Cardi B Celebrates 33rd Birthday in Stunning Sheer Gown

Cardi B marked her 33rd birthday on October 12, 2023, with a lavish celebration, donning a striking sheer red gown that highlighted her baby bump. The event, which took place just one day prior, was shared on her Instagram account, where she reflected on her life, love, and new beginnings.

In a series of six photos, the rapper showcased her crimson dress, adorned with cutouts, while posing against a backdrop of pink balloons and a neon-lit “Happy Birthday” sign. Cardi, who announced her pregnancy during an interview on CBS Mornings last month, expressed her gratitude for the birthday wishes she received in her post. “Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes! Everyone normally makes their new year resolution on January 1st but I made mine last night! I’m feeling lucky but most of all blessed,” she wrote.

Among the images, one captured her holding her belly at the foot of a staircase, while another featured her taking a selfie in a plush white chair. Cardi complemented her look with long, straight dark locks and a selection of chunky silver jewelry. In her message, she shared her aspirations for the coming year, stating, “33 is the Jesus year and I must say I never felt so covered and so protected by the man above himself.”

Reflections on Love and Relationships

The festive occasion comes shortly after Cardi’s ex-husband, Offset, publicly expressed his regrets regarding their relationship during an interview on the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast on October 7. The 33-year-old rapper acknowledged his past mistakes, saying, “I should have respected her way more. I made bad decisions, like stepping out. Gotta take that on the chin.” He added, “When she left, I had to take that on the chin … I was being selfish, and I can say that as a man.”

Cardi, who recently welcomed her third child, Blossom, shortly after filing for divorce from Offset, also discussed her feelings about their separation during the “On Purpose” podcast on October 6. “I felt the love dying from my end — from my end, from his end,” she revealed. “I was very lonely because I chose to be lonely.”

A New Chapter with Stefon Diggs

Cardi B was first linked to NFL star Stefon Diggs in July 2024, although she initially denied any romantic involvement. The couple confirmed their relationship on Instagram nearly a year later in June 2025. Speaking with Billboard in September, Cardi candidly acknowledged the challenges of navigating another public romance, saying, “It’s tough dating in your 30s too, but I like him. I love him today.”

As Cardi B enters this exciting new chapter of her life, her birthday celebration serves as a testament to her resilience and growth. With an expanding family and an evolving personal life, she remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, continuously captivating her audience with both her music and her journey.
