Ashanti And Nelly Major Pregnancy Announcement

Grammy Award-winning artists Ashanti and Nelly have some exciting news beyond their music careers—they’re expecting their first child together!

The announcement came on April 17 through a heartwarming video posted on Ashanti’s Instagram account. In the video, Ashanti is seen backstage preparing for an event, holding a pregnancy test in her hand, as her mother Tina Douglas asks her how much time she needs. Ashanti’s response of “Uh, I’m gonna need about nine months” left viewers around the world in awe and anticipation.

But that’s not all—Ashanti dropped another bombshell shortly after, revealing that she and Nelly are not only expecting a baby together but also engaged!

In an interview with Essence, Ashanti expressed her joy and gratitude for this new chapter in her life, emphasizing the anticipation of motherhood and the overwhelming support from her family, fiancé, and loyal fans.

The relationship between Ashanti and Nelly spans back to the early 2000s, when they were considered one of the “It” couples of the era.

After two decades, the duo rekindled their romance, attending various events together and confirming their relationship publicly in 2023. Nelly described their current dynamic as “much lighter” compared to before, highlighting the maturity and different approach to love they now share.

For Ashanti, this will be her first child, while Nelly will become a father for the fifth time. The “Country Grammar” artist has two adult children, Chanelle and Cornell Jr., from a previous relationship. Additionally, Nelly adopted Shawn and Sydney Thomas, the children of his late sister Jackie Donahue, after her passing in 2005.

As Ashanti and Nelly embark on this new journey together, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the happy couple on their impending parenthood and wish them all the best in their next big adventure!
