Ashanti Gushes Over Her Husband Nelly, And Says He’s Her ‘Soulmate’ In Recent Interview

Ashanti and Nelly have been giving fans all the feels with their heartwarming love story. After rekindling their romance in 2023, the power couple sat down for an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight to share insights about their relationship and express their deep admiration for one another.

“It’s priceless, honestly, just to have my soulmate, like my person, my best friend, my protector,” Ashanti said with a radiant smile when asked about her husband. “It’s an amazing feeling. The universe doesn’t make mistakes.”

Nelly, equally smitten, praised Ashanti not just for her love and support but for her character and nurturing spirit. “She’s a great person, she’s a great mother,” he said warmly. “I’ma be completely honest, even when it comes to doing this—having birthday parties and things like that. Me personally, I didn’t have birthday parties until I was giving myself birthday parties. But with her and her family, and the way that they all intertwine and show love, they made these types of situations and events very, very meaningful.”

The couple’s rekindled romance has been filled with milestone celebrations and heartwarming moments. From surprise birthday parties to an intimate island-themed celebration for Ashanti’s 44th birthday, Nelly has consistently shown his dedication to making his wife feel cherished. Earlier in the year, Nelly also hosted a beautiful baby shower for Ashanti as they prepared to welcome their first child together.

During the interview, Nelly playfully opened up about fatherhood and his experiences with their newborn son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, whom they welcomed earlier this year. “He’s a boy and you know, I’ve had boys, but you’re changing them. You have to duck, and I’ve been peed on so much,” Nelly laughed. “I can’t wait to show him some of the pictures and the videos. Like, ‘Look at what your mom was doing to you.’ She treats him like a Build-A-Bear.”

Beyond their newborn, Nelly is also a devoted father to his two children from his previous relationship with Channetta Valentine and has been a loving guardian to his late sister’s two children since her passing in 2005.

The bond between Ashanti and Nelly continues to inspire fans worldwide. Their love story, filled with laughter, support, and mutual respect, serves as a testament to the power of second chances and the beauty of finding your soulmate. As they continue building their family and growing together, one thing is clear: their love is stronger than ever.
