Singer, Ne-Yo has confirmed that he and wife, Crystal Smith have decided to part ways after four years of marriage on Saturday.
“It’s slowly but surely becoming public knowledge that myself and my wife have decided to go ahead and get a divorce,” he revealed.
He continued: “It’s not a sad thing, it’s more of a us realizing- long story short, I’m never gonna talk bad about her. I’m not that person. There’s nothing bad to say about her. She’s the mother of my children and she’s always gonna be that and I will always respect her.”
Ne-Yo – full name Shaffer Chimere Smith – still considers Smith to be a ‘fantastic woman.’
‘We realize that our demons don’t mesh and until both of us get a hold of our personal demons, it’s gonna be just difficult for us to stay married,’ said Ne-Yo. No bad blood: ‘It’s not a sad thing, it’s more of a us realizing- long story short, I’m never gonna talk bad about her. With that being said, that’s that, that’s the end of that chapter, not the end of the book. Like I said, that’s the mother of my kids and I love her to death. We’re going to be family forever.”
Ne-Yo married Crystal in February of 2016. They’d give birth to their first son Shaffer, three, a month after their nuptials. In 2018, Ne-Yo and his 34-year-old wife welcomed their second son Roman, who is now just under the age of two. Ne-Yo has two children, daughter Madilyn, nine, and son Mason, eight, from his previous relationship with actress Monyetta Shaw.
