- Ashanti revealed her enthusiasm for having more kids with Nelly.
- Nelly took a more cautious approach, jokingly expressing mixed feelings.

- Their growing family will be featured in an upcoming docuseries.
Ashanti seems ready to expand her family yet again. At the iHeartRadio Awards, she told E! News that she’s open to having more children with Nelly. “Looking at my baby’s face, it’s just like, ‘Oh, one or two more!'” she said, clearly excited about the thought of more kids.
Nelly, however, responded with humor. He joked about having the opposite reaction when considering more children with Ashanti. Despite his playful reluctance, it’s clear the couple is joyfully embracing parenthood.
Their first child, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, was born in July 2024, shortly after Ashanti and Nelly wed in a secret ceremony. The name Kareem was Nelly’s idea, chosen with heartfelt thoughtfulness. Kareem is not just a name; it embodies kindness and nobility.
Ashanti shared how Nelly took pride in naming their son. “We went back and forth, but he was very adamant,” she shared. Kenkaide, included in Kareem’s name, honors Ashanti’s father, a nod to family ties.
In November, news broke about Ashanti’s second pregnancy. While she hasn’t disclosed how far along she is, her growing baby bump has been spotted frequently, sparking public curiosity.
Adding to the anticipation, a new docuseries about their expanding family and marriage is currently in production. The show, slated for Peacock, will give fans an inside look at their life together.
Ashanti and Nelly’s journey into parenthood is unfolding with excitement and love.
