Congrats! Singer Ameriie Announces Pregnancy To Celebrate Her Birthday

Ameriie is about to be a momma!

The singer let the world know that she’s pregnant with her first child on Instagram on Friday. Her caption simply had two hashtags, #BestBirthdayPresentEver #21weeks#blessed. January 12 also marks the singer’s birthday.

๐Ÿ˜Œโค๏ธ๐ŸŽˆ #BestBirthdayPresentEver #21weeks #blessed ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

In 2011 the Grammy-nominated recording artist married former Columbia Records executive, Lenny Nicholson in Anguilla. The happy couple met when Nicholson was working as her artists and repertoire rep on her second album. 

“Heโ€™s just a gentleman,” Ameriie told ESSENCE soon after their nuptials. “Heโ€™s just so romantic! I love the way he treats my family. He treats my sister just as well as he treats me and thatโ€™s so important to me. She actually mentioned that in her speech. She was my maid of honor.”

“We did traditional vows. The thing with Lenny and I is that we write each other all the time โ€”things like personal emails and love lettersโ€” weโ€™ve always done that. The things that people would probably put in their vows we put into our emails, love letters, and cards to each other so we do a lot of those things.”

In stores today!โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Happy book birthday to all the fantastic people who contributed and made this project possible! ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ #BecauseYouLovetoHateMe #villainisbae

Congrats to the happy couple!
