Nelly and Ashanti share love story in new reality series we belong together on peacock
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.

That's So Raven star Anneliese van der Pol is pregnant with first child
Anneliese van der Pol, best known for her role as Chelsea on Disney Channel's That's So Raven, is expecting her first child with husband Johnno Wilson. The couple, who met on the set of Raven's Home, confirmed to PEOPLE that they are preparing to welcome a baby girl in October 2025. Van der Pol, 40, shared the news in an exclusive interview, revealing that the couple found out the baby's gender during a golf-ball reveal that burst into pink powder. 'I didn't realize how much I wanted a girl until he swung and it went pink,' she said. Despite early plans to remain child-free, the couple changed their minds last summer and were about to begin IVF treatments before learning they had conceived naturally. The two Disney alums tied the knot in December 2024. Wilson, who also stars in Twisted Metal on Peacock, added that the decision to start a family came after regular conversations about life goals. 'I highly recommend checking in with each other every few years,' he said. Van der Pol described her pregnancy as peaceful so far, crediting family and friends for helping them set realistic expectations. She noted experiencing typical pregnancy symptoms like cravings and baby movements, saying, 'I think we have another dancer on our hands.' The couple has been preparing for their new arrival using Babylist for their registry. 'It's been a game-changer,' Wilson said.

'Love Island USA' fans divided as Nic and Olandria return to villa as a couple in new episode
Love Island USA season 7 episode 21 aired last night, delivering a surprising twist that saw Nic and Olandria return to the villa as a couple. After being dumped earlier in the season, the two were shown on a date where they received a message presenting two options: remain single and leave the show or re-enter as a couple. Olandria responded, 'Me and you couple up?,' before declaring that returning to the villa was the only right decision. Nic, meanwhile, admitted he had wanted to get to know her from the beginning but felt they never got the chance. Fans quickly took to social media with mixed reactions. Some questioned the authenticity of the move, noting that online support for the pair may have influenced the producers. One viewer wrote, 'this nic and olandria date is definitely scripted.' Another said, 'The producers forcing Nic & Olandria to couple up or go home is the most fan serviced thing I have seen in reality tv in all my years.' Despite scepticism, many were excited to see the unexpected pairing. Others described the moment as a 'fever dream,' while tweets detailed their enthusiasm over the pair holding hands and sharing playful banter. Nic reflected on their missed opportunity earlier in the season, and Olandria admitted she had wondered about his repeated interest despite his involvement with other islanders. New episodes of Love Island USA air daily, except Wednesdays, at 9 pm PT on Peacock.
