Ashanti’s Baby Fever: Will Nelly Say ‘Yes’ to Baby No. 2?
It appears Ashanti is not done expanding her family with Nelly! Nearly a year after the couple welcomed their son, Kareem Kenkaide “KK” Haynes, Ashanti is spilling the tea on her baby fever and aspirations for a “mini-me.” In a recent chat with E! News, she expressed her heart is still wide open for more kiddos, saying she “absolutely” wants to add to the family lineup. “Definitely a girl to balance it out. I’m outnumbered in the house right now,” the R&B diva gushed, hoping for a sweet little daughter to join their growing family. Sounds like she’s ready to swap the music scene for playdates!
For those catching up, Ashanti and Nelly have been quite a pair since their reunion in 2023 after a tumultuous off-and-on history that dates back to their first spark around the 2003 Grammy nominations. Now, reflecting on their journey, Ashanti noted the importance of timing in love. “It just feels like timing is everything,” she said, alluding to how their revived romance feels tailor-made for the moment. Nelly echoed her sentiments, explaining that sometimes you realize the depth of your feelings after a time apart. “It wasn’t anything that was like, I don’t think, planned,” he stated on Boss Moves With Rasheeda earlier this year.
The couple’s timeline is super relatable—after a decade of romance and drama, including plenty of ups and downs, they’ve settled back into a sweet partnership. Fans can’t help but root for them, especially when they reminisce on their past and share that spark that just won’t quit. Given Ashanti’s recent career highlights and Nelly’s ongoing musical journey, the duo seems ready to tackle parenthood again. And with Ashanti’s movie “No Address” set to drop soon, she’s busier than ever, but clearly she’s got plenty of room in her heart for more adventure—in the form of a new baby!
As they navigate the ups and downs of both family life and celebrity culture, one can only hope they spill more deets about their parenting journey. Who wouldn’t want updates on Ashanti’s multitasking as an artist and a mom? One thing’s for sure: fans are eager to see what these star-crossed lovers will do next!
