Ashanti and Nelly confirm birth of their child

Ashanti and Nelly have officially welcomed their first child together, marking a new chapter in their long-standing relationship. The couple, who reunited last year after years of an on-and-off romance, surprised fans earlier this year by revealing both their pregnancy and engagement. Moreover, the two supposedly already had a secret wedding in December 2023.

Ashanti recently shared her postpartum journey on social media, proudly showing off her post-baby body just four weeks after giving birth. In the photos, the Grammy-winning singer sported Fridamom shorts, a brand known for postpartum care. She expressed deep gratitude for her body’s strength and resilience in bringing her child into the world.

Fans and celebrities alike flooded Ashanti’s comments with congratulations and praise for her candidness about motherhood. Ashanti and Nelly’s rekindled romance, now complete with their first child, has been one of the most heartwarming love stories of the year.

The duo’s love story—spanning over two decades of breakups and makeups—has captivated fans worldwide, making this announcement even more special.
