It looks like the second time around really is better than the first time for Ashanti and Nelly. The pair were one of the silent “it” couples in the early 2000s for about a decade. After calling it quits in 2013, there was no real signs that the two would ever double back. But an infamous hug from Nelly at a 2021 Verzuz led the two to becoming reacquainted with one another. They reunited as a couple, and by April 2024, they announced that they were engaged. Not only that but Ashanti was also pregnant with their first child together. Several media outlets reported that public records show the couple had quietly tied the knot already in December 2023.
