Ashanti has finally confirmed she is expecting her first child with fiance Nelly (pictured last month in Washington, D.C.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ashanti also announced her pregnancy with Instagram followers with video promoting her and Nelly\u2019s fertility diagnostics company Proov.<\/p>\n

The video shows Ashanti preparing for a concert before her mother Tina Douglas asks,\u00a0\u2018How much time do you need?\u2019<\/p>\n

Ashanti takes an early pregnancy test from Proov before she emerges from the wings with a swab in hand and says, \u2018I\u2019m going to need about nine months.\u2019<\/p>\n

She captioned the post: \u2018Baby baby baby baby\u2026.\u2019 with a red heart, prayer hands, and silly emoji.<\/p>\n

Proov provides \u2018affordable fertility diagnostics & treatment at home\u2019, according to their website.<\/p>\n

Ashanti and Nelly told Essence they co-own the company with founder Amy Beckley, PhD.<\/p>\n

Ashanti and Nelly rekindled their romance last year 10 years after their initial split.<\/p>\n

The couple first sparked pregnancy rumors back in December while at Nelly\u2019s\u00a011th Black and White Ball at the Four Seasons Hotel in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

During the event, Ashanti raised speculation that she may be expecting after placing her hand on her stomach, as if she was cradling a baby bump.<\/p>\n

While she made the gesture, Nelly also touched his stomach.<\/p>\n
