Nelly and Ashanti are offering fans a deeper look into their relationship with the premiere of their reality show, We Belong Together, now streaming on Peacock. The eight-episode series, which debuted on June 26, 2025, provides an inside glimpse of their lives as a wedded couple and parents to their son, Kareem “KK,” and as influential figures in the entertainment industry.
The couple, who first met in 2003 and dated for a few years before parting ways in 2013, reunited in 2021. After crossing paths at an industry event, Nelly reached out to Ashanti, and they quickly rekindled their relationship. The duo married in 2023 and welcomed their son the following year. Reflecting on their reunion, Ashanti admits she never anticipated getting back together with Nelly, but now believes that what’s meant to be will be.
In We Belong Together, the couple shares their journey through parenthood and the challenges of balancing their personal and professional lives. Ashanti, a first-time mother, describes herself as protective of her son, ensuring his diet is organic and clean. Nelly, on the other hand, jokes that he doesn’t worry as much about KK’s well-being, bringing a lighter perspective to their parenting dynamic. Notably, the couple has chosen to keep their son's face private, both on social media and in the series.
Nelly, who has previous reality TV experience with Nellyville, pitched the idea for the series himself. He wanted to share with fans how charismatic Ashanti is and provide a true representation of their lives together. Despite their hectic schedules, which include Nelly's recent song release and Ashanti's ongoing tour, they made time to film the show, balancing their family life and careers.
The series showcases the couple’s evolution and offers an authentic portrayal of their love and partnership.
