The couple's journey has been extensive, initially dating from 2003 before separating for a decade. They rekindled their relationship in September 2023 and quietly married in December of the same year. Their family grew with the arrival of their son, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes (KK), in July 2024.
Reflecting on their relationship in a 2025 interview, Nelly and Ashanti emphasized the importance of communication, especially given their demanding travel schedules. "Communication is extremely important," Ashanti noted, highlighting its necessity when they are on opposite sides of the world.
