Love is in the air (and apparently, baby gifts). Happy couple, Nelly and Ashanti, who are expecting their first child together, recently celebrated with a surprise baby shower orchestrated by Nelly himself. The intimate affair, held on June 30, took place at the luxurious Dolce & Gabbana Children’s Boutique in New York City.

Nelly, known for his smooth moves, put together the picture-perfect surprise. Videos captured the heartwarming moment Ashanti walked into the venue, completely unaware of the celebration awaiting her. Gasps of delight turned into cheers as she saw the room filled with loved ones, all there to shower her with love and baby gifts.

Ashanti, radiant in a white and yellow ensemble, couldn’t hide her surprise and joy. Laughter and tears mingled as she embraced close family and friends, including rapper Fat Joe and his wife Lorena Cartagena, who documented the event with a sweet Instagram post expressing their well wishes for the couple.

While details about the shower’s theme are private, glimpses from social media show a bright and airy atmosphere bathed in sunshine yellow and crisp white balloons. The color palette suggests the couple is keeping their baby’s sex a surprise, adding another layer of excitement to their journey into parenthood.

This surprise shower comes amidst rumors that Ashanti and Nelly may already be hitched. Though they’ve remained tight-lipped about their marital status, the undeniable love and excitement radiating from them speaks volumes.

From surprising the mother-to-be to the beautiful venue and the outpouring of love, it’s clear Nelly put his heart into creating a memorable celebration for Ashanti. With their baby on the way and their love story taking a new chapter, Ashanti and Nelly are glowing brighter than ever. Congratulations to the happy couple! We can’t wait to meet the newest member of their beautiful family.
