Ne-Yo's life took a dramatic turn after his messy divorce from Crystal Renay in 2023. The "2 Million Secrets" singer, known for his smooth tunes, found himself in a whirlwind of change. His marriage of seven years ended when Renay discovered he had fathered two children with another woman during their marriage. Following the divorce, Ne-Yo's dating life became the talk of the town. He revealed on "Sherri" that he now dates three women at the same time. This lifestyle shift came after he promised never to lie to a woman again. He wanted to be honest about his past mistakes and his new approach to relationships. Ne-Yo explained that he asked the women he dates if they were open to a polyamorous relationship. He emphasized that everyone gets individual time, but group time is also important. This setup, however, has not been well-received by everyone. Fans on social media had mixed reactions, with some calling it a "mess" and others questioning his privilege.
Ne-Yo has seven children with multiple women. His ex-fiance, Moneyetta Shaw, shares a son and daughter with him. His ex-wife, Crystal Renay, has three children with him. Model Sade Bagnerise has two sons with him. The reactions from these women have been varied. Renay stated she would never have married him if she knew about his polyamorous tendencies. Bagnerise accused him of hosting "freak offs" and bringing paid women around their children. Shaw, however, supported his decision to live in his truth. Despite the drama, Ne-Yo maintains a good relationship with Shaw. They keep their distance from each other's personal lives. Renay and Bagnerise have also been seen hanging out together without their children. Ne-Yo's evolving personal life continues to make headlines, especially as he flaunts his relationships publicly.
