Cardi B and Offset welcomed their second child together back in September 2021 – but they've kept both his face and his name a secret. In a world of celebrity news where every moment is public and nothing is private, it's a joy to keep certain moments and milestones between the two of you.

Cardi and Offset managed exactly that – keeping their son's face and name private until now. Now we know both his name and what he looks like – and it was completely worth the wait to see that sweet smile.

Wave Set Cephus is Too Cute for Words

It's been a long wait – over 7 months – but fans of Cardi B and Offset can finally see what their precious second bundle of joy looks like. For Cardi – real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – and Offset – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – it's a triumphant end to a successfully private babymoon.

His name has been revealed as Wave Set Cephus – taking his father's last name.

For the big reveal, Card and Offset got the family together for an Essence photoshoot. Included was the couple's oldest child – Kulture, 3 – and Offset's 3 children from other relationships; 11-year-old son Jordan, 6-year-old son Kody and 6-year-old daughter Kalea.

The family looked happy – and fashionable – in a gray, black and cream palette. Solo shots of little Wave Set show him wearing an adorable diamond-studded pendant on Cuban chains, a blue puffy jacket with a fur-lined hood, diamond stud earrings – and precious cheeks for days.

It's clear that this little boy joins a loving family, and fans are ecstatic that the wait is over, and they have a new family member to adore.

It hasn't been smooth sailing for the couple to get from the start of their relationship to familial bliss. Here's a look back at their turbulent relationship – which has now settled into the peaceful waters of parenthood.

2016:

  • The pair is first introduced at an industry event in 2016.

2017:

  • In early 2017, they released a single together called "Lick."
  • February 2017: At an absolutely iconic first date venue, the pair steps out together for the first time at the Super Bowl in Houston.
  • June 2017: Cardi refuses to confirm their relationship but teases fans with mentions of "the boy."
  • August 2017: Cardi begins dropping public hints that she's ready to be engaged – no pressure, Offset.
  • September 2017: The two marry in secret in their apartment in Atlanta, GA, exchanging vows in front of Cardi's cousin. Like baby Wave Set, the couple heroically managed to keep this secret against the odds – until June of the following year.
  • October 2017: Offset publicly proposed on stage in Philidelphia (despite the fact that they were married already in secret) and the 20-carat ring reportedly cost around $500K.

2018
