As rumors spread about the pair’s romance in Las Vegas Saturday night, Ashanti and Nelly – who have been linked since the 2000s – are fueling their romantic rumors once again. Many of their fans weighed in on their potential renewed romance on social media during the boxing match between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. The video footage from the event showed both Nelly and Ashanti holding hands as they exited the venue despite their calm behaviour during the fight. There is no official confirmation or denial from Nelly and Ashanti on whether or not they are back together – or just good industry friends.

While romance rumors have been swirling for months, this is clearly not the first instance. When she appeared on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” that same month after their steamy onstage performance of “Body On Me,” Ashanti discussed her relationship with Nelly. Over the years, the couple has maintained tight-lipped secrecy about the terms of their relationship. In an interview with “Sway in the Morning,” Ashanti admitted to Nelly being her first true love. This is a fairly minor industry. Are we going to connect? Yeah… I’m not bitter, she subsequently told Hot 97. I feel like ping-pong in a relationship. You either adore them or despise them. That is a true fact; everybody experiences it.
A Fight Night Date In Vegas Reignites Romance Rumors Between Nelly And Ashanti
There was no doubt excitement among fans of Ashanti and Nelly after a video circulated on social media over the weekend, suggesting the longtime on-again, off-again couple might have been spotted out. Both musicians attended the sold-out Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia match at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night and appeared happy to be sitting ringside together. Nelly, 48, and Ashanti, 42, appeared to be holding hands after the fight in video footage. Fans have long speculated about Ashanti and Nelly’s romance, as both artists have been coy about whether they are romantically involved or just friends, in the press. When PEOPLE asked Ashanti about their relationship in 2005, she admitted they had gone out, but that they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend – though three years later, she teased that they would be getting engaged soon. In response, Ashanti joked, Who said we had a relationship? While in an interview with Hot 97 in 2013, she laughed off questions about the rapper.
The rapper and Ashanti danced and grinded alongside each other during Power 98.3 and 96.1’s Under the Mistletoe concert in December. ” Foolish” singer appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen shortly after the performance, and she expressed shock at the number of fans pleading for this couple to reconcile. My reaction was wow. There were a lot of comments and a lot of people who wanted that, she said. I will say that we are in a better place now. Rather than responding to Cohen’s question about whether or not they would get back together, Ashanti made exasperated sounds before saying, “I don’t.”. Ashanti and Cohen had previously kept their relationship under wraps. In 2014, Ashanti admitted that Nelly was her first real love in a Sway in the Morning interview. The industry is very small. Will we be able to see each other? Later, she told Hot 97, “I’m not bitter.”. Relationships are like ping-pong. There are times when you love them and times when you hate them. That is a factual statement, everybody goes through that.
So here for Nelly and Ashanti getting back together 🥰
