SHOCKING TRUTH: Nelly and Ashanti Spill the Tea on Their Rocky Past and Steamy Romance!

In a jaw-dropping trailer for their upcoming Peacock reality series, Nelly and Ashanti are giving fans a glimpse into their whirlwind romance, including their fiery past and steamy present. The power couple, who tied the knot in December 2023 and welcomed their first child together in July 2024, is set to premiere on June 26th.

The trailer drops some major truth bombs as Nelly, 50, and Ashanti, 44, sit down for a confessional and reveal the real story behind their on-again, off-again romance. "I hated him," Ashanti confesses, while Nelly chimes in with, "She got me y'all."

The Dilemma rapper and Foolish songstress officially tied the knot in December 2023 and welcomed their first child together in July 2024

The pair's rocky past dates back to their initial split in 2013, but it seems that time apart was just what they needed to grow and mature as individuals. As Ashanti puts it, "We both were pretty much doing what we do... But sometimes being separate, you understand one another more."

Fast-forward to the present, and Nelly and Ashanti are clearly still going strong. The trailer shows the couple attending events, partying together, and even having a laugh at each other's expense. When asked about their secret to success, Ashanti gushes, "It's priceless, honestly, just to have my soulmate, like my person, my best friend, my protector... It's an amazing feeling."

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows for the power couple. As Nelly reveals in a voiceover, "With our lives moving so fast... It's not perfect. But we can work our way through it." The pair also struggles to decide where they should settle down, with Ashanti joking that she's outnumbered in the house by their little boy, Kareem 'KK' Haynes.

The latest teaser - which officially dropped on Thursday - gave a glimpse into the couple's life as newlyweds and parents while also balancing their busy careers

Despite the challenges, Nelly and Ashanti are clearly committed to making their love last. As they prepare to premiere their reality series on June 26th, fans are left wondering what other juicy secrets the couple will spill during their eight-episode journey.
