Ashanti and Nelly are expecting their first child together.
Ashanti has shown off her baby bump for the first time after she announced her pregnancy and engagement to Nelly.
The singer, 43, debuted her bump on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, 18 April, wearing a blue dress featuring a one-shoulder cape.
Ashanti and Nelly, 49, rekindled their relationship after first being linked in 2003.
This is the first time the couple are expecting a child together.
Nelly has four children; a son and daughter with former partner Channetta Valentine and two adopted children of his late sister Jackie Donahue.
That night, she appeared at the POSSIBLE marketing conference in Miami, Florida, wearing a dress that flaunted her curves.
Her dress was royal blue and hugged her body from her neck to her midcalf.
The elegant dress was sleeveless, but it featured a long cape that was attached to her shoulder.
She accessorized with several large and thick gold bangles on the arm that weren’t covered by the cape.
The singer also paired the dress with long gold earrings and yellow, white, and green snakeskin sandals.
Her hair was slicked back away from her face into a long ponytail.
Ashanti posed with her hand on her hip while occasionally turning to the side to show off her new accessory – her adorable baby bump.
She also posted a video from the event on her Instagram Story where she panned the camera up and down her body.
