This marks Nicki and Kenneth’s first child together. In fact, exactly a year before welcoming their newborn, the couple tied the knot in October 2019. Although, the pair obtained a marriage license in July 2019, they didn’t officially share their wedding news until three months later.

One month before officially announcing the wedding news, Nicki told her followers she was ready to settle down and put her music career on the back burner.
“I’ve decided to retire and have my family,” she wrote on Twitter in September 2019. “I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box—cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.”
Shortly after, she apologized to her millions of fans for the “abrupt” post.
I’m still right here. Still madly in love with you guys & you know that. In hindsight, this should’ve been a Queen Radio discussion & it will be. I promise u guys will be happy. No guests, just us talking about everything. The tweet was abrupt & insensitive, I apologize babe ♥️🙏 https://t.co/eS0oHipwtg

Previously, Nicki made it clear that she was focused on the things that brought her joy.
“I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness,” she described. “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.”
In December 2018, Nicki and Kenneth made their relationship official after months of sparking romance rumors. Fast forward to now, they re no longer a party for two.
