What exciting news for Nelly and Ashanti! Congratulations to the happy couple on their growing family.
After tying the knot secretly last December, the couple is now expecting their second child, just months after welcoming their son, Kareem Kenkaide Hayne, on July 18.
Ashanti's joy in sharing her experience as a new mom earlier this year was heartwarming, and now there's even more to celebrate.
“I cried it was just so emotional and spiritual at the same time. Having a vision of this moment for so long … it was such an electrifying feeling,” she said.
Nelly, 50, and Ashanti, 44, first met at a Grammy Awards press conference in 2003, and have worked on multiple projects together, including their 2008 track “Body on Me” and 2024 song “This Lil’ Game We Play.”
They dated for a decade before parting ways in 2013 and publicly reuniting in Las Vegas for a boxing match in April 2023.
That September, the “Air Force Ones” rapper confirmed he was dating the Grammy winner, admitting their rekindled romance “surprised” them.
According to a marriage license obtained by Page Six, Nelly and Ashanti secretly wed in the rapper’s hometown of St. Louis, Mo., on Dec. 27, 2023.
