In two of the photos, the then-mom-to-be rocked a curly, bright-yellow hairdo, an intricately decorated bikini, and sparkly platform stilettos. Another showed her in a ruffled bottom, white knee-high stockings, and a blue done-up hairstyle, complete with a bright-green bow.

“Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the good wishes,” she wrote.

Also, the announcement came nine months after Minaj and Petty tied the knot within less than one year of dating. A month before the wedding, she shocked her fans with a surprise retirement announcement, stating that she wanted to start a family.

“I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me … Love you for LIFE,” she wrote on Twitter.
