So here’s a little cosmic curiosity for you: with Mercury cruising through charismatic Leo today, it’s as if the stars themselves are cheering on Nelly and Ashanti’s latest chapter in the spotlight—because what’s more Leo than love, loyalty, and a little bit of family drama? Now, while Kareem is Ashanti’s first bundle of joy, Nelly’s become a seasoned dad, sharing two older kiddos—Chanelle and Cornell—with his ex, Channetta. Plus, he’s shown some serious heart by adopting his niece and nephew after his sister’s tragic passing. Talk about a family man reborn under the warm Leo sun! And, just when you thought their story couldn’t get any juicier, these two quietly tied the knot at the tail end of 2023, rekindling a romance that started way back in the 2000s. Stars aligning or just perfect timing? You be the judge. LEARN MORE

While Kareem is Ashanti’s first child, Nelly shares two older kids — Chanelle and Cornell — with his ex-girlfriend Channetta Valentine. He also raised and adopted his niece and nephew, Shawn and Sydney Thomas, after his sister, Jackie Donahue, died of leukaemia in 2005.

For some additional context, Nelly, 50, and Ashanti, 44, quietly got married at the end of 2023. Of course, the couple previously dated back in the 2000s, and rekindled things romantically roughly seven years after breaking up.
