Nelly Serenades Ashanti in Sweet Moment as the Power Couple Prepares for Reality TV Debut
Nelly and Ashanti are reminding fans why they’re one of the most beloved couples in entertainment. The pair recently shared a playful and heartwarming moment from their car ride, with Nelly serenading his wife with a cheeky remix of her hit collaboration with Ja Rule, “Always On Time.”
The clip, which quickly went viral, features the St. Louis rapper tweaking the lyrics of Ja Rule’s original verse to suit the moment, leaving Ashanti giggling in the passenger seat. It was a candid glimpse into their chemistry — full of fun, laughter, and love — and fans can’t seem to get enough.
This joyful display comes as the couple quietly films a new docuseries for Peacock, set to give viewers an inside look into their life as partners, parents, and performers. According to Deadline, the project has been in production for several months and is being produced by Critical Content — the company behind the hit series Catfish. Both Nelly and Ashanti are also signed on as executive producers.
Although no official release date or title has been announced, speculation is swirling that the show will document several major milestones — including their surprise wedding and the birth of their first child, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, in July 2024.
The couple’s journey back to each other has been nothing short of a love story. After dating in the early 2000s and splitting for more than a decade, Nelly and Ashanti reunited in 2023 — and have been inseparable since. Despite their public careers, they’ve kept many personal moments private. News of their marriage only broke when TMZ uncovered a marriage record in June 2024, revealing the pair had quietly tied the knot on December 27, 2023.
Ashanti opened up about their engagement in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, recalling the intimate moment Nelly proposed while they lounged in bed wearing T-shirts and boxers. “It was just such a beautiful, intimate moment,” she said. “I cried. I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever… I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised and happy kind of like all in one.”
Adding to the excitement, rumors are now swirling that Ashanti is expecting their second child. While neither has confirmed the news, The Jasmine Brand reports that the 44-year-old singer is pregnant again — just months after welcoming baby Kareem.
For Nelly, this docuseries marks a return to reality TV following his 2014 BET show Nellyville, which gave fans a look at his life as a father and artist. For Ashanti, however, this will be her first dive into the reality realm — and fans are eager to see her in a more personal, unfiltered light.
Whether they’re goofing off in the car or celebrating big life milestones behind the scenes, Nelly and Ashanti continue to show the world what love, loyalty, and laughter look like in 2025. And if their upcoming docuseries is anything like their recent viral video, viewers are in for something truly special.
