Feuding exes Kelis and Nas have reportedly reconciled.

Kelis filed for divorce in April, citing irreconcilable differences amid rumors of verbal abuse and alleged infidelity. The “Milkshake” star was pregnant with the couples first child at the time — a son named Knight, who is now two months old. Nonetheless, the hip-hop twosome has fueled rumours of a reunion after they attended a party together at New York City’s Marquee on Monday and were seen kissing inside.

A source said: “Nas and Kelis were celebrating his birthday with some friends and you couldn’t tell they were divorcing to look at them. They seemed very intimate and were kissing and hugging and even left together.”

Shortly after Knight’s birth, a court ordered Nas to pay his estranged spouse $30,471 spousal support a month, and also provide his son with $9,027. He was also ordered to pay $45,000 for Kelis’ legal fees and for a forensic accountant.

The couple married in Atlanta in 2005.

A judge has ordered Nas to pay his estranged wife nearly $44,000 in monthly support for the near future, The Associated Press reported on Thursday. The move comes one day after R&B singer Kelis gave birth to the divorcing couple’s baby boy, Knight Jones.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Louis Meisinger issued the order during a Thursday afternoon hearing.

In April, Kelis, whose full name is Kelis Rogers, filed for divorce from the rapper after four years of marriage. The two have spent the past several months arguing over support payments.

Nas was banned from witnessing the birth of his baby boy because he was too drunk.

The hip-hop star had been performing in New York earlier in the night, where he announced to fans in the crowd that he was drunk on champagne, according to the gossip site. Nas later turned up at the bedside of his estranged wife — R&B singer Kelis –but staff turned him away, reportedly because he was under the influence of alcohol.

A statement issued by Kelis’ publicist early Thursday seems to support at least the claims that the new father was no where to be found when Kelis’ “Milkshake” brought a baby boy to the yard.

“Kelis gave birth to Knight Jones last night on July 22nd around 9PM. Weighing a healthy 7.8lbs, the beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful. This was a natural birth and Kelis had been in labor since early Monday morning around 2AM. Knight was delivered in a NYC hospital with her mother and sister in the room.”

Kelis is already Tweeting on the birth of her new son:

Ok so I did it, he’s 7.8 pounds of the greatest stuff on earth…I was in labor for 3 of the longest most painful days of my life. I don’t understand when women say they don’t remember giving birth…I will remember for the rest of my life. He’s kinda perfect btw.

Nas says he isn’t half the man his soon-to-be ex thinks he is — at least financially.

Nas has hit back at estranged wife Kelis demands for financial support, insisting his monthly salary is no where near as high as the singer thinks it is.

The pregnant “Milkshake” hitmaker filed for divorce in April, and recently declared she was desperately seeking money from her ex to help cover her mounting medical bills and other expenses associated with the pending arrival of the couple’s son.

In her court papers, Kelis alleged Nas pocketed $11 million from his 2006 album deal with Def Jam Records, but Nas claims he made just $4 million, stating, “I did not receive even half that amount.”

We’ve all been wondering what caused Nas and Kelis to separate within two months of having a baby?

In an interview with Angela Yee’s Shade 45 satellite radio show, former XXL editor-in-chief Elliott Wilson revealed some news about the relationship, revealing that the pair got into an argument last week and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“The final straw went down last Friday when they had a disagreement, and they haven’t seen each other since to my knowledge,” said Wilson, who now heads RapRadar.com where he broke the news.

As the interview continued, more info was revealed.

On the women Nas was cheating on his pregnant wife with:“She had found a certain young lady’s photos and inappropriate text, correspondence between a certain young lady on the side … I don’t believe it’s a famous woman. I believe it’s a black chick from Virginia who may be a promoter of some sort, but definitely not a famous chick..”

On the verbal abuse allegations:
“The biggest issue I heard is a lot of him just talking to her crazy…besides physically abusive they can be verbally abusive…A lot of the drama I’m hearing had to do with that aspect too.”

On the breaking point:
“To find out your man’s cheating on you when your seven months pregnant in a blatant way makes Kelis feel like this is the breaking point and she’s calling the lawyer.”

Kelis officially filed for divorce on Thursday in Los Angeles, citing both verbal abuse and infidelity as the cause.

She is currently pregnant with their first child, due in July.

Shocking!!!

Nas, one of the biggest and richest rappers around, does not want to pay his estranged, pregnant wife Kelis, a penny in spousal support.

Kelis filed for divorce April 30. She’s weeks from giving birth and unable to work, but no matter to Nas — he’s filed his response to the divorce, asking the judge to deny her the spousal support she’s seeking. For bad measure, he also wants her to pay her own lawyer’s fees.

Nas and Kelis both want joint custody of their unborn child.

Kelis cites “irreconcilable differences” for the divorce, but we’re told she believes he was cheating on her and that’s what buzz-killed the marriage.

This isn’t gonna end good at all.
