Ashanti recently marked another year of her life, and her husband, Nelly, made sure to celebrate the occasion with a touching tribute. The couple shared a nostalgic beach photo on social media on October 13, with Nelly expressing his admiration in the caption: “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and amazing woman in this world.” He added a heartfelt note, saying, “Marrying you wasn’t just finding love — it was finding home. Love you mama.”
The pair tied the knot in December 2023, and they welcomed their first child, Kareem Kenkaide KK Haynes, shortly thereafter. Ashanti has expressed her desire to expand their family further, hinting at the possibility of having more children. “We’re going to add some more,” she teased, revealing her hopes for a baby girl to bring balance to their household. “Definitely a girl to balance it out. I’m outnumbered in the house right now. So, a girl would be great.”
Last year, during Nelly’s 50th birthday celebration in Las Vegas, Ashanti shared her feelings about their relationship, calling him her soulmate. “It’s priceless, honestly, just to have my soulmate, like my person, like my best friend, like my protector,” she said, emphasizing the special bond they share. She reflected on the importance of gratitude and grace in their relationship, stating, “I’ve learned a lot about… just being grateful, graceful, and giving people grace.”
This affectionate exchange showcases the deep connection between the couple, who continue to support and uplift each other in both their personal and professional lives. Fans can look forward to what the future holds for this loving family as they embark on new adventures together.
