Nelly and Ashanti could be expecting a second baby according to their friend Keyshia Cole who seemed to announce that the R&B singer was pregnant for a second time.

However, Keyshia apologised for the comment and cleared up any uncertainty, revealing it was likely she had got the info wrong.

In a post on Instagram, she said: “My apologies… I shouldn’t have said that. I thought she announced it. If that isn’t true I apologize.”

Nelly and Ashanti are a fan-favourite couple, having a romantic love story that follows them breaking up and reuniting over a decade later and marrying the same year, they are now parents to their baby, Kareem Haynes.

One fan wrote under a post of the couple: “Nelly and Ashanti proving that some love stories deserve a sequel—and this one’s a blockbuster! OMG they are teeeeew cute.”

Their first child together, has brought the couple closer than ever, Nelly recently posting a love post to his wife, detailing how being a mother looks good on her.

Ashanti is notorious for keeping her private life private, her last pregnancy wasn’t announced until 6 months in, via a post to her 8.7 million followers on Instagram.

The ‘Always On Time’ singer is yet to comment on Keyshia’s slip and the validity of the claims.
