Nelly and Ashanti are eager to welcome their first baby together,” a source exclusively tells Us. The upcoming baby will be Ashanti’s only child, but Nelly, 49, shares daughter Chanelle, 29, and son Cornell Haynes III, 24, with former Channetta Valentine.
Ashanti, 43, shared pregnancy speculation over the weekend when she attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis with her partner. At the time of the event, the “Only U” vocalist put her hand on her stomach while on stage with Nelly and he did the exact. As per to a fan video shared by TMZ, the duo broke into laughter after seemingly hinting that they are expanding their family.
Ashanti and Nelly dated each other on & off from 2003 to 2013 after meeting during a Grammy Awards press conference. In April, the duo sparked reuniting rumors when they were seen holding hands at a boxing match in LA.
Nelly confirmed the connection in September in a clip from Philo TV’s “Boss Moves with Rasheeda,” saying, “Yeah, we cool again.” He opened that the rekindled romance “surprised both of us though,” additionally, “It wasn’t anything that I don’t think was well planned.”
