Despite the buzz surrounding their growing family, neither Nelly nor Ashanti has officially confirmed the pregnancy or made any announcements on social media.

The couple's journey has been marked by ups and downs, with their previous relationship allegedly ending in betrayal. In a 2015 interview on The Meredith Viera Show, Ashanti opened up about the challenges, stating, "I think sometimes when people have their own insecurities, it allows them to act out of character." She talked about the importance of growth and taking responsibility for one's actions.

Surprisingly, after their unexpected reunion in September 2023, both Nelly and Ashanti have been enjoying their time together, according to a source close to the couple. The source revealed to Us Weekly that Ashanti "never would've imagined reconciling" with her ex, echoing Nelly's own surprise at the rekindled romance.
