Speculations about Ashanti’s pregnancy began after she appeared at Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis. A fan-captured video shared by TMZ shows a moment during the event where both Ashanti and Nelly placed their hands on her stomach, leading to laughter and further speculation about a pregnancy.
Ashanti and Nelly’s relationship dates back to 2003, with an on-and-off dynamic until 2013. They initially met at a Grammy Awards press conference. In April, the couple was spotted holding hands at a boxing match in Las Vegas, igniting rumors of a reconciliation. Nelly confirmed their rekindled relationship in September on Philo TV’s “Boss Moves with Rasheeda,” expressing surprise at their reunion.
The couple has been taking their time with the relationship, not rushing into anything. They made their relationship Instagram official in October when Nelly celebrated Ashanti’s birthday with heartfelt posts and photographs. Last month, Ashanti reciprocated the affection by gifting Nelly a car for his birthday.
This pregnancy marks a new chapter in Ashanti and Nelly’s long-standing relationship, bringing joy and anticipation to both their lives.
