This comes after Minaj confirmed that she was expecting her first child with her husband, Kenneth Petty, back in July. She revealed her pregnancy in a series of posts on Instagram with a gorgeous maternity shoot. Tributes poured in from across social media as people sent the couple their congratulations and well wishes.

The exciting news arrived nine months after Minaj confirmed that the two officially tied the knot in October 2019, posting a clip of matching “Mr. and Mrs.” mugs along with “Bride” and “Groom” baseball caps.
