The former couple began dating in 2014.The model, 37, confirmed their split via Instagram in August 2021 when she responded to an Instagram user asking whether she and the “Ride Wit’ Me” rapper were “still together.” Jackson replied, ”No we’re not.

Just friends.”Nelly previously called the Florida native “The One” while speaking to Entertainment Tonight in October 2020, gushing, “She’s great.

She’s really dope. We have a great time, and we understand each other. We have so much in common. She’s very driven, very passionate about the things she does, and she doesn’t accept anything but wanting to be better.
