Nicki Minaj has a lot to celebrate these days. The rapper recently gave birth to her first child with husband Kenneth Petty and on Wednesday they celebrated their first wedding anniversary.

To mark the occasion, Minaj shared a photo of Petty holding their newborn son’s foot on Instagram with a sweet caption: “Happy anniversary my love.”

Minaj, 37, and Petty welcomed the newest member of their family into the world in Los Angeles on September 30. While the baby’s name is still unknown, last week Minaj revealed the baby’s gender to fans.

“So in love with my son,” she captioned a photo while also sharing that celebrities like Beyoncé and Kanye West had sent congratulatory gifts her way.

Minaj first announced she was expecting in July 2020 by sharing a series of glam maternity photos on Instagram with the caption “preggers”.
