Ashanti and Nelly Welcomed Their First Child Together
We cannot spend too much time mourning the end of Bennifer when there is new life to be celebrated! Ashanti and Nelly have welcomed their first child together, a boy named Kareem Kenkaide Hayes. A rep for the couple confirmed the news to People, revealing that the baby was born a month ago on July 18.
Ashanti announced the news by way of postpartum-underwear spon, which I respect. The singer shared a photo of her postpartum body on Instagram and wrote, “Funny how life’s plans aren’t … always on time … lol. I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings!”
The arrival of Kareem is just the latest chapter for Ashanti and Nelly. The couple first got together 20 years ago and dated for a decade before splitting in 2014. They rekindled their romance in 2023, and by April of this year, they were engaged and expecting. The couple might even be legally married, but they haven’t confirmed that yet. What a difference a year makes!
