Nelly and Ashanti 'peed in his grandmother's Chanel purse'
Nelly and Ashanti's baby boy peed in his grandmother's Chanel purse.
The loved up couple - who had an on-off relationship together for over a decade from 2003 before reconciling in 2023 - have 10-month-old son Kareem, aka KK, together and the proud parents joked he already has "some aim" at the worse times.
Speaking to E! News, Nelly - who has Chanelle, 30, and Cornell, 25, with Channetta Valentine - was asked what he'd learnt from being a parent before, and quipped: "Don't get peed on!
"I learned from my first son - I've been shot in the eye before! It's not cool, not cool.
"But she knows what I'm talking about now! When I first was telling her about it she had no clue.
"Between her and his grandmother's purse... the boy got some aim!"
Ashanti, 44, burst out laughing, and revealed KK "shot" into her mother Tina's Chanel purse.
She joked: "He made a permanent dent!"
Despite the awkward moments, both stars are open to the idea of having more children in the future.
Ashanti said: "I think we both wanna kinda grow a family. it's funny, when I was younger I was like, 'I want six kids! Six!' "
In the meantime, the loved up couple are sharing their lives on screen in new reality show Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together.
Nelly, 50, revealed he let his wife - whom he secretly married after their reunion - decide whether or not their son should feature on the programme.
He explained: "When it came to KK, that was definitely her decision, her being a new mother and the anxiety of putting it out there, showing your first child to the world.
"Hopefully we can inspire [people]!"
Meanwhile, Ashanti wants fans to know that they're not sugarcoating or exaggerating their life for the sake of the show.
She added: "I hope the fans get that we are just authentically, organically living our lives. It's not, like, 'for the cameras!'
"These are our lives, we have careers, we're newly married, we have our first child together, he already has kids!"

Designer Effie Kats had a ‘brave' fashion moment which she now regrets
This story is part of the June 29 edition of Sunday Life. See all 13 stories. Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, designer Effie Kats. How would you describe your style? There's a duality. During the day I keep it simple with clean silhouettes and some subtle structure; at night my look becomes softer and more intuitive with a hint of drama. I predominantly wear my own labels. Effie Kats is evening wear and Bayse Brand is more casual, so I'm covered. What's the oldest thing in your wardrobe? A Chanel belt – the classic gold chain with black leather woven through it and a gold medallion – from the 1980s. And the most recent addition? The 'Boat' bag from Korean label OSOI. I like supporting smaller independent brands, it feels more personal, less about trends and more about unique design. What would you wear … on a first date? My go-to is the classic 'jeans and a nice top' formula – maybe the Bayse Brand 'Amrita' bodysuit – with a pair of Paris Texas 'Lidia' mules. … on a plane? Loose jeans, an oversized tee, sports jacket, loafers and my The Row 'Margaux' suede bag. … on the red carpet? I like a timeless silhouette with sharp styling. Selena Gomez and Elsa Hosk do it best. What's your favourite fashion era? When Tom Ford was at Gucci (1994 – 2004). I love the simplicity, the confidence, the sex appeal; it defined the '90s in such a powerful way, and it still resonates today. It had a big impact on me as a designer. Who are your favourite designers? Tom Ford, always. More recently, Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino. There's something powerful in his pared back and elegant designs – the palettes were muted, the silhouettes minimal but the overall impact was so bold. I'm excited to see what he brings to Balenciaga.

Tom Sandoval found cheating controversy 'really hard'
Tom Sandoval found it "really hard" to overcome his cheating scandal. The 42-year-old star was widely criticised after it emerged that he had a months-long affair with Rachel Leviss, which led to his split from Ariana Madix - but Tom has now got his life back on track and he's having fun as a contestant on America's Got Talent. Asked what winning the TV talent show would mean to him, Tom told E! News: "That would be crazy. "That would be so amazing. Obviously, there's such a slim chance because of so many great acts out there, but I would obviously be so happy for the band and for myself." Tom admitted to feeling particularly nervous about Simon Cowell's feedback. Tom said: "He's a legend. I mean they all are, but he definitely has his reputation of being brutally honest." However, Simon and the other judges have been broadly positive about Tom and his band so far. Tom explained: "Seeing Simon Cowell's smile at the end, and Mel B just being like, 'You really put a smile on my face and I loved it. You guys are not ashamed to say that you're a cover man.' Everybody was having a good time and we got a standing ovation. That means so much to me." Tom also appreciates how fans have embraced him, following his 2023 cheating scandal. In a message to fans, Tom said: "It was really hard. Thank you for following along and hopefully we do well and I do them proud. Wish us the best of luck." Meanwhile, Tom previously admitted that he wears his cheating scandal as a "badge of shame". The reality star said to Ariana on the Vanderpump Rules reunion episode: "I know you don't want to be around me. "Whatever our relationship was the good, the bad - whatever you did, whatever I did - it doesn't matter. You didn't deserve that. And I'm really sorry, from the bottom of my heart." Tom admitted to regretting his affair and acknowledged that he'd struggled to move on from the controversy. He told his ex-girlfriend: "Ariana, I regret it every day. I wear it as a badge of shame. I did the thing that I said I would never do and I did it."
