- Ashanti and Nelly have been dating for some time
- Reports say she is pregnant
- Fans believe this makes their love official for good
The rumor mill is churning at full speed with whispers that Ashanti might be expecting her first child with Nelly. Fans are losing their minds after a video from Nelly's 11th Black and White Ball showed the duo onstage, with Ashanti cradling her stomach while Nelly mirrored her actions. The couple's knowing nods have everyone asking: Are they hinting at a baby on the way?
Nelly and Ashanti are so cute together
The internet detectives didn't have to wait long for more fuel to the fire. On Monday, 'Us Weekly' dropped a bombshell, reporting that a source close to the couple confirmed the pregnancy news. "Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together," the insider revealed, sending fans into a frenzy of congratulations and well-wishes.
While this would be Ashanti's first dive into motherhood, Nelly is no stranger to the parenting game. He's already a proud dad to Chanelle (29) and Cornell Haynes III (24), whom he shares with his ex, Channetta Valentine.
The reps for the couple have been bombarded with requests for comments, but so far, mum's the word. If the rumors are true, this would be a sweet addition to their love story, especially since Ashanti and Nelly made their relationship Instagram official earlier this fall, rekindling their romance a decade after their initial breakup.
A long time coming?
It's a love story that's got everyone talking! At Nelly's star-studded 11th Black and White Ball in St. Louis, the "Hot in Herre" rapper and his on-again-off-again beau Ashanti were the center of attention. But it wasn't just their dapper looks turning heads; it was the playful belly-touching that had everyone whispering!
Could this be the ultimate clue that Ashanti is expecting her first bundle of joy, with Nelly adding a third to his brood? The couple's reps are tight-lipped, but that hasn't stopped the internet from going wild with speculation!
Amid the glitz and glamour, there's more to the ball than meets the eye. The event wasn't just a love fest for Nelly and Ashanti; it was also a charitable affair. The proceeds went straight to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and lucky students at Harris Stowe State University got a scholarship boost.
Whether they're baking a new addition to the family or simply having a laugh, one thing's for sure – Nelly and Ashanti know how to keep us on our toes. And as the "Country Grammar" artist himself might say, it's time to make it official!

His Name Packs A Punch
This is not the first time that Nelly, Ashanti and the potential of a baby have made news. Last month, the rapper responded jokingly to a fan who who brought up the possibility.
In an Instagram video, Nelly shared a clip of a new car gifted to him by Ashanti for his birthday with the caption: “Dammm mama you did that [blue-heart emoji, bicep emoji, facepalm emoji] ..!! Bday gift overkill …!!”
Stay tuned as we await the big reveal. Will it be a toddler or just a tease? Either way, we're all aboard the Nelly and Ashanti love train, and we can't wait to see what's next for this dynamic duo!
Are we gearing up for a baby shower or is it just a false alarm? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – the internet will be watching every step of the way. Congrats to the happy couple if the stork is indeed en route!
