Nicki Minaj has just announced her pregnancy on Instagram with an uh-mazing maternity shoot.
Nicki, 37, and her husband Kenneth Petty are expecting their first child together, she has announced today. The couple wed last year, and Nicki hyphenated his last name to hers upon their marriage, becoming Minaj-Petty.
She announced the exciting news in three images shared to her Instagram. In the first image, captioned ‘#Preggers’, she wears a highly embellished bikini, short yellow wig and skyscraper heels (obvs!) and is cradling her baby bump. In the second image she is wearing another bikini-like ensemble, but with stockings and a bright blue bun in her hair, also sweetly holding her bump.
The third image, of her on a baby pink sofa (is this a gender hint?!) is captioned “Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you for all your well wishes”. This is the most Nicki way she could announce her pregnancy!
Loving messages of congratulations have flooded in, with Sam Smith commenting “congratulations beautiful x” and Halle Berry writing “YES Congratulations beauty!!!!” with a sprinkling of emoji hearts. Kristin Cavallari commented “Yessss congrats mama!” and Winnie Harlow wrote “Knew it knew it knew it SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Love you!!” with some cute emojis. This is going to be one very loved baby!
Congratulations Nicki!!
