There are possibilities that Ashanti (43) is pregnant with her first child, as reported by Us Weekly that “Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby,” based on sources. Nelly and Ashanti, who broke up eight years ago, came back into a relationship with each other, and now it is suspected that the couple is expecting their first child together.
Nelly (49) already has 2 children from his past relationship with Chanetta Valentine, who are now adults, and this “might be on board child” will be his 3rd, but it is going to be Ashanti’s first child ever. Yet no comments have been made by either of them, whether against or in favor of the news. Based on sources, TMZ has also tried to reach out to Ashanti’s camp for words of confirmation, but till now, there’s been no word back.
Are Ashanti and Nelly expecting their first child?
Ashanti and Nelly were spotted together, all dressed up for Nelly’s 11th Black and White Ball, which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel. Furthermore, the event was brought back to St. Louis after almost a seven-year hiatus.
On the same night, while singing and vibing on the stage together, the couple were noticed sharing some funny words among each other, after which Ashanti was spotted putting her hand on her stomach, and Nelly did the same by pointing his hands towards her stomach.
This gesture by the couple’s hands made a spark of rumor that the couple’s first baby together is on board! Though the couple hasn’t said a word yet in regard to the news, maybe they are not ready to break the news and are giving hints as of now. Sooner or later, it will reveal how much this pregnancy is true and if the couple is going to welcome their toddler.
Ashanti and Nelly’s relationship timeline.
Nelly and Ashanti were loved by fans when they dated each other from 2003 to 2013, after their first crossover at the Grammy Awards, but unfortunately, they broke up. Both stars gave a Deja Vu moment to their fans by sparking dating rumors in March 2023. Nelly and Ashanti were spotted watching the Garcia vs. Davis boxing match, sitting shoulder to shoulder.
On the same night, they were also spotted having PDA moments when Nelly was spotted holding Ashanti’s hand while heading out, and other pretty close moments were witnessed during the match. The fans had been highly anticipated, and the media as well. They were asked questions, and new rumor posts were made spreading the news of Nelly and Ashanti getting back on X (formerly Twitter).
Neither of them ever came up with and accepted their dating rumors, nor did they deny them. After that night, both of them were witnessed making public appearances, which eventually confirmed the news until, in September, Nelly said, “Yeah, we cool again” at Boss Moves with Rasheeda.
Ashanti had also brought out Nelly during her performance in Sin City at Palms Casino Resort. Later, she was also noticed expressing her love for her rumored boyfriend by gifting Nelly a 1962 Impala on his 49th birthday.
Henceforth, even if the couple doesn’t step forward to make comments on this newly spread news with their words, that would clear up the situation. The fans will eventually know as time passes, just like earlier records.
