Does Ashanti have any kids?
Ashanti now has one child - a baby boy called Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, who was born on July 18 2024 to her husband Nelly.
The R&B singer announced the news on her social media, with a tell-all to Essence Magazine, revealing that the pregnancy rumours were true, and she is also engaged to the 'Hot in Herre' singer Nelly.
She spoke to ET about her birth to Instagram: “Having all of us in the delivery room and seeing his face for the first time, I cried it was just so emotional and spiritual at the same time,” Ashanti recalled. “Having a vision of this moment for so long...it was such an electrifying feeling.”
“Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience."
This baby marked Ashanti's first child and Nelly's third biological child, as he also helped raise his niece and nephew following his sisters death.
The pair originally met 20 years ago at a press conference for the Grammy Awards, and are now parents!
