They’re giving fans everything—except one tiny face.
Superstar couple Nelly and Ashanti are letting the world into their deeply personal love story in their new Peacock reality series, We Belong Together, which premiered June 26.
From messy breakups to marital bliss, music tours to midnight feedings, the show bares it all—almost.
Despite the raw honesty splashed across all eight episodes, there’s one thing viewers won’t see: the face of their 11-month-old son, Kareem Kenkaide “KK” Haynes.
“Some things are sacred.”
The couple, who quietly tied the knot in 2023 after reigniting their romance, made a firm decision to keep KK’s face off-camera. Ashanti, now navigating first-time motherhood, calls the choice a deeply emotional one.
“It’s very sacred to me,” she explained, adding that her son’s image will remain blurred until they both feel the time is right.
Nelly, who already has five children, supports the decision completely.
“I left that totally up to her… I get it,” he told reporters, balancing his usual charm with fatherly resolve.
What the Show Does Show:
Old wounds, new beginnings: In candid confessionals, Ashanti admits they once “hated” each other post-breakup, while Nelly quips that their renewed love felt like “test-driving a car before buying it.”
Fame vs. family: Viewers witness them juggle red carpet events and recording sessions with diaper changes and domestic life.
A 20-year story arc: From their flirty 2003 Grammys meet-cute to a public split in 2013, and now a surprise 2023 wedding—We Belong Together chronicles their remarkable journey of love, loss, and rekindled flames.
More Than Just Romance
This isn’t your typical celeb reality fluff. The show delves into real vulnerability, emotional healing, and the complications of love in the limelight. Yet, in an age where every moment is content, Nelly and Ashanti’s refusal to expose their son offers a poignant message: not everything belongs to the public.
