Awww Baby!

Head over heels. Ashanti pregnant with Nelly's child.

The secret relationship is now an official. They have dated for years but denied ever being in a relationship. The two reunited and finally became an item. 

Nelly and Ashanti have been friends for years. However, their friendship took it to another level. The 43-year old singer and actress announced she is expecting her first child with the rapper.

The 49-year old rapper has two other children from previous relationship as well as adopting his niece and nephew from his late sister.

“Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together,” Us Weekly reported on Monday.

The rumors first began after over the weekend when Ashanti and Nelly attended an event together in the “Ride Wit Me” rapper’s native St. Louis. At the function, Ashanti and Nelly both playfully caressed the “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)” singer’s stomach, as seen in a TMZ video.

If the rumors are true, Ashanti would be pregnant with her first child and the “Hot in Herre” rapper would be expecting his third — he has two grown children, Chanelle and Cornell Haynes III, from his previous relationship with Channetta Valentine.

Nelly [Cornell Haynes, Jr.] and Ashanti [Douglas] dated on and off for about 11 years before breaking up in 2013. After sparking romance rumors for months, Nelly directly addressed speculation about the couple’s rekindled relationship in a September interview with “Love and Hip Hop’s” Rasheeda on her “Boss Moves” TV show.

“Yeah, we cool again,” he said in a clip, which was re-posted by the Shade Room. “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that ...[was] planned. I think we’re both pretty much doing what we do.”
