She first announced her pregnancy in April with a playful comedy skit featuring her mom, Tina Douglas, which she captioned “Baby, baby, baby, baby,” a nod to her 2002 hit song. The couple also revealed their engagement at the same time, although TMZ reported last month that they had actually tied the knot months earlier.
According to public records, Ashanti and Nelly officially got married on December 27, 2023, in St. Louis County, Nelly’s hometown. The baby news seemed to fit, as Nelly was spotted rubbing Ashanti’s belly back in December.
This marks a special moment for the couple, who rekindled their romance last year and are now reliving their early 2000s glory days together. Congratulations to the new parents!
