Nelly and Ashanti Are Expecting a Baby, and Our Mid-2000s Dreams Have Come True

Nelly and Ashanti.

We love a good happy ending—or, in this case, really, a beginning: after dating for 10 years (from 2003 to 2013), breaking up for 10 years (from 2013 to 2023), and reuniting as a couple this year, Ashanti and Nelly are going to be parents together, multiple outlets report.

Us Weekly reports that Ashanti is pregnant, and at 43 will become a first-time mom; Nelly, 49, is father to a daughter, Chanelle, and a son, Cornell Haynes III, with his ex Channetta Valentine. “Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together,” a source told the outlet.
