Ashanti and Nelly sparked pregnancy rumors during their gala in St. Louis over the weekend.
The singer and rapper were in attendance for Nelly’s 11th Black and White Ball at the Four Seasons Hotel when their playfulness with each other had fans wondering if the two are expecting.
While the beloved couple engaged in PDA onstage, Ashanti suddenly touched and rubbed her belly. Nelly quickly followed up by rubbing Ashanti’s stomach, and both of them burst out laughing.
Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., aka Nelly, 49, and Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas, 43, dated for about a decade at the turn of the new century when they suddenly broke things off. However, the two were able to find their way back into each other’s arms after eight years apart, much to the delight of urban music fans.
Now, numerous outlets are reporting that fans’ wishes have been granted and Ashanti is pregnant.
The Black and White Ball was brought back to St. Louis after a seven-year hiatus. The proceeds from the event will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and scholarships for Harris Stowe State University.
