Ne-Yo & Wife Crystal Renay Split After 4 Years of Marriage & He's Revealing the Reason Why

Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Renay are divorcing.

“It’s slowly but surely becoming public knowledge that myself and my wife have decided to go ahead and get a divorce,” the 40-year-old entertainer said on an episode of the Private Talk With Alexis Texas podcast. “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 a fantastic woman. She’s the mother of my children and she’s always gonna be that and I will always respect her.”

“Long story short, she’s got demons just like everybody else, just like me,” he continued. “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. 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.”

The couple married in 2016. They have two kids: Shaffer Chimere Smith, Jr., born in March of 2016 and Roman Alexander-Raj Smith, born in 2018.

Cardi B Gets Support from Offset at ASCAP Rhythm & Soul's Songwriter of the Year Honor!

Cardi B happily strikes a pose alongside her hubby Offset on the red carpet at the 2019 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards held at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Wednesday (June 20) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 26-year-old Grammy-winning rapper was honored as the first female rapper to be named Songwriter of the Year at the ceremony, as well as for her songwriting on such most-performed ASCAP songs as “Bartier Cardi” featuring 21 Savage, “Ring” and “I Like It.”

“I just want to say I’m very grateful,’ Cardi B began after accepting the award (via Billboard). “Sometimes I feel like I’m not doing too much because when it comes to female rappers, it’s like you’re never doing too much or they’re always pitting you against another female rapper. People on my team are like ‘Cardi, you’re crazy. You won a Grammy. Cardi, all your songs are charting.’”

“[With] everybody saying I’m not this or that,” Cardi continued, “sometimes I gotta see it and feel it for myself because it’s hard. Everybody always wants to say I made it because of this or made it because of that. I made it because I worked my ass off… Thank you very much, ASCAP. This is an honor for me.”

Also in attendance at the ceremony was Quavo of Migos, Kehlani, Ne-Yo, T.I., Kevin Gates and Saweetie.

FYI: Cardi is wearing Yousef Al-Jasmi.
