[@Therezumee92]

Nelly does have a point about time. It lets you mature and with that also comes introspection and growth. I think many people would have happy relationships with their exes after a decade apart. Not many just have an ego that would let to admit own mistakes and begin fresh. Happy for them Iwas a massive Nelly fan a while back, some good songs he had. Ashanti was my fave in acting actually.

[@MaiMai-ys4yg]

Aww this clip has me tearing up. ❤ wishing them all the best with the baby and marriage to come ! Positive vibes! ❤
