“I’m a need about nine months,” the 43-year-old singer-songwriter says after finally emerging.
Though this will be Ashantis first child, this will be Nellys fifth.
Nelly and Ashanti go back years and years.
They previously dated, on and off, for about 11 years before calling it quits in 2013.
Then, last year they brought the old band back together.
“Yeah, we cool again,” Nelly, said last September, confirming his relationship with Ashanti.
“I think it surprised both of us, though.
It wasn’t anything that …[was] planned.
I think we’re both pretty much doing what we do.”
Seems like they did it pretty damn well.
