Lovebirds Ashanti and Nelly are going to have a baby! Ashanti recently uploaded a lovely video on Instagram in which she informed Nelly about the news using Facetime. Nelly’s reply is priceless, and it so well reflects the fun energy around him and rekindles this lovely romance.
Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship is a love story like no other. They met for the first time in 2003 at a Grammy Awards press conference and their relationship lasted for years. Although they maintained their relationship as confidential as possible during the mid-2000s, the spark between them was still clear to the fans. After being apart, the couple unexpectedly reunited ten years later while on stage during Ja Rule and Fat Joe’s Verzuz battle in 2021. In September 2023, 10 years later, the couple officially reunited, causing shockwaves in the music world. As Ashanti states in the 2022 hit song Falling For You 2022, “sometimes love comes when you’re least expecting it.”
The pregnancy reveal video is pure gold. We see Nelly in the studio, likely laying down some hot tracks for his fans. Ashanti, glowing with joy, Facetimes him and casually drops the baby bomb! Nelly’s initial reaction is a mixture of shock and pure elation – his eyes widen, a goofy grin spreads across his face, and a sound erupts that can only be described as a joyous yelp. Let’s just say, the internet had a field day with Nelly’s surprised expressions.

Between Nelly charming fans with his country-tinged album “Heartland” and Ashanti keeping us moving with “Falling for You,” it looks like new music might have to wait – but for the best reason! With a bun in the oven and a recent engagement announcement in April 2024, it’s evident that Nelly and Ashanti are looking to create an amazing family together through music. Perhaps their little one will serve as inspiration for a few future lullabies or family anthems!
We here at HypeFresh couldn’t be happier for this adorable couple. Congratulations, Ashanti and Nelly! We can’t wait to see this next exciting chapter unfold for you both.
