A Timeline of How Nelly and Ashanti Found Their Way Back to Each Other

Nelly and Ashanti had people talking when they wore matching outfits to the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight in Las Vegas earlier this month. Then, upping the ante, the former couple performed their 2008 hit “Body on Me” at a pool party together the very next day, and the entertainers danced on each other mid-segment, causing the crowd to go wild.

For those who don’t know, Nelly and Ashanti were one of the music couples that fans adored in the 2000s. They began dating in 2003, released music together, and were reportedly together on and off for a decade. There were also talks of a possible engagement in the future. However, the fairytale ended in 2013, and Ashanti revealed that she felt betrayed by the rapper. As the famous saying goes, time heals all. So much so that during Ashanti’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen appearance last December, she revealed that she was in a better place with her ex after they had a brief encounter at the Fat Joe and Ja Rule Verzuz in September 2021. 

There’s no telling if these two will rekindle their relationship. So in the meantime, let’s take a look back at their history and how they found their way back to each other.
