Following their split, Ne-Yo married Crystal Renay. The former couple share three children: Shaffer Chimere Jr., born in 2016; Roman Alexander-Raj, born in 2018; and Isabella Rose, born in 2021.
Ne-Yo’s youngest children, Braiden and Brixton, were born in 2021 and 2023, respectively, with Sade Jenea Bagnerise.
The singer has previously spoken openly about fatherhood, writing, “I’m a father before I’m anything else. Not money, not fame, not even the love of the craft. I do this for them. They are my reason, I’m nowhere near perfect, and that’s OK. My kids love me. And I’d die, kill, steal, whatever to make sure they never need for anything. The best thing I’ve ever done. I love my tribe! I love my squad! And I will for all of this life and the next… and the next!”
