Congratulations are in order for Ashanti and Nelly.
The singer revealed that she had given birth to their first child together four weeks ago. She went on social media to share a photo and video of what her body looks like four weeks postpartum.
“Funny how life’s plans aren’t…always on time… Lol. I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings! This is what postpartum looks like. I’m loving these super cozy @fridamom shorts! I’m so proud of my body for giving me my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.”
Back in April, after much speculation, Ashanti confirmed that she was expecting her first with her rapper boyfriend, Nelly. The “Baby” singer announced it on her Instagram page. In the video, she was seemingly getting ready for a performance, when she revealed that she would be fully ready in nine months while holding a positive pregnancy test.
The news of Ashanti’s pregnancy first surfaced at Nelly’s Black and White Ball last December, when the rapper gestured that they were expecting. The gender or the name of the baby has not been revealed yet.
