Ashanti and Nelly are reportedly expecting their first child together. The 43-year-old singer and her 49-year-old R&B sensation partner, who already has a daughter and a son from a previous relationship, sparked pregnancy rumors while at Nelly's Black and White Ball in St. Louis. On stage, Nelly rested her hands on her stomach in a heart shape, prompting Nelly to do the same and rub her belly. The couple then burst into laughter, realizing they may have revealed the news. Nelly then pointed at Ashanti's belly, and they both laughed again, leading an emcee to make a comment about "sealing the deal."

Ashanti and Nelly met in 2003 at a Grammys Awards press conference and recently reconciled after a decade-long relationship. Nelly revealed in an interview that they needed time apart to make their relationship work and that it was a surprise to both of them that they ended up back together. He emphasized the importance of understanding each other's perspectives and being open to change in order to strengthen their relationship.

In October, Nelly gave Ashanti a diamond necklace and a diamond-crusted watch for her birthday, further fueling speculation about their relationship. The couple has been the subject of widespread rumors regarding their romance, and their recent public appearances have only added to the speculation.

The news of their reported pregnancy has fans and the media buzzing, eagerly awaiting official confirmation from the couple. As the rumors continue to swirl, it seems that Ashanti and Nelly are embracing this new chapter in their relationship and are excited about the prospect of expanding their family.
