Chanelle Haynes, the daughter of rapper Nelly, is extending her warmest congratulations to her father and his fiancée Ashanti on their pregnancy announcement.
The 30-year-old mom of one took to her Instagram stories on Wednesday to express her joy and excitement for the expanding family.
“Team healthy baby. Congratulations to my family. So much success and blessings in store,” she wrote.
Chanelle, affectionately known as Nana, is embracing the joys of motherhood after welcoming her son, Ace, in July 2023.
Just last month, she commemorated Ace turning eight months with a heartfelt post on Instagram, expressing the immense happiness he has brought into her life.
She wrote, “Happy 8 months to my forever pride and joy. Sunshine you turn challenging days into the greatest ones of my life. Mannn I’m speechless when I think of talk about you. So I won’t keep up with these long post. Just know Chanelle’s had a baby so if yall thought I didn’t play before him, don’t let this pretty face fool you because I’m definitely turnt up now.”
Nelly, a proud father of four , shares Chanelle and his son Cornell Hayes III with his former girlfriend Channetta Valentine. Additionally, the rapper adopted his stepsister’s kids, Sydney and Lil’ Shawn, after the tragic loss of their mother in 2005.
The exciting news of Nelly’s impending arrival with Ashanti marks a new chapter in the couple’s journey. The singer confirmed her pregnancy and engagement to Nelly in an exclusive interview with Essence magazine.
“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” Ashanti shared. “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.”
