Nicki Minaj may be making a baby announcement soon! The rapper’s mother is reportedly pressuring her to start a family with her new husband.

The 36-year old rapper officially tied the knot to Kenneth Petty, 41, in a courthouse ceremony on October 21st. The couple were originally high school sweethearts and only publicly rekindled their romance in December of 2018. Now that they’re husband and wife, sources say Nicki’s mother hopes the two start focusing on expanding their family.

“Nicki’s mom wants her to hurry up and have some babies now that she’s finally married, the pressure’s on,” an insider told Hollywood Life. Despite her mother’s urging, however, it doesn’t sound like Nicki feels as rushed to get pregnant. “Nicki isn’t in quite as much of a rush though, she wants to wait six months or even a year before she gets pregnant,” the source explained.

While Nicki doesn’t have any children at the moment, her new husband is a father-of-five. Since Kenneth has lived his life largely out of the spotlight- well, until he started romancing Nicki- it’s unclear of the names or ages of his children. For now, it sounds like couple just want to focus on each other before bringing a child into the mix.

“She wants to enjoy the newlywed stage with her man before they jump into being mommy and daddy,” the insider continued. "She knows she wants him to be the father of her children, that’s why she married him, so if it were to happen sooner she’d of course be happy about it but ideally she’d like to wait just a little while longer before they go to that stage.”

This past September, Nicki hinted that she had babies on the brain when she made an impromptu retirement post via social media. She implied she wanted to take time off from music to focus on her family.

"I’ve decided to retire & have my family,” she tweeted. “I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me […] in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.”It’s unclear if Nicki really is stepping back from the spotlight until she becomes a mom, but only time will tell.

Unfortunately, her relationship with Kenneth hasn’t been without controversy. The famous husband is actually a registered sex offender in New York. He has served time for sexual assault and manslaughter. Despite the serious criminal charges, Nicki has defended her man to the media, making it clear it’s not a deal breaker for her.
