Ashanti Shocked by Nelly's Proposal


Two months ago rekindled 90s couple Ashanti and Nelly announced they were engaged and expecting their first child together [click here if you missed that]. 

Ashanti admits the proposal took her completely by surprise...

So how did Nelly ask one of the biggest questions of his life? "It was just such a beautiful, intimate moment," she recalls. "We were not dressy."
Watching TV in bed while wearing his T-shirt and boxers, Ashanti was "completely" shocked.
"I cried. I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever," she describes. "I FaceTimed everyone I know... I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised and happy kind of like all in one."
With their little one on the way, Ashanti confirmed she'll give birth before they tie the knot. As for what those wedding festivities will entail, Ashanti says she has to have a beach, sunshine, and palm trees as she says "I do" to Nelly in a moment decades in the making.
"The growth has been like superb, you know, like on both ends," she says of their relationship now as compared to a decade ago. "We are both at a place where like before, sometimes we would argue and walk out, slam the door, and not talk for a few days."
"Now," she says, "it's kind of like, 'All right, you good?' You know, give me a kiss goodbye and it's over... It's not like holding on and bickering and we find out what the resolution is. We apologize... It used to take me a little longer to apologize."
"I think just we both are so passionate about working and about building family," she says. "We are so, so aligned."
