Ne-Yo Gives Update On Polyamorous Relationship With Four Women<\/p>\n
You\u2019re probably already familiar with Ne-Yo<\/a>, the hat-wearing R&B singer who gave us mega hits like \u201cMiss Independent\u201d and \u201cCloser\u201d back in the 2000s.<\/p>\n Well, in more recent years, conversations about Ne-Yo have been less about the music and more focused on his personal life \u2014 primarily due to a messy cheating and paternity scandal<\/a> that played out over the course of his split from Crystal Renay between 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n For context, Ne-Yo and Crystal married in 2016 and share three children. In 2022, Crystal publicly accused Ne-Yo of cheating<\/a> on her with numerous women and subsequently filed for divorce. The following year, court documents revealed that the singer fathered two children<\/a> while he and Crystal were still married. Ne-Yo also has two older children from a previous relationship, meaning he has seven children<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since then, the 45-year-old has more openly started embracing polyamory, announcing in March this year that he is currently in a relationship with four women. He introduced his \u201cpyramid\u201d to the world via Instagram<\/a>, revealing that each of his partners has a nickname: Cristina (\u201cPretty Baby\u201d), Arielle (\u201cTwin Flame\u201d), Moneii (\u201cPhoenix Feather\u201d), and Bri (\u201cSexy Lil\u2019 Somethin\u2019\u201d).<\/p>\n In April, he talked about the terms of the polyamorous relationship, revealing that his girlfriends aren\u2019t allowed to date other people<\/a>. And more recently, while appearing in a livestream<\/a> with YouTuber Kai Cenat, he shared some extra insight into his unconventional lifestyle.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m 45 years old. At this point in my life, everything I do is about what\u2019s best for me, what\u2019s best for my kids, and what\u2019s best for my tribe,\u201d he said, going on to explain how his split from Crystal led him to officially choose polyamory going forward. \u201cI was married before this, to one woman. Things didn\u2019t go well\u2026and I made my mistakes. We got divorced, and a lot of people got hurt in the process. And I told myself in that moment, \u2018I ain\u2019t lying to nobody about nothing ever again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Talking about how he kept things transparent with his various partners, he recalled telling one of his now-girlfriends, \u201cListen, you know I rock with you. I absolutely rock with you. But it ain\u2019t just you. I also rock with her, and her, and her. So what I wanna do is bring this whole thing together.\u201d<\/p>\n Ne-Yo also answered questions about their sleeping situation, saying that he has an Alaskan King-sized bed in his house. \u201cThat\u2019s like two California Kings next to each other,\u201d he explained. \u201cYou gotta get that mattress made.\u201d<\/p>\n
