As Ashanti stands on the brink of motherhood, the couple’s whirlwind reunion and secret wedding have been the talk of social media. But Nelly’s confession has left many questioning his motives and feeling for Ashanti.

In a candid interview, Nelly admitted that he decided to marry Ashanti because she was pregnant, saying he didn’t want her to be “just another baby mom.”

Instead of focusing on their love or excitement about their future together, he made it sound like marriage was simply a way to avoid stigma. Fans were quick to point out the lack of romance in his explanation, especially given Ashanti’s loyalty and the couple’s long, complicated history.

Nelly and Ashanti first dated in 2003, split, and then got back together a decade later. Their relationship was always under the spotlight, but after reuniting in 2023, things moved quickly.

Ashanti became pregnant, and the two quietly tied the knot in December 2023. Nelly, who already has two children from a previous relationship and has adopted his late sister’s kids, said he wasn’t planning on marriage until the pregnancy news forced the conversation.

During the interview, Nelly explained, “We hadn’t talked about marriage yet. I just thought, let’s do this because everything’s moving so fast. I didn’t want her to be a baby mama.”

While some fans acknowledged that many couples marry when a baby is on the way, others argued that Nelly, as a public figure, should have offered a more loving, respectful narrative—one that Ashanti and their child could look back on with pride.

Ashanti herself was shocked by the proposal and the pregnancy. She admitted she never thought she and Nelly would get back together after their breakup, saying, “Never in a million years did I think we’d be here.”

She described the proposal as an intimate, low-key moment at home—Nelly in his T-shirt and boxers, her not expecting it at all. Despite the surprise, she was overjoyed and shared the news with friends and family right away.

However, Ashanti also revealed she expected a dream wedding, only to find out she’d be giving birth before they could plan anything big. It became clear that the wedding was rushed and not the fairy tale she had imagined.

Fans were quick to sympathize with Ashanti, expressing disappointment that she didn’t get the romance she deserved after years of standing by Nelly through various scandals and hardships.

The internet’s reaction has been mixed. Some say Nelly was just being honest about a situation many couples face, while others feel Ashanti deserved better—especially after waiting so long for their relationship to come full circle.

Ultimately, fans hope that Nelly respects and honors Ashanti, and that she finds happiness, regardless of how their marriage began. The story is a reminder that, while real-life relationships aren’t always fairy tales, respect and love should always come first.
