Congratulations! Singer Ashanti, announces she is pregnant with her first child.
The 43 yr old shared the cutest video to Instagram, with the caption:
Baby, Baby, Baby.
According to Essence Ashanti shared the good news exclusively with them and is overjoyed about not only having her first child but also being engaged to her longtime love.
“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she says. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”
The couple also tell ESSENCE exclusively that they’re co-owners of Proov, along with founder Amy Beckley, PhD. It’s a diagnostics company that offers at-home tests that help individuals looking to conceive make it happen faster and in a way that doesn’t leave a large dent in their pockets. The medical grade tests help to bring to light the issues that can keep people from being able to conceive.
All of this is part of a new chapter in the lives of the stars.
As noted, this will be Ashanti’s first child and Nelly’s fifth.
He has a daughter, Chanelle, a son, Cornell Jr., and adopted Shawn and Sydney Thomas, the two children of his sister, Jackie Donahue, after she died of leukemia in 2005.
Congratulations to them!
