The streaming service announced on Friday, May 9, that Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together has been greenlit and is set to premiere some time next month. The show will follow the couple’s journey as they navigate life as a newly married couple, which comes more than 20 years after they first started dating.
“Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together, follows the electrifying journey of this beloved couple as they reignite their love, navigate the ups and downs of newlywed life and the challenges of parenthood while juggling their thriving careers,” a press release says about the upcoming series. “Can this unstoppable duo prove that their love truly can conquer all? A fun-filled exploration of love’s second chances.”
Though the couple have let us in on some of their relationship since rekindling their romance, there’s obviously a lot more story to tell. Nelly and Ashanti first met in 2003 at a Grammy Awards press conference and started dating thereafter. They kept their relationship private through the mid-2010s before finally calling it quits in 2013
Years later, the pair unexpectedly reunited onstage in 2021 during Ja Rule and Fat Joe’s Verzuz battle, sparking relationship rumors. But, it wasn’t until two years later, in September 2023, that Nelly and Ashanti confirmed they were back together in an interview. After that, things sped up, with Ashanti announcing the couple’s engagement and pregnancy in April 2024. News broke later that the second-chance sweethearts were already married, having secretly tied the knot in December 2023.
Since Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together is set to chronicle their lives as newlyweds, we likely won’t get to see any behind-the-scenes from before or during their secret marriage–but we will get more insight into the private life of two stars and longtime lovers.
