Guess what! Ashanti and Nelly just pulled a fast one on all of us by secretly tying the knot six months ago!
According to TMZ, the 43-year-old songstress and the 49-year-old rapper made their love official on December 27, 2023. Yep, it’s on public record in St. Louis County, where Nelly hails from. Clearly, what happens in St. Louis doesn’t stay in St. Louis!
The dynamic duo has been dropping hints about wedding plans recently, with Ashanti even calling Nelly her “fiancé” in interviews. Talk about a plot twist! Just when we thought they were still in the planning phase, boom! They’re already hitched!
But wait, there’s more! The couple is also expecting their first child together. It’s like they’ve been saving all the surprises for one giant confetti cannon of news. Remember, these two lovebirds started dating way back in 2003, took a hiatus in 2013, and then rekindled their romance last year. Clearly, they believe in taking their time.
Hats off to the newlyweds! We can’t wait to see what other surprises they have up their sleeves. Stay tuned for more juicy deets!
