R&B singer Ne-Yo was a big name in the late 2000s, with hits like Closer and Sexy Love.
While he’s not topping the charts like before, the 45-year-old stays busy managing relationships with three different women at once.
Though he isn’t legally married to them, the singer calls them his wives, and they refer to him as “daddy.” His main partner is Bella, an adult model known as “Daddy’s Pretty Baby” online. Then there’s Phoenix Feather, also an adult model, and Arielle Hill, a party-loving socialite.
Ne-Yo and his partners openly share their lifestyle on social media.
They frequently post pictures from nightclubs, pool parties, and luxury trips. The trio follows Ne-Yo worldwide, from Dubai to Bangkok and Brisbane. However, not everyone supports their relationship, leading Phoenix to defend it online.
“We know people will have opinions,” she wrote on Instagram. “But over here, we understand each other. We stand strong together, and people may never get it, but that’s fine. It’s us vs. nobody.”
Ne-Yo, a divorced father-of-seven, first spoke about his polyamorous lifestyle in an interview last year. When asked about polygamy, he said, “I didn’t even know it was illegal. People should do whatever makes them happy.” He added, “I don’t need the government to tell me what’s right for my personal life.”
However, he made it clear that this lifestyle isn’t for everyone.
“What works for me may not work for you,” he said. In another interview, he stated he has no limit on how many girlfriends he can handle, saying, “As many as you can afford.”
Ne-Yo was previously married to Crystal Renay from 2016 until their divorce in 2023. They share three children, while he has more kids with his ex-girlfriends Sade Bagnerise and Monyetta Shaw.
Crystal filed for divorce in 2022, claiming Ne-Yo had been unfaithful. “Eight years of lies and deception,” she wrote online. “I unknowingly shared my life and husband with many women.”
Monyetta later revealed that Ne-Yo’s interest in group experiences caused their breakup. “I tried to keep it fun, but it wasn’t enough for him,” she said. “He wanted it all the time, and I couldn’t do it.”
