Love is blossoming once more for Ashanti and Nelly, as the beloved couple is said to be expecting their second child together. Recent reports indicate that the R&B star is pregnant again, just a few months after welcoming their first child.
In July, they celebrated the birth of their baby boy, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes. It appears the couple is already preparing for another addition to their family. Sources close to them have shared that Ashanti and Nelly are relishing parenthood in their beautiful St. Louis home.
A close friend of Ashanti disclosed to media outlets that the pregnancy came as a surprise, but the couple is thrilled with the news. “They wanted to have another baby, just not so soon, but God had other plans,” the source mentioned.
The couple, who have kept their relationship milestones private, reportedly exchanged vows in a secret ceremony last December. They’ve been expanding their family while maintaining a low profile. Despite the new pregnancy, Ashanti shows no signs of slowing down, as she is set to perform at a benefit concert in New York next week.
Insiders describe the 44-year-old singer as radiant and glowing during her second pregnancy. However, the couple has yet to make an official announcement to confirm the news.
Fans are undoubtedly excited for the expanding Haynes family, especially after Ashanti shared heartfelt details about their first child, affectionately nicknamed KK. The singer expressed how proud Nelly was to name their son, with Kareem meaning "generous" and Kenkaide being a tribute to her father's name.
As we await an official confirmation, one thing is clear—this power couple is basking in happiness as they build a beautiful family together. Congratulations are certainly in order once again for Ashanti and Nelly!
