Nelly and Ashanti perfectly exemplify “If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again.” A decade after ending their first relationship, the couple resurrected their romance, focusing on building a firm foundation and longevity this time around. During the second installment of their romance sequel, Nelly made Ashanti a wife and grew their family by one. The family has lots to celebrate, including the “Foolish” singer’s 44th birthday.

Nelly hosts an intimate island-themed dinner party for Ashanti

Nelly gathered his wife’s friends and family for a destination fete to Ashanti Island. Before the Long Island native’s pregnancy, she was spotted on every beach across the Caribbean, wearing the hell out of a bikini. To highlight her love for travel, the “Country Grammar” rapper hosted an island-themed dinner party.

He shared a glimpse of the fete on his Instagram page, accompanied with a heartfelt message.

“Happy Bday To the most beautiful woman in the world.. Putting Smiles on your face is something i wake up thinking about and the thing I love doing the most… grateful to have someone who loves and appreciate me as much as I do them … love you mama,” he wrote.

The singer match his affection with a loving response.

“Awwwwww Thanku babe!!!! U did such an amazing job!!!! You always go out of ur way to make me smile…I love & appreciate u sooooo much!!! I’m so grateful to have the most thoughtful, kindest, loving man in the world! This birthday was so special & meant everything to me. I love u infinitely ,” she wrote.

We love to see our girl receiving the love she deserves. Ashanti’s life turned sharply at 43 when she became a wife and a mother. Now, she’s entering chapter 44 with a new co-leading character who will shape the woman she becomes. What a gift!
