The Jasmine Brand shared the news on November 27, though details about Ashanti’s current progress remain private.
The couple has a knack for keeping their milestones private until they are ready to share. Earlier this year, they surprised fans by announcing their marriage, despite having already tied the knot on December 27, 2023. The wedding was made official in St. Louis County.
Ashanti and Nelly’s relationship and first child
Their first child, Kareem, was born on July 18. His name holds deep family significance, blending Nelly’s pride and Ashanti’s familial heritage. The name Kenkaide pays tribute to her father, while Kareem signifies generosity and dignity.
Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship has been a journey of growth and reconnection. The duo first dated in the early 2000s but went their separate ways for over a decade before rekindling their romance.
