Ashanti dazzled at Nelly's recent Wild West-themed party, just a few months after welcoming their first child together. The celebration was lively and filled with excitement, and Ashanti’s presence brought an added touch of glamour to the festivities.

The relationship between Nelly and Ashanti has been marked by love and resilience. Their journey began in 2003 when they first met at a Grammy Awards press conference, quickly evolving into a romantic relationship. However, after dating for nearly a decade, the couple parted ways in 2013. Destiny intervened in 2021 during a Verzuz battle featuring Ja Rule and Fat Joe, where they unexpectedly reunited on stage.

Following their reconnection, Nelly and Ashanti’s romance flourished. By September 2023, they publicly confirmed their reunion, and in December of the same year, they tied the knot in a private ceremony, ushering in a new chapter in their lives. Ashanti announced their engagement and pregnancy in April 2024, sharing this joyous milestone with her fans.

On July 18, 2024, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Kareem Kenkaide Haynes. Ashanti expressed her elation, stating, "Funny how life’s plans aren’t always on time… I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now, but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings!"
