Ne-Yo Opens Up About Polyamorous Relationship with four Women
Polyamory, defined as ethically having multiple romantic relationships, is at the center of a candid discussion sparked by singer Ne-Yo, who has revealed he is dating four women. The 45-year-old “closer” artist shared details about his unconventional relationship dynamic, describing his partners by affectionate nicknames: Cristina (“Pretty Baby”), Arielle Hill (“Twin Flame”), Moneii (“Phoenix Feather”), and Brionna Williams (“Sexy Lil’ Somethin'”). this arrangement comes after his 2022 divorce from Crystal Renay, with whom he shares three of his seven children.
Ne-Yo detailed the practicalities of navigating multiple relationships during a livestream with Kai Cenat, highlighting the need for ample accommodations. “That’s like two California Kings next to each other. You gotta get that mattress made,” he quipped, referencing his Alaskan king-sized bed. Despite not being “legally married,” Ne-Yo considers these women his “wives,” asserting that their “love life is phenomenal.”
The artist revealed the identities of his partners earlier this year, sparking widespread public interest in his lifestyle.
