Meet "Closer" Singer Ne-Yo's Beautiful Ex-Wife Crystal

Ne-Yo's ex-wife, Crystal Renay Smith, definitely made him stronger! While the couple has had their ups and downs this past year, it seems the singer has truly found his one in a million lady, and they couldn't be more perfect for each other! Here is everything you need to know about singer Ne-Yo's wife!

Ne-Yo and his wife, Crystal Renay Smith, are back together after almost calling it quits earlier this year. The now 41-year-old "Closer" singer first met his wife back in 2015 after having risen to worldwide fame.

Born October 18, 1979, as Shaffer Chimere Smith, Ne-Yo grew up in a musically inclined household with both of his parents working as musicians. The singer would start going by his stage name of Ne-Yo in the early 2000s when his then producer described the singer as seeing music like "Neo" sees things in The Matrix.

Ne-Yo's Wife

Ne-Yo wouldn't meet his wife until well into his career. By the mid-2000s, Ne-Yo was a billboard name having achieved his breakthrough after penning American singer Mario's hit single "Let Me Love You". Ne-Yo's own hit songs include:

"So Sick", which made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100
"Sexy Love"
"Closer", nominated for a Grammy Award
"Miss Independent", also nominated for a Grammy
"Beautiful Monster"
"Give Me Everything" (feat. Pitbull and Nayer), which also made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100
"Tonight" with Jessica Sanchez

Before meeting his wife, Crystal, Ne-Yo was in two high profile relationships with Jessica White and Monyetta Shaw. Ne-Yo and White made the headlines after discovering that the child White gave birth to was not his. However, Ne-Yo does share two children with his ex-girlfriend Monyetta: daughter Madilyn and son Mason.

Ne-Yo met the woman of his dreams, reality TV star Crystal Renay in 2015 at a business meeting, and the pair would marry the following year! The couple now has two sons together, Shaffer Jr. (4) and Roman (2).
