Nicki Minaj is showing off her baby boy's tiny foot!
Marking her one-year wedding anniversary with husband Kenneth Petty, the "Anaconda" rapper, 37, shared a sweet close-up snapshot of her 3-week-old son's foot. "Happy Anniversary, my love ♥️," she captioned the post.
Minaj revealed the news that she and Petty had tied the knot on October 21, 2019, with a video on Instagram at the time, showing matching "Mr. and Mrs." mugs and black-and-white baseball caps with "Bride" and "Groom" written across the front.
Keeping it simple, she captioned the brief clip, "👰🏽🤵🏽😢🙏🏽🎀 Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10•21•19" — referencing her new official name.
The artist then announced that she was expecting her first child with Petty in July, alongside a series of glam snapshots featuring the singer baring her baby bump on Instagram.
