The “Baby” singer, Ashanti, is expecting her first child! She shared the exciting news on Instagram Wednesday afternoon, revealing that she and her partner, Nelly, are going to be parents.
For weeks, fans and media have been speculating about her possible pregnancy due to her visible baby bump. Ashanti finally ended the speculation by posting a video to announce the news, complete with the caption, “Baby baby baby baby….” She wore a $160 black Akira mini shirt dress adorned with rhinestones and topped her look with a luxurious mink vest.
In the video, you can see Ashanti getting ready to perform at the Barclay’s Center. Before hitting the stage, she talks with her mother, Tina Douglas, who asks how much more time she needs before she’s ready. Ashanti humorously responds, “I’m going to need about nine months.”
This happy news comes after Ashanti and Nelly rekindled their relationship last year. The couple, who originally started dating back in 2003, have reunited after nearly two decades and are excitedly expecting their first child together. This will be Ashanti’s first child and Nelly’s fifth.
We’re thrilled for this fashionable couple! Congratulations, Ashanti and Nelly! Love always finds a way!
