Ashanti Is Ready to Expand Her Family with Nelly—Baby Girl on the Way?
Ashanti is feeling on top of the world and ready to play the baby-making game with her man, Nelly! In a recent chat with E! News, the R&B star expressed how thrilled she is with her life and hinted that baby number two could be on the horizon. “Absolutely,” she said when asked if she’s ready for another little one, adding that she’d love to welcome a baby girl to balance things out since she’s currently outnumbered by boys at home.
Reflecting on her relationship with Nelly, Ashanti revealed the rollercoaster ride of their past, stating, “We were together for 11 years off and on. We stopped, we hated each other for a good chunk of time. And then we spun the block.” Her words emphasize the serendipity that life can sprinkle on old flames, dubbing their reunion as “divine.”
The couple’s romance had its moment in the spotlight when Nelly confirmed their rekindled relationship back in September 2023. Just a few months later, they were engaged and shared the news of Ashanti’s pregnancy with their baby boy, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, born on July 18, 2024. How’s that for a glow-up? They even teased baby number two during a New Year’s Eve performance, which set the internet alight with speculation.
As both Ashanti and Nelly navigate their evolving partnership, it’s evident they are more than just a nostalgic duo—they’re ready to carve out a bright and growing family together. And don’t forget, there’s talk about their wedding too, which means love is definitely in the air! Will they soon be painting the town pink with a baby girl? Only time will tell, but for now, Ashanti’s living her best life—and she’s clearly ready to add another bundle of joy to her family!
