Nelly Pens Sentimental Message About His & Ashanti’s Marriage While Celebrating Her 45th Birthday
On Monday, October 13, Ashanti celebrated her 45th birthday, apparently coming off the heels of a tropical vacation at The Cove Atlantis in the Bahamas.
The tropical footage was shared by Ashanti last week, and since then, she’s been active on Instagram, reposting her received birthday shoutouts. On Tuesday, October 14, her hubby, Nelly, took to his Instagram deed to share his own special message for his queen. To note, he also reposted the message via his Instagram Story, emphasizing Ashanti as “MRS Haynes.”
“Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and amazing woman in this world.. Marrying you wasn’t just finding love — it was finding home. Love you mama @ashanti,” Nelly wrote.
Peep the photo he shared alongside his sentimental words below.
For context, the photo appears to be a throwback pic from his and Ashanti’s trip to Anguilla in 2005. Per Google, at the time, their trip and its subsequent photos led the public to begin speculating about whether they were dating.
Social Media Weighs In
Social media users reacted to Nelly’s sentimental words for his wife in his comment section.
While Instagram user @mswanttaylor added, “I don’t know what love story I love more Ciara & Russell Wilson or Ashanti & Nelly . Both beautiful 🖤 love stories. Happy Born Day Queen”
