Nelly opens up about the possibility of expanding his family with wife Ashanti, sharing a heartwarming moment at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
In a recent interview with E! News, Nelly opened up about his thoughts on having another child with wife Ashanti.
The couple, who quietly married in December 2023, welcomed their first son, ‘Kareem‘ , just seven months ago.
When asked if they’re considering expanding their family, Ashanti mentioned that she’d be open to adding ‘one or two more’ members. Nelly responded with a lighthearted comment about needing another nanny. However, despite the joke, it’s clear that both partners are enjoying their time as parents.
For Ashanti, being a new mother is an incredible experience. She shared that watching her son interact with ‘Kareem’ brings joy to her face and highlights the love they share. Nelly echoed this sentiment, noting that it’s special for Ashanti to be a first-time mom after waiting so long.

Ashanti parenting, originating from Ghana's Ashanti region, emphasizes respect for elders and community involvement.
Traditional Ashanti parents prioritize teaching children important life skills, such as farming, craftsmanship, and social etiquette.
They also place great emphasis on storytelling, which is used to pass down cultural values and history.
In Ashanti culture, children are encouraged to contribute to the household from a young age, fostering responsibility and self-sufficiency.
This approach aims to raise well-rounded individuals who respect tradition while adapting to changing circumstances.
As a father of three children from previous relationships, Nelly understands the importance of sharing parenting experiences with his partner. He praised Ashanti for being an amazing mother and emphasized the value of her attention and care towards their son.
While both partners are enjoying this new chapter in their lives, it’s clear that they’re committed to supporting each other through every step. With a strong foundation of love and trust, they’re poised to navigate the ups and downs of parenthood together.
