Nelly and Ashanti are one of the most notable celebrity power couples in the worlds of hip-hop and R&B, a reputation they’re putting on the small screen once again.
According to Deadline, Peacock has just renewed their We Belong Together reality television show for a second season. Production will reportedly begin this month and aim for a premiere date later this year. For those unaware, the show focuses on the couple’s careers, personal lives, their toddler KK, business ventures, and spotlit moments. Pantheon Media Group and Velvet Hammer Media will produce, with a slew of executive producers including the couple themselves, Tina Douglas, J Erving, Rebecca Quinn, Jennifer O’Connell, Nick Alarcon, Steve Michaels, Simon Thomas, Ariel Brozell, Oji Singletary, and Asabi Lee.
Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together premiered in June of last year. It reportedly became Peacock’s second-highest-reaching unscripted original first-year show, garnering a lot of praise for the eight-episode docu-series. We will see if Season 2 is even better than the first. With recent life updates for both stars, we’re sure it will be a similarly engaging and compelling peek behind the curtain.
The couple have dated for years, but it was only relatively recently that they really took things to the next level. They began to go out in 2003, but the romance faded by 2013. However, ten years later, they got back together and tied the knot in 2023. They welcomed their son Kareem Kenkaide “KK” Haynes in July of 2024. We Belong Together‘s 2nd season will only add to that iconic status, as the two are navigating taking care of a toddler.
