It feels like just a few months ago that Nelly and Ashanti announced their engagement along with Ashanti's pregnancy—and that because in fact it was, just a few months ago. The “Hot In Here” rapper and the “Rock Wit U” singer announced their engagement in April of this year, so some may find it surprising that the celebrity couple were actually married-in December last year.
That's right, documents obtained from PEOPLE show that Nelly and Ashanti really jumped the broom on December 27, 2023.
Yes-You all have something to do.
Nah, it makes sense that the couple might have wanted to keep their wedding out of the limelight while it was happening. Even iconic R&B and rap artists have a right to privacy when they really need to exercise it. And considering the 49-year-old and 43-year-old first started dating in the early 2000s before splitting in 2013 and rekindling that flame a full decade later, it would make sense that they'd just want to sit back and enjoy their union after the spotlight.
Anyway, when Ashanti recently sat down for an interview Entertainment tonightshe still didn't talk about her wedding, which had already happened, but she did discuss the “beautiful, intimate moment” when Nelly proposed and talked a lot about celebrating Mother's Day for the first time.
From PEOPLE:
Ashanti was celebrated in May her first mother's day as a mother-to-be, sharing the festivities on Instagram. In the photos, she posed with Nelly and other members of her family holding her bump and smiling.
“This Mother's Day was so special,” Ashanti captioned the post. “Having our families together as we embark on such an incredible journey has been amazing. Wishing all the amazing moms and moms a beautiful Mother's Day…!!!! 😆😆😆😆❤️🙏🏽🥳 #eugymnemon 🙏🏽🥰”
He added: “Yes yes I know I'm late… it was so much food I got distracted 🤣🤣 PS… I only had 1 plate 🤣🤣👀”
Congratulations to Nelly and Ashanti on your wedding and your soon-to-be bundle of joy! We wish you continued happiness.
