    Ashanti wants another baby

    The 44-year-old singer - who is married to 'Hot in Herre' singer Nelly - gave birth to son Kareem last August and feels "amazing" about venturing into motherhood but is hoping that she will have a little girl at some point in the future


    She told E! News: "I am feeling amazing, incredibly pleased, humbled.

    "My life has completely changed for the better. I feel full, you know? My cup is full.

    "We're going to add some more. Definitely a girl to balance it out. I'm outnumbered in the house right now. So, a girl would be great!"

    The 'Foolish' hitmaker initially dated Nelly - who has Chanelle, 30, and Cornell, 25, with Channetta Valentine and then adopted his sister's children after she passed away - in the early 2000s but split up and married in December 2023.

    Ashanti said: "We were together for 11 years off-and-on.

    "We stopped, we hated each other for a good chunk of time. And then we spun the block.

    "It just feels like timing is everything."

    The pop star added was initially shocked that her feelings for Nelly had returned because she thought they had "gone" away after the end of their relationship the first time round.

    She said: "It was, 'I can't believe these feelings came back.

    "That's what it was for me. When we first started talking and dating again it was like, 'Wait a minute, these feelings were gone. How did they creep back?

    Ashanti recently revealed that while her husband is keen to start sharing pictures of their little one on social media, she is not so sure.

    She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I just feel like he is so important to me, and I don't know if I want to share that. He's a beautiful baby. He's definitely my twin, he's definitely my twin!

    "Sometimes I want to post, I'm like 'Oh this is so cute.' Daddy definitely wants to post, Daddy wants to post. But I'm like 'Not yet, Daddy, not yet."
