R&B star Ashanti and rapper Nelly have reportedly called off their romance. The hip-hop supercouple managed to keep their four-year romance secret until Nelly confirmed in November they are in fact a couple.

Ashanti even admitted in March that a wedding was "absolutely in the cards" for the pair.

But now the twosome has split amid claims the "Hot in Herre" rapper wasn't ready to settle down with Ashanti, reports the New York Daily News. The publication alleges Nelly has recently been spotted spending time with Canadian beauty Melyssa Ford, a model who has starred in music videos for R. Kelly and Usher.
