Although we haven’t seen any official pictures of Ashanti and Nelly’s baby boy, we can picture how adorable he is by how his parents light up when discussing him. Draped in ornate gold attire, the couple shared with ET that their son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, or “KK” as they affectionately call him, has recently discovered his toes. “He’s a happy baby, and he recently just found his toes,” Ashanti revealed. “So now he grabs his feet whenever he can, like when he’s laying down, and he smiles all the time.”

Nelly added to the conversation by joking and doting over how beautiful it is to watch his partner put her all into caring for their son. “She treats him like a Build-A-Bear. He doesn’t leave the house. He changes outfits like three times in the house,” the “Hot in Herre” rapper quipped. The St. Louis native continued to admire Ashant’s parenting skills and revel in the joy he receives from observing her taking care of their tyke, “To watch someone care about someone else so much and give their all and is willing to give their all. She’s an awesome mom,” he boasted.
