One of our favorite spin-the-block couples, Ashanti and Nelly, was spotted looking fabulous and in love on Sunday, March 24, in Washington, D.C. The two—who are rumored to be expecting a baby soon together—were in town to celebrate the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor presentation at The Kennedy Center. Their friend, Kevin Hart, received the honor.

Ashanti And Nelly Gave Us Couples Goals In Stylish Black And White ‘Fits.
Since the couple announced they were back together, all eyes have been on Ashanti, 43, and Nelly, 49. The pair appeals to our love of Black love as they gush over one another, celebrate major milestones together, and hit red carpets, tour stages, and events. Rumors surrounding a possible pregnancy only add to their adorable attention.
So, when the couple arrived on the Kennedy Center red carpet, heads turned, and cameras flashed. Ashanti wore what is becoming her signature look of knee-high leather boots and long, dramatic fur from N.Y. celebrity favorite Daniel’s Leather. Underneath the fur was a gorgeous black dress from Balenciaga. Ashanti complimented her cold-weather couture with a sleek ponytail, bold red lipstick, and chunky diamond jewelry.
Nelly matched Ashanti in a black-and-white look. He paired a white button-down with a black velvet vest and sequin pattern pants. The “Country Grammer” rapper topped off his ensemble with oversized clear lenses with silver rims.
