It’s a Boy for Ashanti and Nelly!

Nelly and Ashanti’s first child together has arrived!

On Wednesday, 21 August, a representative of the musical couple confirmed in a statement that they had welcomed their little tyke a month ago.

“Ashanti and Nelly welcomed their baby boy, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, on 18 July 2024,” the statement reads. “The proud and happy parents are so in love with KK!”

Ashanti took to Instagram that same day, sharing photos of her post-partum figure.

“Funny how life’s plans aren’t … always on time … lol [sic]”, the 43-year-old “Rock Wit U” hitmaker wrote in the caption alongside the pics.

“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 post-partum looks like … I’m so proud of my body for giving me my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.”

Ashanti first met Nelly in 2003. After a decade of on-off dating, they ended their relationship in 2013. In September 2023, however, they officially rekindled their romance.

In April 2024, Ashanti revealed that she was expecting her first child with the 49-year-old “Hot in Herre” hitmaker, who is now her husband.

Congratulations to the happy parents on the arrival of their baby boy!
