R&B singer Keyshia Cole recently stopped by The Breakfast Club and casually slipped what sounded like a baby announcement. Here's the catch, though: It's not hers. Asked about Ashanti, she smiled sweetly and said, "Shout out to Ashanti, 'cause I mean, she's amazing; she had a baby; she's pregnant again."
The clip was quickly reported on by sites like Hollywood Unlocked and had fans racing to decipher whether Keyshia had just confirmed baby number two or if she was just caught up in the grapevine.

Ashanti is a pro at keeping things private, and at 43, she's shown that if she wants to keep something sanctified, she will. Many of her most devoted fans didn't even know she was expecting until she was already far along the journey. She and Nelly would not acknowledge the news until she could no longer hide her baby bump. Fast forward to today, though, and their son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, is the light of their life.
There is only Ashanti and Nelly, and they have yet to say a word. It's not a mysterious emoji or a wink on Instagram. It's silence, which, in the language of celebrity, is a statement. We still don't have a statement on whether that phrase is a "yes, we are expecting" or a "this is none of your business."
We know that Keyshia Cole's offhand comment has ignited a fresh spark around the couple. Whether she spilled some private tea or echoing online chatter remains to be seen, but speculation is officially making the rounds.
Ashanti has always moved purposefully, whether in her music, romantic life, or motherhood. And Nelly? The man's been nothing but grinning ever since they got back together. And becoming parents has only apparently deepened their bond.
So, are they adding to their family? Possibly. Are we sitting on the edge of our seats for proof? Until then, we'll mark this as just another exciting rumor that, for all we know, may or may not have been said in passing by an innocent friend broadcasting over the nation's airwaves. If Ashanti is pregnant, she'll tell us the news when she is ready. In the meantime, a shoutout to Keyshia Cole for showing us that celebrity interviews are unpredictable no matter who's involved.
