Cardi B Shows Off Romantic Valentine's Day — Complete with Diamonds and a Strip Club Visit
Flowers. Dinner. Diamonds. And a trip to the strip club. It sure was a romantic Valentine’s Day for Offset and Cardi B!
The husband-and-wife pair, who share 7-month-old daughter Kulture Kiari, celebrated the love-struck holiday on Thursday night. It was their first Valentine’s Day since reconciling after a brief separation.
Cardi, 26, shared their celebrations on her Instagram Stories, showing off the extravagant surprise gifts Offset, 27, had given her.
Those included spelling out the phrase “I [heart] Cardi” in rose petals on the floor of their living room, a gesture Cardi clearly found sweet. “Aww you think you cute?” she teased him, as she panned the camera around the room to capture the moment.
Offset’s rose petal theme followed in the bedroom, where they were sprinkled on the bed in a giant heart-shaped pattern (surrounding two long-stemmed roses). Meanwhile, in the bathroom, a candle-lit bubble-bath was waiting with even more pink and white petals scattered about.
“Aww you tryin’ get freaky freaky,” Cardi joked.
After documenting the setting, Cardi gave fans a peek at their dinner — which included a whole lobster, steak with vegetables, glasses of champagne and a bottle of Coca-Cola.
The camera then appeared to be in Offset’s control as he zoomed in on the various bling Cardi was wearing. Her jewelry? Diamond drop earrings, two long diamond necklaces, diamond cuffs, and of course, that rock of an engagement ring.
Following a quick trip to the bathroom, Cardi and Offset then went out for a little fun together at the strip club.
Both appeared to be having a blast, Cardi (in a red wig and black dress) showering strippers giving her a lap dance with cash while Offset (in head-to-toe black) threw stacks of dollar bills in the air towards the stage.
Cardi B and Offset began dating in 2017 and secretly wed that September.
Earlier this month, Cardi opened up to PEOPLE about their relationship, calling their marriage “a personal thing.”
“My relationship, my marriage, is not for them,” she said, of the public. “It’s not for them.”
Asked about the intense social media speculation over their coupling, the “I Like It” singer said then: “I feel like we just really are a very regular couple.”
“We just do regular things,” Cardi continued. “I just feel like: We’re famous … we’re really popular right now — I just don’t know the obsession, like I feel like everything we do is a big deal. Even before the bad scandals, just from the first time they seen us together, it was just like this big crazy deal.”
Still, she said, she and Offset are “just taking things slow” in the wake of their reunion, which came in December weeks after she announced her split amid his cheating scandal. “We have a baby right now,” she explained. “That’s like our real big focus.”
“I hang out with him, I talk to him every day and we do our thing,” Cardi said of Offset. “It’s just like — to make things perfect … it takes time. You know, f—ing 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.”
At the 61st annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, the couple were together — putting on quite the PDA spectacle on the red carpet.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker later pulled her husband onstage as she accepted her award, thanking Kulture “because when I found I was pregnant my album was not complete… we was like, ‘We have to get this album done so we can shoot these videos while I was still no showing,’ and it was very long nights.”
She also thanked Offset: “Nah, ’cause seriously he was like, ‘You gonna do this album, girl. We gonna have this baby and we gonna make this album,” Cardi said onstage at the Grammys.
Meanwhile, at midnight on Friday, Cardi released her latest single — “Please Me,” a sexually-charged, ’90s R&B-inspired duet with pal Bruno Mars.
The two stars collaborated last year for a remix on Mars’ 24K Magic hit “Finesse,” and were scheduled to go on tour together last fall but had to cancel due to Cardi’s pregnancy. “Please Me” marks their first song together since (It’s also the song that brought Cardi back to Instagram after her self-described “retirement”).
“We’re getting real f—ing free tonight,” Cardi joked on Instagram, in the caption to a video of she and Offset jamming along to the song minutes after its release.
Offset also released new music this week, dropping the music video for “Red Room” — his first single from his upcoming solo album. “My first solo project,” he tweeted following its release. “I want to express my life let my fans know a little more about myself and of course some turn up.”
