The celebrity couple Nelly and Ashanti have more to celebrate as they reportedly await the arrival of their second child together, according to Page Six. This joyful news comes nearly a year after the pair secretly tied the knot in December 2023.
The “Foolish” singer is expecting again just months after the duo welcomed their first child, son Kareem Kenkaide Hayne, on July 18. Reflecting on meeting her baby boy for the first time, Ashanti shared in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, “I was overwhelmed with emotion. Seeing his face was so spiritual and fulfilling—it’s a moment I had envisioned for so long.”
Nelly, 50, and Ashanti, 44, have shared a long and storied history. The two first crossed paths at a Grammy press event in 2003 and collaborated on music, including their 2008 hit “Body on Me” and their 2024 release “This Lil’ Game We Play.”
The couple originally dated for ten years before splitting in 2013, only to rekindle their romance in 2023. They made headlines by appearing together at a Las Vegas boxing match in April, with Nelly later confirming their renewed relationship in September.
Their secret wedding reportedly took place in St. Louis, Missouri, on December 27, 2023, as confirmed by a marriage license obtained by Page Six. With a growing family, the pair’s love story continues to inspire fans worldwide.
