Ashanti is about to give birth to her first kid with rekindled flame Nelly.

Us Weekly reveals the happy news exclusively, saying that the couple, who rekindled their romance early this year, is looking forward to the arrival of their bundle of joy.

Ashanti, 43, is prepared for her first motherhood experience, whereas Nelly, 49, already has two children with ex Channetta Valentine, daughter Chanelle, 29, and son Cornell Haynes III, 24.

Friends close to the couple are ecstatic about the upcoming addition, which will mark a new chapter in their journey.

When Ashanti and her partner attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis over the weekend, pregnancy rumors began to circulate.

During a performance, the singer mimicked Nelly’s romantic gesture by placing her hand on her stomach.

A fan video released by TMZ recorded the moment when the pair burst out laughing, perhaps acknowledging the impending arrival of their child.

Ashanti and Nelly, who were in the news for their on-again, off-again relationship from 2003 to 2013, are back in the spotlight.

The flames of reunion were lit in April when fans noticed Ashanti and Nelly holding hands at a boxing event in Las Vegas.

The whispers spread, and by September, the singer had confirmed the revived romance in a tape from Philo TV’s Boss Moves with Rasheeda.

With a casual “Yeah, we cool again,” Nelly startled fans with the unexpected reunion, indicating that it was not a perfectly planned occasion.
