Judging from her excitement about having her first baby, Ashanti is going to be overjoyed to be a mother again. After giving birth to their son Kareem Kenkainde Hayne on July 18, 2024, she couldn’t hide her joy. She has expressed her feelings several times, including in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. 

Describing her experience seeing her newborn baby’s face for the first time, she said, “I cried; it was just so emotional and spiritual at the same time. Having a vision of this moment for so long … It was such an electrifying feeling.” Ashanti also stated that she had looked forward to having a baby for a long time.

She said the same thing on Instagram when she wrote, “waiting to be a mom for a long time now.” She described Kareem during the interview as an “incredibly happy baby.” Speaking about his growth, she stated, “He recently just found his toes, his feet. So now he grabs his feet whenever he can, like when he’s lying down. And he smiles all the time.”

Is Ashanti Pregnant?

In case you have wondered, “Is Ashanti pregnant again?” yes, there is a good chance she has taken in. Sources close to Nelly and Ashanti have revealed that the couple are expecting another baby.

Although the reports haven’t disclosed how many months pregnant she is, the couple is known for keeping such news close to their chest. They kept Ashanti’s first pregnancy secret until the baby bump began to show. 

They did the same during their secret wedding on December 27, 2023. Although the wedding documents didn’t reveal the precise venue of the ceremony, they were signed under St. Louis County, Missouri, which happens to be Nelly’s hometown. The couple experienced massive joy again with the arrival of their son, Kareem, just seven months later.

Ashanti satisfied lots of curiosity by speaking about their son’s name during an August interview. “His dad named him with a lot of pride,” she stated. “We were going back and forth for a long time on his name, and he was very adamant. He was like, ‘This is what I want! I love this!’” she continued. 

“And I thought it was just so thoughtful and so sweet because Kenkaide is my dad’s name, and obviously, my dad has only girls,” she added. “So Nelly was just like, ‘I think that will be really, really dope.’ And this was all his idea. Kareem means generous, kind, noble, dignified, bountiful, and just having dignity. So I was like, ‘That’s so cute!”

How Many Months Pregnant Is Ashanti?

If the rumors are true that Ashanti is expecting another baby, then she is likely going to be a few weeks pregnant. Nelly, 50, seems proud to have her as the mother to his kid and future kids. “She’s an awesome mom,” he declared during an interview. “To watch someone care about someone else so much and give their all and is willing to give their all.”

Nelly also jokingly talked about how much Ashanti, 44, is obsessed with Kareem’s wardrobe. “She treats him like a Build-A-Bear,” he announced. “The boy is 3 months. He changes outfits in the house… He changes outfits three times in the house.”

Nelly finds his son’s frequent change of clothes amusing. Consequently, he promises the little chap that he will capture the moments and show them to him when he grows up. “It’s a laughable love, in a good way, ’cause I just laugh. I just say, ‘Look at this baby.’ I can’t wait to show him some of the pictures and the videos, like ‘Look at what your mom is doing to you.”

However, aside from that, Nelly has also shown a lot of interest in Kareem’s pictures. Ashanti revealed that the rapper has been vocal about preserving memories of his son’s childhood. “We had a photoshoot the other day. But Daddy directed the photo shoot. We had a pumpkin photo shoot. He’s like, ‘No ma, you gotta do it this way,’” she recalled.

How Nelly and Ashanti Are Dealing With Parenthood

The pregnant Ashanti has been learning the ropes of parenthood for the past few months. But for Nelly, that’s pretty much familiar ground. He has been a father for about three decades. He’s had Chanelle, 30, and Cornel Haynes III, 25, with his ex-lover, Channetta Valentine.

He is also the adopted father of Sydney and Shawn Thomas, 27 and 26 years old respectively. Both are children of Nelly’s late sister, Jackie Donahue, who died in 2005. 

Speaking on his wealth of fatherhood experience, Nelly stated, “He’s a boy, and you know I’ve had boys—I have boys. And boys, you have to duck when you’re changing them. And I’ve been peed on so much by my oldest son that it’s pretty much over.”

For Ashanti, aside from the gift of a baby, she is also grateful to have someone like Nelly by her side. She has described him as her “soul mate,” “best friend,” and “protector.” She has also declared that she is “super-blessed” to have him by her side. 

Nelly and Ashanti dated for ten years before they broke up in 2013. But they shocked the entertainment world and themselves when they got back together months later. That decision seems to have paid off big time. Hopefully, their love grows stronger as their family grows larger.
