Cardi recalled in a December 2019 Vogue interview. “And it’s like, how is that such a bad thing? My dad has eight kids, and we all get along, and it feels better, fuller.

I want to enjoy every single second of it since I’m going back to work,” she told her followers. But she was also feeling grateful to have family by her side to help assist. “This is [her mother’s] first grandkid . . . So this is all new to her again, just as it is new to me,” she added. “My sister, [Hennessy Carolina], has not left my sight at all.
