Ashanti has revealed that shes engaged to Nelly and the two are expecting their first child together.

On Wednesday, the Foolish singer revealed that shes pregnant through a witty Instagram clip where her mother and manager, Tina Douglas, asks her how much time shell need before a show.

Im gonna need about nine months, Ashanti says, looking into the camera.

She confirmed the pregnancy news to Essence and also announced her engagement to the Country Grammar rapper, with whom she reunited last year after years of on-and-off involvement.

This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation, Ashanti said. Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fianc, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.
