As reported by The Daily Mail, the 48-year-old rapper posted a video featuring a montage of different clips and photos capturing moments spent with his partner. The hitmaker, who recently confirmed the rekindling of his relationship with the singer, penned an endearing message in the caption of his post to openly convey his affection for the artist.
“Here’s to the birthday girl… She’s a beautiful, incredible person, inside and out, and one of the hardest working women I know. Happy Birthday, Love ya!!!!”
Ashanti playfully referred to her boyfriend as ‘big head’ in a brief comment on the post. Nelly and the Grammy Award-winning artist first crossed paths during the 45th Annual Grammy Awards in 2003. They stayed together for a decade before news of their separation surfaced.
Speculation about a potential reconciliation arose this past April when they were seen holding hands during a boxing match in Las Vegas.
Nelly officially confirmed his reunion with Ashanti in an interview on the Boss Moves With Rasheeda show last September. He expressed, “Yeah, we’re cool again,” and further revealed that the reconciliation was unexpected and not premeditated.
According to an insider who spoke to Us Weekly, the two artists have been savoring their rekindled romance. “A few years ago, Ashanti never would’ve imagined reconciling with Nelly, but they’re enjoying spending time together,” the source shared.
