Hip-hop Power Couple Nelly and Ashanti Reunite in New Reality Show
Nelly and Ashanti, the iconic hip-hop couple, have come together once again in their new reality show, “Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together,” now streaming on Peacock. The show takes viewers on a journey through their rekindled romance, marriage, and parenthood, offering an intimate look into their lives a decade after their initial breakup.
The duo is also set to release a country-inspired single titled “Spin the Block,” adding another dimension to their creative collaboration.
While Nelly and Ashanti are open about many aspects of their lives, they are maintaining privacy when it comes to their son, “KK.” Throughout the series, his face is either blurred or hidden, a decision made by Ashanti due to her anxiety as a first-time mother.
Nelly, a father of four, including two adopted children, emphasizes the importance of revisiting past relationships when the good outweighs the bad. Ashanti echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the need to avoid returning to negative situations.
The couple first met in 2003 and had a highly publicized breakup in 2013. Fans were surprised when they embraced during a Verzuz performance in 2021, marking the beginning of their reconciliation journey.

Both Nelly and Ashanti provide insights into their lives, with Nelly highlighting Ashanti’s multifaceted personality beyond her public persona. Ashanti, known for her privacy, trusts Nelly’s vision for the show, showcasing a different side of herself to viewers.
Addressing recent rumors of another pregnancy, Ashanti mentions their focus on KK’s upcoming first birthday, hinting at their desire for more children in the future.
