding us of just how in love they were in the first place.
We saw them reunite in Puerto Rico after the Migos rapper admitted to cheating on the Bodak Yellow rapper while she was pregnant, and most recently turning up the heat during a sexy, luxe baecation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Well, we better get used to seeing their lovey-dovey PDA on our feeds again because they’re in it for the long haul this time.

Whether you’re a hopeless romantic who has been rooting for these two to work it out, or immediately joined team #DumpOffset after he publicly disrespected Bardi more than once — it truly doesn’t matter.
Here’s how the hip-hop couple has figured out their own way to make things work:

The Please Me rapper has learned to really block out the outside noise. Speaking to People, she sets the record straight that what goes on in her marriage is truly nobody’s business but theirs:
“My relationship—my marriage—is not for them.”
So those judgmental or condescending comments about how the 26-year-old can do better? Save ’em:
“People are so quick to be like, ‘You should just date somebody else. It’s like, Honey, I’m not like you—I’m famous. I gotta consider who I’m dating, I gotta make sure people will have me for me. And I have a kid….We are a package. It’s not just Cardi, it’s Cardi and Kulture.”
As you know, the couple shares 7-month-old Kulture Kiari Cephus together.
All of Offset’s grand gestures to win back his lady’s heart weren’t in vain!
Yup — the expensive Birkin bags he gifted on Christmas, diamonds on Valentine’s Day, crashing Bardi’s Rolling Loud set with flowers to publicly show how sorry he is, and the raw, heartfelt apology from Kulture’s daddy on Instagram — did not go unnoticed.
By now we know that Cardi isn’t one to shy away from sharing her NSFW thoughts with the world. She had no problem letting her fans know how badly she craved her then-ex’s skills in the bedroom.
But what’s truly important to the outspoken rapper is keeping her family as one unit. In an interview with Good Morning America, she credits her own upbringing in separated household for pushing her to work things out:
“When I was 13, my parents separated, right? So I always feel like it’s important to have, like, a two-parent household.”
To all the guys out there who tried to shoot their shot — industry professional or not — Belcalis is absolutely leaving you on “seen.”
The Bronx native notes that none of the potential suitors have peaked her interest, and she slammed them for even approaching her so quickly after her break up:
“It’s like, ‘Bro, why would you want to holler at me right away? You’re weird. If you think Imma automatically hop onto you after a marriage, that just means you think I’m a sleaze. And I’m not. I have a kid—I have to show an example.”
The momma of one makes it clear that she isn’t naive, and knows that some men out there may realistically only want her to so they can attach themselves her steadily rising fame:
“A whole lot of people was telling me like, ‘Oh, you could date, you could find another man,'” she noted on Good Morning America. “And it’s like, I can. I could find anybody I want. You don’t know these days who want you for you. Sometimes I’m feeling people want me for Cardi B.”
In short, if you’re thinking about stepping up to Cardi — don’t.
The starlet tells People that she and her baby daddy are taking all they’ve been through together in stride, and are actively trying to make their bond stronger each day with communication:
“I hang out with him, I talk to him every day and we do our thing. It’s just like—to make things perfect…it takes time. You know, f–king and hanging out doesn’t mean that you guys are on like a perfect note, it takes time. It takes time. And it’s a marriage and there’s a child involved and family involved.”
The bottom line for Cardi is keeping their family together. As long as Offset continues to keep up the good behavior, they’ll continue to remain as a unit:
“A divorce isn’t on Cardi’s mind anymore.She has been focusing more on how they are going to work this out. The negativity of their relationship has blown over and she’s staying positive that it will work. Cardi is keeping a close eye on him and has expressed if he slips up again, she’s done.”
We love our girl Cardi and want her to be happy! If that means sticking it out with her man, so be it.

We’ll be crossing our fingers that they last!
