Congratulations to Ashanti and Nelly who just welcome their first child together into this world.

The singer dropped the exciting news on IG … writing “Funny how life’s plans aren’t…always on time.. lol.”

Big news for Ashanti and Nelly — they’ve officially become new parents ’cause they’ve just welcomed their first baby together into the world.

She says she’s been waiting so long to be a mom, and says she’s proud of her body!

Ashanti first revealed her pregnancy news in April with a comedy skit starring her mom, Tina Douglas — which was cheekily captioned “Baby, baby, baby, baby” — a nod to her 2002 hit.

They also announced their engagement at the same time — but TMZ spilled the beans last month they were already hitched months before.Public records show Ashanti and Nelly’s marriage was officially recorded on December 27, 2023 … and it looks like they said “I do” in Nelly’s hometown of St. Louis County.

TBH, all the baby news added up — ’cause Nelly was caught rubbing Ashanti’s belly back in December.It’s a full-circle family moment for them — after reigniting their romance last year, they’re now reliving the glory days of the 2000s when they were two of the biggest names in music.
