Well this is interesting! According to a new report from TMZ Ashanti and Nelly are married and have been for about 6 months.
According to public records, the two music stars are legally man and wife — and their marriage date is listed as having been recorded on December 27, 2023 … so, a whole 6 months ago.
The paperwork doesn’t specify what city they tied the knot in — but it became official in St. Louis County, so all signs point to them doing the deed in Nelly’s hometown.
FWIW, they haven’t had a public ceremony yet, but have been teasing their wedding in recent weeks.
Of course, this is major news … especially since these two just keep on surprising us.
Remember, it was a couple months ago that Ashanti confirmed she and Nelly were expecting their first child together — with her coming out publicly with the pregnancy news amid mounting speculation that she was carrying a child.
Not only did Ashanti come out and say she was pregnant — she also dropped the bombshell she and Nelly were engaged.
Now, we’re learning they’ve gone a bit further and made their relationship official in the eyes of the law.
It’s a full-circle moment for them — They just rekindled their romance last year after first dating way back in the 2000s, when they were two of the biggest artists in the game.
