Ashanti’s pregnancy news with Nelly will be the best thing that has happened to fans. The singer who recently buried the hatchet with her longtime on-and-off lover will start a family with him. Although this is her first child, Nelly is getting a shot at fatherhood for the third time.
Ashanti Pregnant For Nelly’s Third Child
Life is taking a new turn for 43-year-old Ashanti, pregnant with her and Nelly’s child. An insider told US Weekly that the dad to two grown kids is now expecting his youngest. His daughter Chanelle is 29, and his son, Cornell Hayes, is 24. The pair are from the same woman, Chanetta Valentine.
According to the source:
“Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together.”
Before the pregnancy confirmation news, Ashanti and Nelly teased fans while on stage. Over the weekend, Nelly hosted a Black and White Ball in St.Louis. Meanwhile, Ashanti, who graced the event with her presence, took to the stage to perform. As she stood facing the audience, she caressed her stomach, and Nelly, standing next to her, followed suit. In the clip shared by TMZ, the couple seemed excited, dropping the hint as they broke out laughing.
Ashanti And Nelly’s Romance
These two first crossed paths while attending the Grammy Awards press conference. Almost instantly, they became inseparable. Their romance lasted from 2003 to 2013, but it was not without its fair share of ups and downs.
Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship was so unstable that everyone, including Ashanti, had nearly given up on reconciliation at the time. After their recent reunion, an insider explained that it felt surreal for the 43-year-old. The person stated:
“A few years ago, Ashanti never would’ve imagined reconciling with Nelly, but they’re enjoying spending time together.”
Their intention is not to rush things, but they have been showing off how much they love each other. The duo have confirmed their romance and publicly showcased special surprises for each other. During Ashanti’s birthday, her leading man made a sweet quote when he went Instagram official with their romance. The following month, Nelly received an expensive car from his girl.
