If you’ve been watching Nelly and Ashanti We Belong Together, you already know this series had folks talking from the very beginning.
Now that we've seen all eight episodes, we’re wrapping it up with our final review covering Episodes 7 and 8.
These last two episodes brought love, legacy, and serious controversy to the forefront, and we're diving into all of it.
In Episode 7, “Dilemma,” Ashanti considers international tour offers while navigating new motherhood and that classic Libra indecision. Meanwhile, Nelly opens up about being invited to perform at the Inauguration Ball for President Trump.
Ashanti’s mom pulls up with powerful insight about family history, legacy, and public image as they weigh what this moment really means.
In Episode 8, “The Way I Love You,” we get celebration and reflection. There’s a baseball-themed party for baby KK, a girls night with real talk, and a heartfelt moment with Angie Martinez as Ashanti opens up about Irv Gotti’s passing.
Then comes the ring. Nelly finally receives his custom band and he and Ashanti reflect on their first year of marriage with honesty, humor, and love.
🔥 In this episode of the Legacy Journeys Podcast, we explore:
✔ Why people are calling Nelly a sellout for performing at the Inauguration Ball — and why we see it differently
✔ The role of family, duty, and identity in the choices we make as couples
✔ What Ashanti’s girls night says about sisterhood in marriage and motherhood
✔ How picking your battles helped this couple survive year one
✔ Whether Nelly not wearing a ring was really a big deal or just social media noise
✔ And what this couple’s journey says about second chances, legacy, and building love in the spotlight
As always, we’re coming at this from our own lens — a real couple who found each other in our 40s, building love, blending families, and doing life together with honesty and intention.
If you’re part of the over 40 crowd trying to figure out what love looks like now, this one’s for you.
💬 Let’s talk about it:
Do you think Nelly made the right call?
Did Ashanti handle the moment with grace?
What stood out to you in this season finale?
