Actress Sharon Stone has confirmed the long-speculated rumor that she once went on a date with rapper Nelly. Speaking on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Stone acknowledged the truth of the brief outing but clarified that it did not develop beyond that initial meeting. This revelation finally settles a curiosity within pop culture circles concerning their connection.
Background on Nelly’s Relationship History
Before starting a family with Ashanti, Nelly was in a relationship with Shantel Jackson for several years. The rapper reunited with Ashanti during a Verzuz battle in 2021, a moment that sparked their renewed romance. The couple later married on December 27, 2023, marking a significant milestone in Nelly’s personal life following earlier relationships.
Celebrating New Beginnings for Nelly and Ashanti
Nelly and Ashanti welcomed their son last summer and recently celebrated his first birthday. The celebration featured a Kunda and Friends theme, attracting notable guests such as LL Cool J, Lloyd, and even the series’ co-creator, who traveled from Uganda to join the festivities. Their growing family and joyful events highlight a new chapter far removed from Nelly’s brief date with Stone.
The Enduring Legacy of a Brief Encounter
Although Sharon Stone and Nelly’s short-lived date remains a curious footnote in their stories, both have since concentrated on building successful careers and personal lives. Stone continues her influence in Hollywood as a respected figure, while Nelly embraces fatherhood and marriage with Ashanti. This confirmation connects two well-known figures, adding an interesting anecdote to each of their public narratives.
