Ne-Yo’s Wife Files For Divorce, Heaps Fresh Allegations
Crystal Renay, estranged wife of American singer and songwriter, Ne-Yo, has filed for a divorce from the singer, citing irreconcilable differences.
Though the couple has three kids together, Crystal claimed that the singer recently fathered a child with another woman.
She added that since the split, she had been the only one taking care of their three children.
In the divorce suit, Crystal noted that the marriage was “irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation.”
As part of her divorce requirements, Crystal was seeking physical custody of the children and joint legal custody.
TMZ reports that the singer has also been asked to provide child support.
Crystal, in a statement on her Instagram page on Sunday, had stated that for eight years of her knowing Ne-Yo, she had shared her husband with numerous women “who sell their bodies to him unprotected.”
The singer’s wife signed the statement with her maiden name – Crystal Renay – which indicated that she had dropped her husband’s surname.
Born Shaffer Smith, the singer had renewed his marital vows to Crystal in April 2022.
This is the second time Crystal would file a divorce in her marriage. She earlier filed one in 2020 and withdrew it.
