<h3 style="text-align: center;">Sade Bagnerise Responded To Ne-Yo&#8217;s Motion Filing With Her Own</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/ne-yo-singer-ex-girlfriend-sade-demands-primary-custody-2-kids-lawsuit-dna-test-crystal-divorce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RadarOnline</a>, Bagnerise and her lawyer responded to Ne-Yo&#8217;s filing last week. The woman reportedly requested &#8220;primary custody&#8221; of their two sons, Brixton and Braiden, and &#8220;immediate monthly child support.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite Bagnerise&#8217;s initial request, she has reportedly agreed to share &#8220;joint legal custody&#8221; of her and Ne-Yo&#8217;s children.</p>
<p>Furthermore, she also advocated for the singer to spend &#8220;every other weekend visitation&#8221; with the children and alternate their &#8220;holiday parenting time.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for the woman&#8217;s child support request, she&#8217;s reportedly asked the court to award her temporary and permanent child support. Additionally, she is asking the singer to reimburse &#8220;a fair portion of any medical, educational, extracurricular, insurance, or other expenses&#8221; of the children that she needs to satisfy.</p>
<p>Lastly, Bagnerise&#8217;s legal team did make a note regarding Ne-Yo&#8217;s paternity of the two children.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;[Ne-Yo] is the biological father of the parties&#8217; minor children.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Shortly after the singer&#8217;s filing, Bagnerise took to social media to show the results of a DNA test for the youngest child, Brixton. According to her screenshot, the results show that Ne-Yo, whose government name is Shaffer C. Smith, is the child&#8217;s father.</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Why is this a story? We had kids. We’re not together. Imma support my kids. Like any other baby daddy with any kind of care for the well being of his kidsð¤·ð¾♂ï¸ Y’all thirsty. But then again, it’s THE SHADE ROOM. I guess I shouldn’t be shocked at “shade” from THE SHADE ROOM. Meanwhile all my kids are healthy, beautiful and well taken care of. And I ain’t beefing with any of their mothers. There you go. From the horses mouth. Y’all have a nice day.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
