Nelly and Ashanti reportedly expecting first child together
After rekindling their romance earlier this year, it is being reported that rapper Nelly and his long-time beau, Ashanti, are expecting their first child together.
According to Us Weekly, a source close to the couple confirmed the news after the air sparked rumours over the weekend.
Ashanti, 43, fueled the rumours when she attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St Louis. During the event, the ‘Only U’ singer placed her hand on her stomach while on stage with Nelly, and he did the same.
This will be Ashanti’s first child, while Nelly, 49, shares daughter Chanelle, 29, and son Cornell Haynes III, 24, with ex Channetta Valentine.
The couple have been the subject of a cloud of congratulatory messages from adoring fans who were happy to see them reconcile after a ten-year separation. Nelly and Ashanti started dating in 2003 and called it quits in 2013.
