Ashanti herself confirmed the happy news via an interview with Essence during which she discussed her and Nelly expecting their first child together. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she told the publication.
“Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience,” the musician added.
The couple first began dating way back in 2003 and remained together for a decade before splitting up in 2013. However, they ultimately decided to give their love another shot in 2023. 🥺❤️
