R&B singer
Ne-Yo
and his wife of four years,
Crystal Renay
, have parted ways and are in the process of filing for a divorce. According to an agency, the 40-year-old musician confirmed the news on an episode of the 'Private Talk With
Alexis Texas' podcast.
"It's slowly but surely becoming public knowledge that myself and my wife have decided to go ahead and get a divorce. It's not a sad thing, it's more of us realising - long story short, I'm never gonna talk bad about her. I'm not that person. There's nothing bad to say about her. She's a fantastic woman. She's the mother of my children and she's always gonna be that and I will always respect her," Ne-Yo said on the podcast.
"Long story short, she's got demons just like everybody else, just like me. We realise that our demons don't mesh and until both of us get a hold of our personal demons, it's gonna be just difficult for us to stay married," he added.
Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer
Chimere
Smith, and Renay, a model, first met when he was working on his 2015 album 'Non-Fiction'.
The pair began dating two weeks later and tied the
knot
in February 2016 in an seaside ceremony.
The duo are parents to
Shaffer Chimere Jr
, four, and 20-month-old Roman Alexander-Raj.
