Fans celebrated the pregnancy in the comments section of her post. "Between her genes and Nelly genes, that's gonna be adorable munchkin," one user wrote. Another added: "She’s pregnant at 43 let this be a perfect example that your biological clock doesn’t end at 35 like people claim smh. God can do anything. Im 31 if it takes me to age 40 to have a kid oh well."
