Ashanti is 'insanely in love' with her son

Ashanti is "insanely in love" with her son. The 44-year-old singer and her husband Nelly welcomed their first child together Kareem Kenkaide Haynes - known as KK - in August and she has now opened about becoming a first-time mom calling her little boy a "blessing" and an "angel". Speaking to PEOPLE at the Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles, she said: "It's amazing.

He's a blessing. He's an angel. My life is amazing right now.



I'm super blessed, so happy. I'm insanely in love with him." Ashanti went on to add KK is a lot like his dad, joking: "[He] has daddy's temper.

When the bottle isn't ready - oh, man." The couple married in secret in December 2023 and their son was born in August 2024. Nelly previously praised his wife's parenting skills telling 'Entertainment Tonight': "She’s an awesome mom, to watch someone care about someone else so much and give their all and is willing to give their all .

.. "Like she said, sometimes it can be too far but you would way prefer to have a parent that goes too far than a parent that doesn’t go far enough.

"It’s a laughable love, in a good way, because I just laugh. I just say, look at this baby. I can’t wait to show him some of the pictures and the videos, like ‘Look at what your mom is doing to you'.

"She treats him like a Build-A-Bear. The boy is three months. Change his outfits in the house.

He doesn’t leave the house. He changes outfits three times in the house. Put his diaper on and a onesie and let him thug.

" Nelly actually announced the pregnancy news before it was even confirmed by a test result. Ashanti subsequently confessed that she didn't know her husband was preparing to share the news with their fans. She explained: "When he blurted that out on stage, we actually did not know.

I hadn't even taken a test at that time.".
