LOS ANGELES, Oct 15, (Agencies): Nelly made their relationship "official, official" by going Instagram official on Ashanti's 43rd birthday. The "Country Grammar" rapper shared a heartfelt Instagram post, featuring a video montage of cherished moments with the "Foolish" songstress, all set to the tune of "Birthday Girl" by himself and Chris Lane. The video also included a couple of nostalgic photos, harking back to the couple's decade-long, on-again, off-again love story before they parted ways in 2013.

Earlier this year, Nelly and Ashanti rekindled their romance, and last month, the "Air Force Ones" rapper confirmed that they are once again a couple. On Ashanti's special day, Nelly, at the age of 48, showered her with nothing but praise and admiration. In his caption, he expressed his admiration for her, saying, "One time for the birthday girl... Such a beautiful, incredible person inside and out, and one of the hardest-working women I know. @ashanti Enjoy your day Ma; you look awesome!!!! Happy Birthday. Love ya!!!!"

Ashanti celebrated her birthday in style, starting her festivities at Kassi Beach House inside Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. Surrounded by family and friends, they enjoyed a delectable meal filled with the restaurant's signature coastal Italian dishes. This was a fitting way for Ashanti to begin her birthday celebration, especially after her recent performance alongside Usher in Las Vegas earlier in the week.
