"Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10 • 21 • 19," read the caption below the post, in which she apparently shared her new legal name and the date she made the bond with her boyfriend official.
Last month, she spoke to People magazine about how much she likes married life.
"When you have someone who feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you, it just makes you feel like you're on top of the world," said Minaj.
This will be Minaj's first child.
