Kenneth, a successor music industry executive, and Nicki already have a son together. And the two have openly talked about expending their family. Now it looks like it’s happening.
We’ve been hearing for weeks that Nicki – who has been notoriously quiet on social media- was trying to get pregnant.
Nicki’s last pregnancy was difficult, and she and Kenneth are private people – so don’t expect any announcement anytime soon.

But Nicki’s close friend tells us that both Nicki and her new baby are doing well, and that Kenneth is doting over his pregnant wife, like a good and supportive husband.
Congrats to the couple – we can’t wait to see their new baby. And we hope that this time, we get an invite to the baby shower.
