It comes days after Nicole announced she’s pregnant with the couple’s first child.
“New beginnings,” she wrote on Instagram, including a series of snapshots of her gazing at her belly in a white dress. “Wish I had all the right words to describe this journey, but I guess if I had to define it, all I can truly say is: I’m grateful, terrified, anxious, nauseous, HANGRY 😂 all of thee above.
“As a teen mom, I was always hesitant about going thru pregnancy and parenthood again. (Iykyk) I want to thank my daughter for being here for me during this process, always demonstrating unconditional LOVE & reassuring me that, “Everything is alright!” And for now…I choose to protect my peace and this beautiful energy.”
Nicole has a daughter from a previous relationship.
Ball liked the post and left a heart emoji with a lock and key in the comments.
The pair previously attended the BET Awards and posed for photos together on the red carpet on June 9 in Los Angeles.
