Nelly's wife Ashanti pumps breast milk while working out...just two months after giving birth to her first child

As a dedicated fan who has followed Ashanti’s career and personal journey for years, I am nothing short of awestruck by her resilience and determination. Just two months after giving birth to her first child with Nelly, she’s back at the gym, multitasking like a pro while pumping breast milk. It’s a testament to her strength and dedication as a mother, artist, and woman.


During a challenging workout routine, it was evident that Nelly’s spouse, Ashanti, demonstrated her exceptional ability to juggle tasks, all this happening only two months following the arrival of their newborn son.

As a new mother, I recently resumed my gym routine and chose to capture my workout on film, which included simultaneously pumping breast milk while breaking a sweat.

In a recently posted video on her Instagram Story (Tuesday), the artist shared an exclusive backstage look at her intense postnatal exercise regimen with her 8.7 million Instagram fans.

With a vibrant light blue sports bra and leggings as her outfit, the artist (formerly known as Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas-Haynes) was noticeably using wireless breast pumps, adding a modern and practical touch to her performance.

‘Got to finish [pumping] before I get on the StairMaster,’ she said in the recording.

In the end, she playfully admitted that she simply chose to carry on wearing the heels while using the StairMaster.

She labeled yet another workout video with the phrase, ‘Let’s get moving!’ prior to tackling her core exercises.

As she posed for a mirror selfie, she referred to herself as ‘Kk’s mama.’ 

On the 18th of July, they (she and Nelly) had their first shared child, a baby boy, whom they named Kareem Kenkaide Haynes.

A month later, she opened up about the meaning of the name of the newborn’s moniker. 

As a devoted follower born in Glen Cove, New York, I shared with Entertainment Tonight the significance behind my precious son’s name.

‘Kenkaide is my dad’s name, and obviously my dad has only girls,’ Ashanti told the outlet.

She shared that the middle name she chose for the baby, Kareem, is of Arabic origin and means ‘someone who is generous, kind, and noble.’

Ashanti stated that it was Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., otherwise known as Nelly, who gave their child his name.

Ashanti shared that her father took great pride in naming her, and he thought the name was exceptionally cool or trendy, she mentioned to the media outlet.

Ashanti shared with the media outlet that they had their baby earlier than expected, and at the very end, Nelly arrived just in time to attend the delivery.

Being there in the delivery room when he made his first appearance, Ashanti couldn’t help but shed tears. It was such a profoundly emotional and spiritual moment,” she shared with the media.

The artist behind songs like “Foolish” and “Rock wit U (Aww Baby)” expressed a thrilling sensation when she experienced parenthood for the first time, as she had been imagining this very moment for quite some time.

Ashanti expressed her complete dedication to parenthood, stating that her child currently holds sway over every aspect of her life. He is her top priority, and she is prepared to make any sacrifices necessary or take on any tasks required – she is ready to give everything and her best for her son.

She added that ‘this little boy has my entire soul wrapped around his finger.’⁠

The performer encouraged other fresh moms to rely on their inner wisdom and stand firm, regardless of the challenges they may face.

Ashanti shared with the media, “A child can truly sense your energy. It’s crucial to ensure they feel both secure and safe, while also making room for your own personal space.

Avoid getting overly engrossed in the baby’s realm. It’s crucial to maintain a healthy balance instead.

Ashanti, who has just given birth to her first child with Nelly, stated, “Since I’m completely new at this, I’m not attempting to provide wisdom of gold.

The couple have been wed since late last year.
