<p><strong>Ne-Yo </strong>took to Instagram on Tuesday to express his gratitude for his little ones and their caretakers, including the son he allegedly fathered with another woman while <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/new-year-new-status-celebrities-who-left-their-relationships-and-marriages-in-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">still married</a> to <strong>Crystal Renay Smith</strong>.</p>
<p>This seemingly marks the first time Ne-Yo publicly acknowledged the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/crystal-smith-alleges-ne-yo-fathered-a-child-with-another-woman-in-recent-divorce-filing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child Smith exposed</a> last year.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am BLESSED,&#8221; Ne-Yo wrote after sharing multiple photos of his children. He added, &#8220;Thank you GOD for my beautiful children and the people that help me raise them. I love you all.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The singer shares three children with Crystal, including <strong>Isabella Rose</strong>, born in June 2021; <strong>Shaffer Chimere Jr.</strong>, born in March 2016; and <strong>Alexander-Raj,</strong> born in June 2018. On Jan. 10, Ne-Yo shared five photos from Crystal&#8217;s recent photoshoot with their two sons and toddler daughter to his Insta-Story.</p>

<p>Then, he followed up with four photos depicting his first two children with ex-fiancée <strong>Monyetta Shaw</strong>. The former couple shares a daughter <strong>Madison Grace</strong>, born in November 2010, and a son <strong>Mason Evan</strong>, born in October 2011.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Ne-Yo Posts Son With Influencer Sade On Social Media For The First Time </strong></h3>
<p>The photos of Isabella, Shaffer, and Alexander included Crystal. While two of Madison and Mason&#8217;s photos included Monyetta and <a href="https://www.essence.com/celebrity/monyetta-shaw-weds-husband/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her husband</a>, Heath Carter.</p>
<p>However, the two images he shared of his youngest son, whose name remains unknown, did not include the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsbigsade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child&#8217;s mother Sade</a>, a social media influencer.</p>
<p>Instead, the first photo Ne-Yo posted was a selfie, which partially shows his face and fully shows his son&#8217;s. The second photo shows the toddler smiling in a standing position with a bag of candy in his hand.</p>
<p>After Ne-Yo shared the photos, Sade reposted the selfie to her Insta-Story with a three &#8216;feeling loved&#8217; emojis.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s unclear when the child was born, but Sade and Crystal&#8217;s pregnancies seemingly overlapped. Sade shared a baby bump photo on her Insta-profile on February 20, 2021.</p>

<p>The next day, February 21, 2021, Ne-Yo <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ne-yo-wife-crystal-smith-gives-birth-his-fifth-child-9592921/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced Crystal&#8217;s pregnancy</a> with Isabella Rose on his Instagram, which he hashtagged #5thandFinal, per <em>Billboard. </em>Sade appears to be pregnant again, given her recent baby bump Insta-posts. However, we <em>cannot confirm</em> whether Ne-Yo is or isn&#8217;t the father.</p>

<p>As mentioned, Tuesday was the first time we&#8217;ve seen Ne-Yo kinda-sorta admit he cheated on Crystal. This comes months after his estranged wife took to social media <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/crystal-smith-takes-to-instagram-with-lengthy-post-detailing-allegations-of-infidelity-from-ne-yo-i-will-no-longer-lie-to-the-public/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with accusations</a> that Ne-Yo is a <em>&#8220;narcissist&#8221; </em>who had unprotected sex with numerous women throughout their eight-year relationship and six-year marriage.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Crystal Smith And Ne-Yo&#8217;s Ongoing Divorce Proceedings</strong></h3>
<p>Days after blasting the singer, Crystal filed for divorce on August 1 after <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/crystal-smith-and-ne-yo-seemingly-throw-shots-at-each-other-on-social-media-following-cheating-accusations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">separating from Ne-Yo</a> on July 22, 2022. Per court documents, Crystal believes the <em>&#8220;marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation&#8221; </em>due to Ne-Yo&#8217;s alleged adultery. In the paperwork, she also revealed Ne-Yo fathered a child with another woman&#8211;believed to be Sade.</p>
<p>In September, the singer <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/ne-yo-slams-estranged-wife-crystals-alimony-inquiry-suggests-she-get-a-job-demands-georgia-mansion-in-divorce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slammed Crystal&#8217;s requests</a> for alimony, equal division of assets, primary custody of their kids, and $25,000 for legal fees. Instead, he&#8217;s seeking joint legal and physical custody. Additionally, Ne-Yo agreed to pay child support but not spousal support. He&#8217;s also looking for her to pay her own legal fees. Ne-Yo is also looking to boot Crystal from their marital home in Georgia, asking for exclusive use and her alleged &#8216;lack of contribution&#8217; to be considered in the asset division.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;[Crystal] possess the considerate ability to procure stable and consistent employment at this current time and following the dissolution of the marriage,&#8221; court docs say.</p></blockquote>
<p>The singer previously <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/neyo-divorce-ex-wife-crystal-smith-shut-down-contempt-instagram-post-accusations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a motion</a> to get Crystal&#8217;s Instagram blasts removed and prevent her from publicly speaking about him, per <em>Radar Online</em>. He claimed Renay spoke out to<em> &#8220;garner public sympathy&#8221; </em>while alleging he lost $400,000 in wages because of her accusations.</p>
<p>In October, a judge brushed off the existing social posts. However, he warned both parties they could face sanctions for public or derogatory statements on any platform, including social media.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear if their divorce is finalized, but on December 31, Crystal revealed she entered 2023 <strong><em>&#8220;resilient, single, and satisfied with nothing but forgiveness and love&#8221;</em></strong> in her heart.</p>
