Ashanti and Nelly recently captivated fans with their heartfelt aspirations for their growing family. During a red carpet appearance, Ashanti expressed her eagerness to welcome more children into their lives, enthusiastically declaring, “Let’s go!” when asked about expanding their family. Her excitement was evident as she reflected on the joy of motherhood, saying, “Looking at my baby’s face, it’s just like, ‘Oh, one or two more!’”
While Ashanti’s enthusiasm radiated, Nelly took a more measured approach, playfully responding to the idea of additional children. This delightful exchange highlighted the couple’s contrasting perspectives on parenthood, adding a layer of humor to their conversation.
The couple’s journey into parenthood started in July 2024, when they welcomed their first child shortly after a secret wedding. Ashanti shared touching details about the naming of their son, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, crediting Nelly for the choice. “His dad named him with a lot of pride,” she told Entertainment Tonight, recounting how they had deliberated over names for an extended period. Nelly’s determination shone through as he declared, “This is what I want! I love this!”
