Ashanti’s first child, while Nelly already has two kids: daughter Chanelle, 29, and son Cornell Haynes III, 24, from a previous relationship with ex Channetta Valentine. Their journey from Grammy Awards press conference meetings to this exciting pregnancy possibility has been filled with twists and turns, but now they are embarking on a new chapter together as parents-to-be. Congratulations to Ashanti and Nelly!
