Minaj announced her pregnancy in July by sharing a few glammed-up Instagram photos of her showing her baby bump. \"Preggers,\" she captioned an image of herself wearing curly yellow wig and a floral-themed bra.
\"Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude,\" she captioned another photo of herself, reclining on a pink sofa. In yet another photo, Minaj wore a blue wig styled into an updo, while sporting a pink-and-blue ruffled top.

Minaj, 37, married her husband last October. The couple dated as teenagers and reconnected in 2018.
It's been a dream for the \"Move Ya Hips\" rapper to become a mother, which she revealed during a 2015 Cosmopolitan interview. Speaking about the future, she said she saw herself married with two children.
\"Ten years from now, I will have two children, unless my husband wants three. I will be into my fitness a lot more, I will stop yo-yo dieting, and I'll be a housewife with careers that I can run from home,\" she said. \"I want to be able to cook for my children, bake cookies for them, and watch them grow up. I just want to be Mommy. Take them to school, go to the parent-teacher conference, help them with their homework, and put their work on the refrigerator.\"
