But in a dramatic reversal fit for its chart-topping single, the hip-hop power couple Nelly and Ashanti transformed a painful breakup into a full-blown romantic revival. They’re opening the doors and letting fans watch every vulnerable, messy, and beautiful moment.
In an exclusive new trailer for their upcoming reality show Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together, the now-married duo doesn’t shy away from the wounds of their past. Seated next to each other, it might as well be a group session instead of a TV confessional; the pair get real about the profound bitterness that set in after their breakup in 2013.

“I detested her,” Nelly bluntly confesses. Without missing a beat, Ashanti shoots back: “I hated him.”
Yet perhaps what will shock fans even more than that is just how far they’ve come since. Cut to the present, Nelly and Ashanti are not only back on but also a married couple raising a son. Their December 2023 wedding was the icing on the cake of a year that had also brought them a baby boy in July 2024.
Now, as We Belong Together is set to premiere, the duo is opening up about their second shot at love one that wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.
“I didn’t say that we were going to get back together,” Ashanti confesses in the trailer, a point likely shared by longtime fans who remember their rollercoaster romance. Nelly, that consummate charmer, gives us a wide grin and says, “She got me, ya’ll!”
The show teases an inside look at their life as newlyweds and new parents, navigating high-profile careers and the challenges of co-parenting and co-starring. And it’s not all sweet kisses and family game nights, either, but a deep dive into growth, healing, and how to start laughing and loving again.
“We’ve grown. We’re grown,” Ashanti intones in the teaser, sounding more soothing than triumphant. “But we’re still trying to have fun,” Nelly adds a reminder that, for all of this love story’s boasting, there is a healthy undercurrent of swagger and playfulness.
As for the future? Ashanti’s already got plans. “We’re going to put some more on,” she told E! News earlier this year. “A girl to even out the score. At home right now, I’m outnumbered in the house.
From hating each other’s guts to making a life and perhaps more babies? Together, Nelly and Ashant’s love story is living proof. Sometimes, a sequel is better than the original. The series We Belong Together is scheduled to debut later this year, and if this teaser indicates, it will be a wild, heartwarming ride.
