Ne-Yo's Wild Shopping Spree with Four 'Wives': Polyamory on Display
NE-YO UNLEASHES HIS POLYAMOROUS LIFESTYLE: THE R&B SINGER IS SPOTTED SHOPPING WITH ALL FOUR OF HIS GIRLFRIENDS AT KIM KARDASHIAN'S SKIMS STORE
In a shocking display of his unconventional lifestyle, Ne-Yo was spotted out and about with all four of his girlfriends in tow. The 45-year-old singer, known for hits like "So Sick" and "Because of You," has been open about his polyamorous relationships, but this latest outing takes the cake.
Ne-Yo's inner circle consists of five women: Bella, a curvaceous OnlyFans bombshell who calls herself "Daddy's Pretty Baby"; Phoenix Feather, a fiery model; Arielle Hill, a wild-card party girl; Brionna Williams, a dancer he recently added to his roster; and Crystal Renay, his ex-wife with whom he has three children. Yes, you read that right - Ne-Yo has seven kids with four different women!
The So Sick hitmaker first unveiled his unconventional "pyramid" of lovers on Instagram in March, but it seems he's been embracing his polyamorous lifestyle for a while now. In April 2024, he confessed to juggling multiple romances, and none of the women are his legal wives - but he affectionately calls them all his "wives."
The foursome (with Crystal tagging along) was spotted browsing through Kim Kardashian's SKIMS store in West Hollywood on Thursday. Photos show Ne-Yo standing front and center, flanked by his girlfriends as they shopped for shapewear. At one point, one of the ladies rested her head on his shoulder, looking visibly upset - with Ne-Yo stepping in to comfort her.
This bold outing comes hot on the heels of Ne-Yo's recent comments about polygamy. While he supports the idea of legalizing it, he has no plans to wade into politics himself. "To be honest, I don't need the government to tell me what I can and can't do in my personal life," he told TMZ in April.
When asked whether the topic might shape his future projects, Ne-Yo explained that he needs to feel a strong emotional connection to an issue before creating music about it. "I mean, the songs come out depending on the situation and the circumstance," he said. "I don't force it when it comes to music - it happens organically."
Ne-Yo also clarified that he doesn't recommend his lifestyle to others: "What works for me might not work for you, or vice-versa." But what about his limit? Does he have a cap on how many girlfriends he can handle? According to him, "I don't. I'm happy to have as many as you can afford."
The Give Me Everything singer's polyamorous lifestyle has been making headlines for months now. His ex-wife Crystal Renay filed for divorce in 2023, citing infidelity and a decade-long marriage filled with lies and deception. She claimed that Ne-Yo had been unfaithful to her throughout their eight-year relationship.
In an emotional statement on Instagram at the time, Crystal wrote: "Eight years. Eight years of lies and deception... To say I'm heartbroken and disgusted is a understatement."
But Ne-Yo's not bothered by the backlash - in fact, he seems to be thriving in his unconventional lifestyle. His ex-girlfriends aren't too pleased, though. Sade Bagnerise, the mother of two of Ne-Yo's seven children, publicly slammed him for exposing their kids to his polyamorous relationship.
And Monyetta Shaw, another one of Ne-Yo's exes, claimed that his obsession with threesomes led to their breakup. "We cheated together," she told YouTuber Haus of Aaron. "If you want that, then you don't want me."
As for Crystal Renay, she revealed in an interview last August that she never would have married Ne-Yo if she knew about his polyamorous lifestyle. "I was like, 'If you want that, then you don't want me,'" she said.
So what's the takeaway from all this drama? One thing is for sure - Ne-Yo's polyamorous lifestyle is here to stay... and it seems he's got no regrets about it.
In an interview with The Scholarly Note.com in April 2024, Ne-Yo shared his thoughts on polygamy: "It's family. It's community. And that's what it's all about." When asked if he endorsed the polygamous lifestyle, he said, "I don't recommend anything to anybody - what works for me might not work for you, or vice-versa."
The R&B singer was previously married to Crystal Renay from 2016 until their divorce was finalized in 2023. They share three children: Shaffer Jr., eight; Roman, six; and Isabella Rose, three.
He also has four other children with different women:
- With ex-girlfriend Monyetta Shaw:
- Daughters Madilyn, 13, and Mason, 12
- With ex-wife Crystal Renay:
- Sons Shaffer Jr. and Roman, and daughter Isabella Rose
- With influencer Sade Bagnerise:
- Sons Braiden and Brixton
As for Ne-Yo's music, he's not planning on making any songs about polygamy just yet - at least, that's what he told The Scholarly Note.com. "I need to feel a strong emotional connection to an issue before creating material about it," he said.
So there you have it - the latest update on Ne-Yo's polyamorous lifestyle. Love him or hate him, one thing is for sure: this R&B singer is living his best life... with four girlfriends in tow!
