Congratulations are in order for celebrity couple, Nelly and Ashanti.
According to Page Six, the musicians are expecting their second child together after secretly getting married last December.
The “Foolish” songstress’ pregnancy comes months after she and the rapper welcomed son Kareem Kenkaide Hayne on July 18.
At the time, Ashanti gushed overseeing her newborn’s face for the first time during an interview with “Entertainment Tonight.”
“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.
