While Bennifer’s chapter concludes, there’s a new story beginning with Ashanti and Nelly. The couple, who recently celebrated the birth of their first child together, a son named Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, have shared this joyful news with the public. According to a representative for the couple, Kareem was born a month ago on July 18.
Ashanti took to Instagram to make the announcement, cleverly incorporating postpartum underwear into her reveal. She shared a candid snapshot of her postpartum figure, reflecting on the journey to motherhood with a light-hearted comment: “Funny how life’s plans aren’t always on time … lol. I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now, but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings!”
The birth of Kareem marks a serious milestone for Ashanti and Nelly, who first crossed paths two decades ago. Their initial romance lasted for ten years before they parted ways in 2014. However, they reignited their relationship in 2023, leading to an engagement and an expected child by April of this year. While it’s possible the couple has also tied the knot, they haven’t confirmed any legal marriage. It’s remarkable to see how swiftly their lives have transformed within just one year!
