Ne-Yo announces he is engaged and they are having a baby
Ne-Yo and his girlfriend Crystal Renay took to social media to share some very exciting news with fans. However, some people were confused as to what exactly the singer was celebrating.
Apparently many fans may have got their congratulations mixed up as Ne-Yo took to twitter to explain that while he and Crystal are expecting a baby next year, they are definitely not married.
The duo began dating in 2014 and this will be their first child together.
In February the pair sparked rumours of an engagement when they were spotted out and about with matching tattoos. Crystal’s reads SCS, which are the initials of Ne-Yos’ real name, Shaffer Chimere Smith.

The 35-year old singer is father to two children, 4-year old Madilyn and 3-year old Mason, with his ex-fiancée Monyetta Shaw. Monyette, who is currently a cast member on the VH1 reality series Atlanta Exes, has been very open about her relationship with Ne-Yo.
After being engaged for two years, the pair split in 2013. She spoke about having her tubes tied as she didn’t want to have more children while they were together. After their break up Ne-Yo apparently took to Instagram to defend the mutual decision.
He wrote in a post: "I've made my apologies to the people I feel I wronged. I was forgiven by those people. Anybody else passing judgment on me for my past mistakes and immaturities is more than welcome to it."
