Ne-Yo refuses to address marriage split as his wife accuses him of cheating for 8 years

Singer Ne-Yo has said 'personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums', following wife Crystal Renay accusing him of cheating on her in a lengthy statement shared to Instagram on Sunday

Ne-Yo' s wife Crystal Renay accused the singer of being unfaithful multiple times throughout their marriage in a scathing social media post over the weekend.

The model, 36, told her Instagram followers she would "no longer lie to the public" on Sunday, as she claimed the Closer singer, 42, had cheated on her with "women who sell their bodies to him unprotected".

Ne-Yo refused to address the allegations in a statement shared shortly after his wife's post, claiming he "will work through our challenges behind closed doors".

Crystal's public Instagram post comes just over a year on from the couple welcoming a third child together into the world in June 2021.

The model and the Miss Independent singer tied the knot in 2016 but announced their split in February 2020 - only to reconcile later the same year and go on to renew their wedding vows with a Las Vegas ceremony earlier this year.

"8 years. 8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them!" Crystal wrote to her 653,000 Instagram followers on Sunday.

"To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist."

She continued: "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."

"I ask that you all please stop sending me videos and information of him cheating because what he does is no longer my concern. I am not a victim."

Crystal concluded her statement, which was captioned "God bless", writing: "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 mum-of-three went on to share a series of supportive posts from friends to her Instagram Stories, and later posted a clip of herself posing and miming along to music while driving to her main grid.

In response, Ne-Yo took to his Twitter account to share a brief statement seemingly addressing his wife's post but refusing to go into further details.

"For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors," the singer wrote to his 6.4million followers on Sunday night.

"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."

Ne-Yo and Crystal share sons Shaffer Chimere Smith Jr., 6, and Roman Alexander-Raj Smith, 4, and daughter Isabella Rose Smith, 13 months, together. The singer is also father to two more children from previous relationships.

Speaking about their previous plans to divorce in 2020, Ne-Yo told CBS chat show The Talk: "Before the quarantine happened, we were definitely talking divorce, and the quarantine forced us to sit still, block out the noise from the world - you know the world can get very, very loud, and we tend to let the world's opinion mean more in certain situations than it should."

The Mirror has approached representatives for Ne-Yo for further comment.
