When cheating happens in a relationship, it could be a lot to overcome. Learn how to get past it, like Cardi B and Offset did, from relationship expert April Masini.

While Grammy Award-winning artist Cardi B, 26, has had one of the best years of her life career-wise, she has had some public up-and-down moments with her husband Offset, 27. The musician decided to try again with her marriage to Offset after his cheating scandals in 2018. Relationship expert April Masini spoke to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY about how to move on in a relationship after a partner has cheated, and what exactly you can do to move forward together as a couple.

“Cheating does not have to mean the end of a relationship,” April said, which has proven true from Cardi and Offset getting back together after separating. “The reason is that cheating does not happen in a vacuum. The cheating happens because of a confluence of factors. When both parties in a relationship, where there has been cheating, want to work on the relationship, they can move past it.”

April said that cheating can happen “because the cheater felt good outside of the relationship.” She added, “In fact, he or she felt good enough outside the relationship with someone else, that the primary relationship didn’t matter enough to stop the cheating. If you’ve got a relationship [and someone is] cheating, take responsibility for your part in the relationship.”
