Nelly and Ashanti's journey love story started when Apple Bottom Jeans were a must and you couldn't interview Nelly without hearing him say “Lil Durty”. The 2003 Grammy Awards press conference was the first time fans spotted Nelly and Ashanti together. We were also treated to a banger like 'Body on Me', which we sang to our fellow high schoolers, pouring our hearts out in the process. Recently (2024) Nelly & Ashanti released their latest collaboration, “This Lil' Game We Play”. After 10 years of dating, the two stars split in 2013. The connection was rekindled in 2023 at a boxing match in Las Vegas. If the block shoot was a couple, it would indeed be Nelly & Ashanti.
Before the couple got back together, Nelly had two children from previous relationships: son Cornell Haynes III (Tre) and daughter Chanelle (Nana). The St.Louis legend also adopted two children from his late stepsister Jaqueline Donahue, who died of leukemia in 2005. Ashanti's love life has always been very private. Many rumors have circulated over the years about who she has dated. In particular, rapper Joyner Lucas confirmed in a recent interview that he and the R&B singer used to love birds for a hot minute.
