<p><strong>Nelly</strong> and <strong>Ashanti</strong> are going strong! As of last month, the rekindled baes haven&#8217;t been shy about <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/listicle/ashanti-nelly-together-dating-rumors-video-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spinning the romance block</a> with each other.</p>
<p>With Ashanti&#8217;s 43rd birthday in the books on Oct.13, the &#8220;Hot In Herre&#8221; rapper made sure to ice his lady out! And while it may not have been the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/marcus-jordan-reveals-larsa-pippen-promise-ring-not-engaged/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diamond ring</a> fans have called for, Nelly allegedly dropped a hefty BAG on diamonds for the &#8220;Foolish&#8221; singer.</p>

<p>Before we got to see the icey diamond chain and watch Nelly picked out for Ashanti, he took to Instagram with a sweet but brief message for his lady. The upload was a video montage of throwback and recent moments between the pair, from performances to smiling selfies.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;One time for the birthday girl&#8230;.@ashanti enjoy your day Ma you look awesome!!! Happy Birthday Love ya,&#8221; he wrote in the caption.</p></blockquote>
<p>He later <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyW_ffQsij3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">edited the caption</a> to include, <strong><em>&#8220;Such a beautiful, an incredible person inside and out and one of the hardest working women I know.&#8221; </em></strong></p>
<p>In the comment section, Ashanti responded,<em> &#8220;Awwww thank u big head, love ya!!&#8221; </em></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Nelly Gifts Ashanti Iced Out Jewelry For Her Birthday</h3>
<p>We can&#8217;t say for sure if the jewelry is all Nelly copped for the singer&#8217;s 43rd, but we can note that Ashanti was impressed by the glittering diamonds. In one circulating clip, she looks surprised while cupping her face.</p>
<p>After looking around a cheering room, presumably filled with loved ones, Ashanti walked over to her man and initiated an embrace and a kiss. Nelly wrapped his arms around her, returned the kiss, and gave her a love tap on her hip before embracing her a second time.</p>
<p>After putting on the diamond chain and watch, she again embraced her bae — who was all smiles beside her.</p>
<p>As for the bag spent on the jewelry, <a href="https://mediatakeout.com/nelly-blings-ashanti-out-with-some-jewelry-for-her-birthday-100k-chain-100k-watch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MediaTakeout reports</a> that the watch is an Audemars Piquet, and the chain is from Cartier — and estimated each to be worth over $100,000. However, sources for these estimates remain unclear, and The Shade Room could not locate the jeweler seen presenting the gifts in the re-cap clips.</p>
<p>Additional videos shared by an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CycEeeHpNd8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram-based fan page</a> show white, silver, and pink decorations, including balloons and a backdrop, pink cupcakes, and Ashanti enjoying birthday serenades from her loved ones as she danced.</p>
<p>In one clip, Nelly jokingly yelled out &#8220;pound town,&#8221; as Ashanti embraced him!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Nelly &; Ashanti Together? When Did THAT Happen Again?</h3>
<p>Celebrating Ashanti&#8217;s birthday together seemingly marks a milestone in their rekindled romance.</p>
<p>Last month, Nelly confirmed they were dating again in a sit-down with Rasheeda and Kirk Frost. He revealed that spinning the block was not in their plans and that the second chance &#8220;surprised&#8221; them both.</p>

<p>The confirmation came following fan speculation in April after the duo appeared hand-in-hand at a fight between Gervonta &#8220;Tank&#8221; Davis and Ryan Garcia.</p>
<p>Then, Ashanti gave her own confirmation when she popped out on the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/vmas-ashanti-nelly-purse-nicki-minaj-new-song-saweetie-teleprompter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 VMA pink carpet</a>, rocking a purse with a selfie of her and Nelly on it. She later revealed that the photo marked the first time they exchanged numbers nearly 20 years ago at the 2003 VMA.</p>

<p>No word on whether Nelly plans to offer any other diamonds any time soon, but we&#8217;ll keep you posted!</p>
