How Old is Chanel Haynes?

Chanelle Haynes is 30 years old; the youngster’s current age is calculated from her date of birth which is February 27th, 1994. Many online sources have it that she was born two months premature and should have come in April.

Though her exact place of birth has never been mentioned, Chanelle, who is fondly called Nana, was born in the United States which makes her an American by nationality. However, she is known to be Afro-American by ethnic background.

Right from her formative years, Chanelle has always displayed an interest in dancing and wanted to take it to a professional level. However, her dad suggested that she goes and studies for a degree in business at Columbia College in Chicago.

Chanelle’s Father is the Hip Hop Legend Nelly

Cornell Nelly Haynes Jr., also known by the stage name Nelly, became a first-time father when Chanelle Haynes was born in 1994. His given name at birth is actually Cornell Iral Haynes.

Nelly is a hip-hop rapper and actor who has been active in the industry since the 1970s but started gaining public attention in the 2000s with his debut album entitled’ Country Grammar’. In the United States alone, his breakout record sold over 10 million copies.

With a unique blend of hip-hop, pop, and R&B, Chanelle Haynes’s dad created his own signature sound, taking music to another level. His popular hits include the likes of Hot in Herre, Ride wit Me, Dilemma, and more. He has also appeared in a good number of movies.

In the course of his music career, Nelly swept a total of 63 award nominations out of which he bagged 12. These includes two Grammy and some Teen Choice Awards.

Who is Chanelle Haynes’ Mother?

To date, Nelly has never bothered to mention the identity of his children’s mothers. However, there are reports that he dated them in the past but managed to keep their pregnancies and childbirth hidden from the public.

There are speculations that Chanelle is the product of Nelly’s relationship with his former partner, Channetta Valentine which lasted for almost one decade; the reason for this assumption may well be the similarities in their first names. They started going steady in September 1990 but kept the details under wraps as much as possible. The couple went their separate ways in 1999 but did not disclose the reasons for their split, though speculations were that Nelly’s rising fame put a strain on their relationship.

Since the musician raised his kids as a single parent, it is difficult to know whether their moms are still part of their lives.

She Has One Biological Sibling

Far from being the only child born to Nelly, Chanelle Haynes spent her formative years alongside one brother called Cornell Haynes III who is five years younger, as he was born on the 2nd of March 1999.

Also called Trizzle, Cornell Haynes III was very active in varsity football but sadly, he didn’t take it to a professional level. Nothing has been said about what he is doing for now, but there are speculations that he is working in the music industry with his dad.

Though Trizzle and Chanel are Nelly’s only biological children, the iconic musician trained four. After his half-sister, Jackie Donahue lost the battle with leukemia in 2005, he took in her children, Sidney and Shawn Jr. (Tab), and raised them as his own.

Chanelle Haynes had the privilege of growing up with her cousins and she expresses support for them through her accounts on social media.

Currently, Tab is aspiring to become a musician like his uncle. He has already started making video game streams via his YouTube channel where he equally shares tutorials and music. His sister, Sydney has her sights set on modeling; she has already accomplished her debut shoot which was aired on the Nellyville reality TV show. Sydney became a mother in January 2020 when she had a baby boy.

The Bond between Father and Daughter Is Beautiful

As earlier mentioned, Chanelle Haynes grew up under the watch of her father and from what is obvious, they share an enviable bond. In fact, their kind of relationship has been described as a “wish for celebrity kids whose parents are more engrossed with pursuing their careers than spending time with their children”.

Right from her formative years, Chanelle and Nelly have always been spotted out and about town together. The celebrity singer never got tired of sharing his daughter’s memorable moments on his socials.

On Chanelle’s 27th birthday celebration, the proud papa took to his IG handle to share a tribute to his only daughter. The post featured a throwback image of the father and daughter, who was still a toddler, as they posed on the sofa.

Obviously, Chanelle Haynes reciprocates her father’s love a hundred folds as she has always been his support system in all his endeavors. A good instance was when Nelly participated in the 29th edition of the reality dance TV show called Dancing With The Stars with Daniella Karagach. Throughout the duration of the show, Chanelle went all out to support her dad, dubbing herself, “Nelly’s greatest cheerleader”. Her brother also showed his support but he was a bit reserved about it.

On a certain Father’s Day celebration, Chanelle dedicated a heartwarming post to her dad where she referred to herself as a “daddy’s girl” from birth, saying that her father has done a lot for her.

The father-daughter duo always think of each other as best friends and has remained close to date.

What Does Nelly’s Daughter do for a Living?

Chanelle Haynes is obviously following in the footsteps of her father. She made her debut in TV commercials before recording an appearance in Motown Live’s soundtrack as a performer in 1999.

A chip off the old block, Chanelle is an upcoming music star. She dropped her debut single in July 2020 and she is said to be working on more songs.

The youngster also launched her acting career on the set of the reality TV show, Nellyville as a supporting act to Nelly. Her last acting gig was recorded in the television show entitled, She’s Still Our Sister and she has never revealed her reasons for quitting acting.

Chanelle is also on Instagram, @iamchanelhaynes, where she has accumulated over 13.3k followers with 2656 posts.

Is Chanelle Haynes Dating

Currently, Chanelle Haynes seems to be single but she dated the late Mario. The romantic duo was really excited about the prospect of getting married before tragedy struck.

Mario who was also known as Rio lost his life in a shooting at a park they visited. The gun violence happened in Chanelle’s presence as she was running toward the melee in search of her younger brother. However, she never knew that her boyfriend was in the crowd until she sighted his dead body.

The gory incident gave Chanelle an emotional breakdown that lasted for a long time.
