Celebrity exes who got back together

Breaking up can seem like the worst thing in the world when you're in a relationship, but sometimes calling it quits can be the wake-up call people need to realize that they've just lost the one person they actually want to be with for the rest of their lives. Or, you know, the next few months, until they break up again. One of the biggest power couples of the early 2000s recently made their comeback, and now they're starting a family! Nelly and Ashanti were together from 2003 to 2013, through the heights of their music careers. The pair hadn't been seen in public together since 2012, but more than a decade later, rumors of a rekindled romance began to spread. The 'What's Luv?' singer and 'Hot in Here' rapper were spotted hanging out several times in 2023 before confirming their romantic reunion in September. On April 17, 2024, the pair revealed that they're taking the next step with their relationship in more ways than one. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” Ashanti told Essence magazine, “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.” The revelation that she is both pregnant with and engaged to Nelly has sent longtime fans into a tailspin. Check out this gallery of other celebrity couples who broke up only to get back together.
