8 Celebrity Couples Who Tried To Keep Their Relationships Secret

After being linked romantically since 2003, Ashanti and Nelly decided to deny any involvement with each other. “I’ve never said I was in a relationship, she’s never said she’s in a relationship, so I don’t know where they do that at. But the thing is, we’ve always admitted we’re friends. We hang out,” he said. Ahsanti replied with a statement of her own. “Me and Nelly are good friends. I never said I was his girl, I never quote, unquote, ‘claimed him,’ I never said we were an item and neither has he, so there you have it. We’re good friends.” OMG could it be any more obvious that they are dating? No. [Necole Bitchie]
