Ashanti and Nelly to Star in New Family Reality Show

Ashanti and Nelly are set to transition from stage to screen with a new reality show focused on their expanding family. The engaged couple, who rekindled their relationship in April 2023, will soon begin pre-production for the show in Nelly’s hometown of St. Louis, according to TheJasmineBrand.

The series will delve into their love story, showcasing their affection and the blending of their families. Both continue to advance their music careers while preparing for their new addition. Ashanti recently celebrated her pregnancy with a baby shower. Nelly, from a previous relationship with Channetta Valentine, has two children: Chanelle (30) and Cornell Haynes III (25).

Viewers will get an inside look at their relationship dynamics and reunion details. Ashanti and Nelly’s relationship began in 2003, split in 2013, and later reunited, now progressing to the next stage of parenthood.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ashanti reflected on their initial split. “After our breakup, I didn’t think we’d ever have a conversation again,” the 43-year-old singer admitted. But fate had other plans, leading to their engagement and growing family.

“It was such a beautiful, intimate moment… I cried, and I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever,” Ashanti shared about her engagement to the 49-year-old rapper.

The couple surprised everyone by secretly marrying in December 2023, as confirmed by ET. While fans eagerly await a wedding ceremony, Ashanti hinted at what to expect: “I think it’s going to be a combination of fashion, glam, [and] Caribbean vibes.” However, supporters will likely have to wait until after the baby’s arrival to see Ashanti walk down the aisle.

Details on which network will air their reality show remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, Ashanti and Nelly appear to be enjoying their renewed love and the anticipation of their new baby.
