Ashanti is basking in her newfound motherhood after officially announcing her pregnancy with Nelly on Wednesday (April 17).

While attending the POSSIBLE Marketing Conference in Miami on the same day, Ashanti wore a blue body-hugging gown that accentuated her baby bump.

The Grammy-winning singer stood up on stage and gave the audience a 360 of her ensemble, leaving the audience in awe.

See below.

Ashanti’s mom shut down a host during a panel in March who sent their congrats to Ashanti on the perceived pregnancy at the time. The momager quickly corrected the host by stating, “There’s been no announcement, it hasn’t come out yet, so, you know, until I hear it from Ashanti and Nelly…”

The lovers reunited after dating from 2003 to approximately 2013 and will be expecting their first child together. Nelly already has two children: a 29-year-old daughter, Chanelle, and a 24-year-old son, Cornell Haynes III, from previous relationships.
