R&B superstar Ashanti is feeling loved and deeply grateful as she celebrates her 45th birthday in grand style.
The Grammy-winning singer took to Instagram earlier this week to share stunning photos from her tropical birthday getaway — and to pen a heartfelt message to her husband, rapper Nelly.
In a carousel shared with her over 8.7 million followers, Ashanti flaunted her radiant beauty and signature confidence in a series of eye-catching looks. From rocking a bikini by the beach to dazzling in a gold gown before a “Happy Birthday Ashanti” sign, the star embodied the essence of her #FortyFine era.
In the caption, Ashanti expressed her appreciation for Nelly, crediting him for going all out to make her birthday one to remember.
“One of the greatest, most magical birthdays ever! Thank you so much to my amazing husband @nelly for going above and beyond to make everything happen,” she wrote. “Every single little detail, all the effort, all the planning — and trying his best to keep everything a secret even though I was asking mad questions every day! To have my husband, son, family, and friends come out to celebrate was such an incredible blessing. Babe, I love you infinitely. I appreciate you so much.”
Ashanti’s post has since melted hearts across social media, with fans celebrating the couple’s growing love story.
