Us Weekly has confirmed that Grammy-winning rapper Nelly and singer Ashanti are anticipating the arrival of their first child together. The unexpected pregnancy follows the rekindling of their romance earlier this year.
The 43-year-old singer and Nelly, 49, who were on and off from 2003 to 2013, have surprised many with the news of their pregnancy. While Nelly shares a 29-year-old daughter, Chanelle, and a 24-year-old son, Cornell Haynes III, with his ex Channetta Valentine, this child will be Ashanti's first.
