When is Ashanti and Nelly's baby due?
So far, Ashanti and Nelly have not publicly revealed when their little one is due, however we do know it will be sometime in 2024.
Ashanti, 43, first sparked pregnancy speculation in December 2023 when she attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis with her partner.
During the event, she put her hand on her stomach, and Nelly did the same, and broke into laughter after hinting together.
What is Nelly and Ashanti's baby's gender?
Nelly and Ashanti have not revealed the gender of their little one, and may indeed choose not to share the gender of their baby until they are born.
In response to their rekindling romance, a source told Us Weekly: “A few years ago, Ashanti never would’ve imagined reconciling with Nelly, but they’re enjoying spending time together,” the insider said at the time. “They don’t want to rush anything.”
They went Insta-official in October 2023, as Nelly toasted to Ashanti's 43rd birthday.
How many kids does Ashanti have?
Ashanti does not have any children, and this baby with Nelly will be the 43-year-olds first!
The pair originally met 20 years ago at a press conference for the Grammy Awards, and are now expectant parents.

He shares a son, Cornell Hayes III (24), and daughter, Chanelle (29), from a previous relationship.
He also has two adopted children from his stepsister Jaqueline Donahue who died on March 25, 2005.
