Cardi B reveals baby daughter Blossom for FIRST time in sweet photos
Cardi B has revealed baby daughter Blossom's face for the first time with an array of sweet Instagram photos on Monday. The Bodak Yellow rapper, 32 - who recently risked a wardrobe malfunction while attending the ASCAP celebration - uploaded snaps of the eight-month-old as well as her other kids Kulture, six and Wave, three. The performer shares her three children with ex Offset - as the pair continue to be embroiled in a bitter divorce battle. In one image, Blossom could be seen flashing a big smile as she stood on her feet while wearing a hot pink onesie and pastel pink socks. A Louis Vuitton scarf was placed on top of her head, and contained both the brand's logo as well as a cherry blossom pattern on the silk material. Small bags were placed nearby with the same style. Another picture was taken as Cardi B held her youngest child in her arms as they both held cheerful grins for the cute moment. Blossom appeared to be a fan of the items and held a mini Louis Vuitton bag in her hand with an excited smile. Her daughter Kulture also paused for a couple of photos as she modeled some purses from the luxurious brand. The eldest daughter of Cardi B and Offset posed outdoors while wearing a scarf from the line and held two bags. Wave also appeared in the star's latest Instagram carousel, including a closeup snap of his face. Another image showed the three-year-old lounging on a couch and looking through a phone. Cardi B showcased an assortment of pieces from the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Collection which is currently available online to consumers. The songstress - whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus - also modeled some items from the collection herself. While wearing a nude bodysuit, the Please Me rapper carried a large purse over her right shoulder and held an umbrella above her. As she crouched down on an outside deck, the music artist held a smile and also sported a pair of open-toed heels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cardi B (@iamcardib) In one image, Blossom could be seen flashing a big smile as she stood on her feet while wearing a hot pink onesie and pastel pink socks In the caption of the post, Cardi B penned to her followers: 'It is you Miss Blossom Belles,' followed by cherry blossom emojis. The performer first revealed the name of her youngest child late last month in May as she put her ex Offset on blast. At the time, she had jumped to X Spaces to give an emotional response to a spokesperson for the music artist telling The Breakfast Club he is requesting 'everything' amid their divorce proceedings, per Hollywood Unlocked. Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset - whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus - last year in July. But it was also revealed last month that he requested she pay him spousal spousal support. At one point, the mom-of-three claimed that her estranged husband is not involved in their children's lives - including their youngest daughter Blossom, who was welcomed to the world in September 2024. 'Kiari is allowed to see my kids,' the Grammy winner emphasized. 'It is not one day that he's not allowed to see my kids. He stood up my kids three times. He has seen Blossom only like five times, and I been trying to save your face…' She continued, 'I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.' Cardi B also added, 'You talk to the kids almost every single day. You call the kids almost every single day. 'I allow you to talk to the kids every single day. If I allow you to talk to the kids, why would I not allow you to see the kids?' The singer has since been romantically linked to NFL player Stefon Diggs - although he was recently caught flirting with a bikini-clad woman late last month on Memorial Day. But the couple seemingly brushed aside the incident when they were seen packing on the PDA last week at the NFL star's kids football camp in Maryland. While on the field together, the pair were spotted cozying up and also shared a sweet kiss. It came not long after exclusively learned that her ex Offset made a shock decision in their divorce proceedings - and has now requested spousal support. She also claimed that their split came after she was traumatized 'waking up each day' to stories of Offset allegedly cheating on her. The rapper explained that she also began therapy due to having 'frequent headaches' and was 'literally losing my mind.' On X Spaces, Cardi B said: 'I gave chances after chances after chances after chances. 'If I was still there [in that marriage], I was going to end up going to jail because I was going to end up killing him. Seriously, with my own bare hands, because it was getting too much.' She added, 'My baby came out five pounds because I couldn't eat because I was so depressed because of the lies and the constant drama. 'This is more than the cheating. It's just like the constant lies, the gaslighting - it was really messing with my head.' Offset has also previously accused Cardi B of cheating on him, but she said, 'I was married for seven years. I was faithful for seven years. Before that, I was engaged for three years.' The star additionally expressed to her fans, 'We did help each other with our jobs. But it's like, you're helping me, but you're destroying me at the same time. You gotta go. You become a liability to my work, you gotta go.' The singer has been keeping busy and recently made an appearance at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Celebration in Los Angeles. She was honored with the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award and wowed in a snakeskin-patterned dress with a plunging neckline on the front. Her dark locks were parted in the middle and flowed down straight past her shoulders. For a final touch, she added large earrings as well as flashy rings on each of her hands.

TikTok star Michael Armstrong reveals wife Emma had a stillbirth three weeks before due date: 'We are shattered'
TikTok star Michael Armstrong revealed the sad news that he and his wife Emma lost their baby. Emma delivered their child as a stillbirth 37 weeks into her pregnancy. 'It's been hard to find words for this, but it's with a heavy heart to share that our sweet baby has passed at 37 weeks,' Armstrong shared on Instagram on Saturday, June 14. Armstrong goes by Michael Love on social media while his wife is Fire Love. '3 weeks ago, my wife woke up and noticed there wasn't movement in her belly. She intuitively felt something was off. 'A couple hours later we got an ultrasound and the doctors found no heartbeat,' his Instagram caption read. 'We were shattered,' the influencer continued, noting his wife underwent a stillbirth and delivered their child after 37 hours in labor. The couple chose to wait until birth to find out their baby's gender. They had a boy they named Zen Diamond Armstrong. 'There was no sign of what went wrong. His ultrasound, body and placenta all looked good. As we've learned, sometimes this just happens, and 1/3 of the time no cause is ever discovered. 'I've been balancing the divine purpose of it all and the truth of deep grief,' he wrote. 'I know our souls wouldn't have chosen this experience if there wasn't a greater purpose, but the devastation is real. 'The love that's poured in has been a light in the darkness. Our friends here in Kauai have been delivering food and everything else to us,' he wrote alongside a photo of their baby's hand being held by one of his parents. 'Absolute angels. I've been able to devote my energy to taking care of Emma, who is navigating an unimaginable postpartum journey with such strength.' Michael then went on to praise his wife, writing, 'She carried our son with such grace and love, singing to him each night and morning in bed. Armstrong goes by Michael Love on social media while his wife is Fire Love 'Thank you for holding us in your hearts. Every message, every meal, every prayer, we feel it. It matters (even if we don't get to respond right away). 'We're taking it day by day, moment by moment, and letting love lead us through.' Emma also posted about her loss, detailing how many things she had been planning to do with her child. 'I must have spent hours every day just imagining all the things I would do with my baby and the mother I would get to be,' she shared. 'We were preparing for the happiest day our life and instead we got our worst.' 'This is not a share about some silver lining or Gods plan though I have felt the divinity and love like a breath for air that desperately gasp for while I drown,' she continued. 'This is me sharing my shock. For any human that has felt the ground ripped from underneath them. For any mother that has lost her baby. 'The shock, denial, confusion, longing, love and unbearable heartbreak of a loss like this all gets a seat at the table.' 'He is essence of peace and love. He is the rainbow light of our lives. He is an angel guiding us from beyond the veil,' Emma wrote. 'There are no words to convey the depth and grief of this loss. We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and please know even if we don't respond that your messages mean so much to our tender hearts,' she concluded. Armstrong rose to fame on TikTok for his hypnosis masterclass and discussions about past lives. The lovebirds got married in April 2024 and called their story, 'the ultimate love story' as well as saying they were each other's 'soulmates.' In January 2025, Emma posted a video and captioned it, 'There's a miracle growing inside of my womb.'

Boca let slip two-goal lead as Benfica claim late point at Club World Cup
Well, that was different. On a violently hot Monday night in Miami Gardens, day three of Fifa's sport-style entertainment event, something unexpected happened. A football match broke out. And not just the styling, the outlines, the aesthetic sense of a football match. As Boca Juniors tore into a 2-0 first half lead against Benfica, as the stadium interior was transformed into a sustained static field by the Boca fans, as the coaching staff on both benches leapt up in random rotation, like the world's angriest improv night, this already felt like the real thing, blood, vim, borrowed life. The final score was 2-2 thanks to a late equaliser scored by Nicolás Otamendi, who hovered powerfully before butting the ball into the Boca net from a corner. At which point the air seemed to shoot out through the powder blue gap in the stadium roof, as the entire Benfica squad leapt up to caper about on the pitch, an impressive feat in itself given the overall effect of the afternoon heat is like trying to walk across the surface of the planet Mercury in a Victorian diving suit made from loft insulation. There were three red cards by then, one for each set of players, one for a furious Ander Herrera on the Boca bench. And Boca will be hugely disappointed to let slip a 2-0 lead having played with a sustained, bruising fury for most of the first half. This was the opening game in Group C for both of these teams, and a crunch moment too, a chance to slipstream Bayern Munich towards the knockout phase. For all that this felt like a self-contained event from the start as the Boca fans took ownership of the day and the space, parking themselves like a mobile city state in the home of the Miami Dolphins and putting on a kind of faux-clasico in south Florida. The three hours before kick-off had seen the blue and yellow shirts streaming in across the vast sunken surrounds of the Hard Rock, all sandy scrub and baked tarmac, and decorated now with names like Riquleme, Cavani and Carlitos. The day before had seen a mass gathering in Miami beach, the Boca fans drinking fernet and coke, grilling great flapping skirts of meat, and subjected also to a flying banter banner reading, in Spanish, 'RIP YOU DIED IN MADRID 9/12/18', arranged by some extremely prescient and well organised River Plate fans, and a reference to defeat in the 2018 Copa Libertadores final. The stadium was three quarters full at the start, and packed in the Boca section, which also helpfully drowned out the absurd WWE-style practice of announcing the players one by one, finishing with an ear-shredding field of white noise as Otamendi, a Vélez Sarsfield man, appeared with the Benfica flag. This was always an interesting basic premise, a meeting of yawningly opposed extremes. Boca are connection, collectivism, passion, an acme of the legacy football world. This club is all rootsy culture, history, legend, Diego-scale iconography, the Argentina of Argentina. And in the black corner, well, we have something else entirely. Authenticity: meet the Fifa Club World Cup, the most plasticised, commodified football competition ever devised. There was something a little uncomfortable about this spectacle. Here is Fifa saying lend us your edge, your colour, your clout, your stamp. Make us feel real. In the build up to this game Fifa's reliably unctuous website had described Boca as 'a nomadic passion'. And this is the business plan in one handy phrase. Instant reality, bolt-on culture. On the other hand, why not if it pays well? The thing about Boca and the other non-European teams is that they genuinely want to be here. And for obvious reasons too, finally offered a piece of the global broadcast pot that doesn't involve acting as a talent plantation. This what Gianni Infantino is getting at with his boilerplate chat about diversity and inclusion. Look. South America is getting a cut. Don't you want to share? This is also a little misleading. Boca will now have a cash boost, via Fifa/Dazn/Saudi, which means they can buy again, come back again, fed by this new stream of income. In effect Fifa is creating client clubs, a mini-elite to staff the show. For now Boca brought some authentic World Cup energy to this pop-up stage, as they were always going to do. This is a vast sporting enterprise with its own global reach. And after a slightly dozy start they began to play with some real fury. Boca's tactics were not complex. They kept a low block, challenged fiercely, broke at speed. The energetically squat Alan Velasco had their first shot at goal, veering into space and skimming the ball just over the bar. With 11 minutes gone we had the first mass vibration of the Boca fans leaping in unison and making even this vast mound of concrete and steel throb delicately. And 10 minutes later Boca scored, the goal made by Lautaro Blanco, who shimmied his way inside and crossed low for Miguel Merentiel to nudge the ball on into the far corner. The bodies seethed and writhed in the stands. And shortly afterwards it was 2-0, Rodrigo Battaglia heading in after a flick back across goal from a corner. This time the bench was cleared, the bibbed players streaming on, the stands in uproar, a noise that seemed to have many layers, hitting you in the chest, ears, teeth. Watching Boca defend in that period was like watching a group of hugely energetic construction workers demolishing a bungalow in formation, all hungry, rotational collisions. It was fun to see this kind of defending, not pressing or denying space or shutting down angles in the European style, but going straight for the man, rushing from the block to attack the ball. Benfica looked a bit unprepared for this. But they were awarded a soft penalty before half-time, beautifully rolled into the corner against a fury of whistles and boos by Ángel Di María, who has heard this stuff before. The second half brought more of the same, both sets of players running themselves into a state of desiccated exhaustion. With 72 minutes gone Andrea Belotti was sent off for a high boot into the head of Ayrton Costa. Jorge Figal got an instant straight red at the death for a targeted assault on the shins of the nearest man to the ball. And that was pretty much that. No doubt some will see an endorsement of Fifa's vampire show in the sheer vivid life of this game. But it felt like an act of defiance too, evidence of a culture and an energy that exists undiminished outside of all this.
