This will be her first child with husband Kenneth Petty, who she wed in Oct. 2019 after more than a year of dating. As fans might recall, Minaj and Petty obtained a marriage license in July 2019, months before officially announcing the news.
“I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness,” Minaj previously confessed. “It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there, I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.”
Minaj has also previously shared that she was looking forward to becoming a mother and was willing to give up her career to achieve that dream.
“I’ve decided to retire and have my family,” she tweeted in September 2020. “I know you guys are happy now.”
