A source close to the couple is claiming that Ashanti is pregnant.
"Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together," an insider told Us Weekly.
So far, neither half of this recently rekindled celeb couple has confirmed the exciting news. This would be Ashanti's first baby, while Nelly already has two adult children, 29-year-old Chanelle and 24-year-old Cornell Haynes III.
The couple first sparked pregnancy rumors over the weekend.
Nelly hosted his Black and White Ball in St. Louis, Missouri, over the weekend, so he and his girlfriend were, of course, in attendance. While on stage, they both put their hands on Ashanti's belly, seemingly hinting that she's expecting, and now, it looks like they weren't kidding!
Fans are already over the moon about the news.
Social media is already filled with excited reactions from fans who are so happy for the couple. On X (formerly Twitter), people are already wondering when these two are going to tie the knot about joking about how talented their little one will be.
"They found their way back to each other and now have a bundle of joy on the way," one fan wrote.

It was only recently that they confirmed their relationship.
During an appearance on the show Boss Moves With Rasheeda, Nelly confirmed that he and Ashanti were "cool" again, a turn of events that neither of them saw coming.
"I think it surprised both of us though. It wasn't anything that I think was planned," he said at the time.
Congrats to the parents-to-be!
Of course, nothing is official until we hear the news from Ashanti and Nelly themselves … but it's exciting to think that they're taking their romance to the next level this way.
Fingers crossed they update us on all the details soon!
