Insights from Ashanti & Nelly on Future Parenthood During the iHeartMusic Awards

During their moment on the red carpet, Ashanti and Nelly took a break from posing for photos to chat with E! News. The reporter mentioned that she had heard Nelly was interested in having more children, prompting her to ask Ashanti for her opinion. Without hesitation, Ashanti enthusiastically responded, “Let’s go,” while Nelly humorously clarified that the desire for more kids was actually “the other way around.” Their laughter encapsulated a light-hearted yet sincere conversation about family planning, as Ashanti reiterated her strong wish to expand their family. She reflected on how her son, Kareem, born in July 2024, inspires her desire for “one or two more” children. Curious fans are eager to see their adorable mini-me.

Ashanti’s Previous Reflections on Family Expansion and Motherhood

This recent exchange was not Ashanti’s first discussion with E! News regarding her hopes for a larger family. Earlier in late February, she candidly shared her feelings about motherhood, stating how she feels “amazing, incredibly pleased, and humbled” by her experiences so far. She confirmed that she and Nelly were indeed planning to “add some more” children to their family and expressed a preference for a girl “to balance it out.” This reflects her desire for a diverse family dynamic and the joy of having siblings.

Moreover, just a few days later, Ashanti elaborated on her aspirations during an episode of TODAY with Jenna & Friends. She mentioned that she is “absolutely” envisioning welcoming baby number two into their lives, although she suggested that this might not happen immediately. “I definitely want more kids, but maybe not right this second,” Ashanti added, showcasing her thoughtful approach to family planning and timing.

Public Reaction to Ashanti & Nelly’s Family Planning Discussions

The conversation surrounding Ashanti and Nelly’s potential to expand their family has sparked lively reactions across social media platforms, particularly in The Shade Room’s comment section. Many of Kareem’s online aunts and uncles seem excited at the prospect of a new addition to the family. However, some commenters raised questions about Nelly’s enthusiasm, suggesting he may not be as eager about the idea as his wife. While Kareem is Ashanti’s first and only child, Nelly is already a father to three children, including his son and daughter, Cornell Hayes III and Chanelle Hayes.

One enthusiastic commenter, @dagoatwz, exclaimed, “Lets gooo!!!” If she ain’t like this, I don’t want her.” Another user, @jameracarol_, expressed optimism, stating, “And he’s going to give her what she wants too; I love that for her!!” Meanwhile, some users like @myaluvvmoneyy_ and @autumnmblackmon suggested that Nelly might be done having kids, based on his reactions in the interview.

On a lighter note, @beautifulblackwomenofbk humorously quipped, “She got them on ice! Ready to pop in the microwave,” while @chocolatemurfette added, “A lil Ashanti would be nice.” Others echoed their support for the couple, with @benji_chino55 commenting, “She said ready to start nellyville,” and @its_luckimaree writing, “Yess multiply more love babies.” Overall, the sentiment seems to be overwhelmingly positive, with many hoping for another mini-me to join their family.

As we ponder the possibility of baby number two for Ashanti and Nelly in 2025, only time will reveal what the future holds for this beloved couple filled with love and aspirations.
