Ashanti Celebrates Her 44th Birthday With Nelly By Her Side

Ashanti seemed to be having a blast in videos of her 44th birthday celebration over the weekend. In videos on social media from her night out over the weekend, she rocks a pink dress with Nelly by her side. The two appeared to go out for dinner and drinks.

When Live Bitez shared the video on Instagram, fans in the comments section showed plenty of love to the couple. “She’s just always a big ball of happy energy. Always smiling and always youthful,” one fan wrote. Another added: “Nelly don’t know what to do when the camera going around them! Ashanti understood the assignment.”

Ashanti and Nelly married last December and recently welcomed their first child together. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, she reflected on the experience of childbirth. “He actually came a little early,” Ashanti said. “[His] dad had to fly in last minute which was awesome. Just all of these emotions happening at one time, just knowing that this is your person, this is your purpose, this is what it’s supposed to be. And the three of us together, we were all able to hold each other. It was incredible to watch just how confident and gentle and how soothing he is with his son. It was just an amazing, incredible feeling. It’s just an immense feeling.”
