1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: You're on Airthryan Seacrest, and the formula for a number 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: one hit back in the two thousand seem to be 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: to pair a big wrapper with a female pop star 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: providing the hook, But with Nellie and Ashanti, it also 5 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: turned out to be the recipe for much more of 6 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: a successful marriage. The fellow superstars tied thenot in twenty 7 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 1: twenty three and share a child together, Kareem, who was 8 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: born just last July. But this isn't the first time 9 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: Nellie and Ashanti have been together. They dated on and 10 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: off for nearly a decade, beginning in twenty thirteen before 11 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: going their separate ways. So what made it click for 12 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: them the second time around? For Nelly, it came down 13 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: to destinying the mutual understanding that the bond they have 14 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: as special. 15 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: I think, like a lot of stuff, you know when 16 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: you separate, if it's something that truly is meant to be, 17 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: it'll be. And if it's something that you find out 18 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: that it actually brings you more joy than you know not. 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: And I base that on any relationship with anybody that 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 2: I have in my life, does this person bring more 21 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: good than it brings bad? So it doesn't matter who 22 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: it is, and if they don't, then I politely remove myself. 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: And if it does, then you understand and you continue 24 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: on with the bonding. But I think with this it 25 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: was it was. I guess it was meant to be, man, 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: and you know we both enjoyed it. Yeah, like we're married. Nah, 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: so do man. 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: You gotta love that Nellie and a Shanty ended up together, 29 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: and they might end up on a track, a new 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: track as well.
