Fans have been speculating for months whether or not Minaj has been pregnant when she tweeted about her food cravings after being asked what she's cooking during quarantine, and alluded to symptoms of morning sickness. She also posted a video of her husband, Kenneth Petty, rubbing her stomach back in February.

In 2018, Nicki Minaj in an interview with Wonderland had revealed how much she wanted to have kids. "I’ve got to get married first then I’ll have a child. I might be closer than people think actually,” she said. "I love children. I’m not going to put that off for much longer."
Minaj and Petty have been married since October 2019. She recently described their marriage as "refreshing and calming." Congrats to the couple!
