Crystal Smith, wife of American singer and songwriter, Ne-Yo, over the weekend announced that she is ending her relationship with the R&B singer.
The mother of three shared a post on Instagram, where she alleged that the singer was unfaithful to her in their marriage and that their years-long relationship is now over.
She wrote, “Eight years; Eight years of lies and deception. Eight years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them!
“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane; the mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t.
“I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect. I gained 3 beautiful children out of this, but nothing else but wasted years and heartache.”
She continued, “I ask that you all please stop sending me videos or information of him cheating because what he does is no longer my concern. I am not a victim.
“I’m choosing to stand tall with my head held high. If someone can’t love you the way you deserve, then it’s up to you to love yourself. With no hate in my heart, I wish him nothing but the best.”
The singer’s wife signed the statement with her maiden name Crystal Renay an indication that she had dropped her husband’s surname.
Ne-Yo, on his part, penned a response in a message writing,
“For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors. Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums, I simply ask that you please respect me and my family’s privacy at this time.”
The now-estranged couple previously renewed their wedding vows in an elaborate ceremony in April this year in a red-themed Las Vegas celebration.
Just so you know, Crystal and Ne-Yo began dating in 2014 and got married in 2016. In 2020, he announced that they were getting a divorce, but they later reconciled and went on to have another baby.
