Exclusive reports from Us Weekly confirm the pregnancy. Delightful moments at Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis, which the couple recently attended, have sparked rumors of their growing family.
The R&B songstress, 43, and the rapper, 49, shared adorable moments at the event, captured in a fan video shared by TMZ, seemingly confirming the exciting news.
While this marks Ashanti’s first foray into motherhood, Nelly already shares two children. They are Chanelle and Cornell Haynes III, with his ex Channetta Valentine.
Their journey towards parenthood has been a rollercoaster, characterized by a decade-long on-and-off relationship.
After dating from 2003 to 2013, the duo surprised everyone by rekindling their romance in April of this year. They made their Instagram debut in October to celebrate Ashanti’s birthday.
Nelly confirmed their renewed connection in September during an episode of ‘Boss Moves with Rasheeda.’ He expressed how the reconciliation caught them both off guard.
Ashanti, who had not anticipated rekindling the flame after a decade apart, is now relishing the time spent with Nelly.
As we eagerly await the arrival of Ashanti and Nelly’s bundle of joy, it’s clear that this unexpected pregnancy is just the latest chapter in their love story, full of twists, turns, and heartwarming surprises.
The speculation reached its peak during a performance when Ashanti placed her hand on her stomach. Nelly mirrored the gesture, setting the crowd abuzz.
