According to an exclusive with US Weekly we can officially confirm that Ashanti is pregnant!
They report that the beloved songstress is pregnant with her first child after rekindling her romance with Nelly earlier this year.
“Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. The baby will be Ashanti’s only child, while Nelly, 49, shares daughter Chanelle, 29, and son Cornell Haynes III, 24, with ex Channetta Valentine.
Ashanti, 43, sparked pregnancy speculation over the weekend when she attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis with her partner.
During the event, the “Only U” singer put her hand on her stomach while on stage with Nelly and he did the same. According to a fan video shared by TMZ, the couple broke into laughter after seemingly hinting that they are expanding their family.

Ashanti and Nelly dated on and off from 2003 to 2013 after meeting during a Grammy Awards press conference. In April, the duo sparked reconciliation rumors when they were seen holding hands at a boxing match in Las Vegas.
Nelly confirmed the relationship in September in a clip from Philo TV’s “Boss Moves with Rasheeda,” saying, “Yeah, we cool again.” He revealed that the rekindled romance “surprised both of us though,” adding, “It wasn’t anything that I don’t think was planned.”
