Tracing Ne-Yo's relationship history

Shaffer Chimere Smith aka Ne-Yo gained recognition after writing Mario’s single Let Me Love You and released his debut album, In My Own Words, in 2016. He has had his fair share of ups and downs in the relationship department.

His relationship with Jesseca White went downhill once he discovered that he was not the father of her child, who was born in 2005.

In 2010, he mentioned in an interview that his girlfriend Monyetta Shaw and he were expecting their first child together. They welcomed a daughter, Madilyn Grace Smith, in November 2010. Shaw then gave birth to a boy, Mason Evan Smith, in October 2011. He announced their break up in 2012 via an Instagram post, claiming that it was a mutual agreement. However, Shaw disagreed and said that she was blindsided by his decision.

He announced his engagement to Crystal Renay in September 2015 and said that they were expecting a child. They got married in February 2016 and their son, Shaffer Chimere Jr., was born in March 2016. Renay gave birth to their son, Roman Alexander-Raj Smith, in June 2018.

Ne-Yo announced his separation from Renay in February 2020, but later withdrew the divorce case. They admitted that the pandemic had helped in their reconciliation.

He announced on Instagram in February 2021 that Crystal and he were expecting their third child. They welcomed a daughter, Isabella Rose Smith, in June 2021.
