The birth of their first child comes less than a year after they tied the knot back in December of last year. The marriage came after reconciling following a decade spent apart. Ashanti first announced her pregnancy during an interview with ESSENCE. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” she told the outlet. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”
