Ne-Yo and wife Crystal Renay announce birth of third baby and reveal beautiful name
Congratulations are in order for Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Renay – the couple have welcomed their third baby together.
The singer, 41, and happy mother Crystal shared an adorable footprint of the newborn’s footprint on her Instagram Stories, revealing they’ve called their daughter Isabella Rose Smith.
The birth was a surprise for the couple as their new daughter arrived four weeks early.
Crystal wrote on Instagram: ‘ISABELLA ROSE SMITH! God said don’t make plans honey!
‘She came 4 weeks early but right on time for mommy! ‘Born at 11:11 am (lucky lil lady) 5 lbs 7 oz of perfection.
‘My world is finally complete.’
Crystal’s words captioned a photo of Ne-Yo looking delighted as he sat alongside his wife in hospital.
Ne-Yo shared an sweet video with his wife in February this year to announce they were expecting another baby, with the singer saying he was ‘overjoyed’ at the news.
The newborn is Ne-Yo’s third child with Crystal – who he briefly split from last year – and his fifth child.
In a clip posted on his Instagram page the couple could be seen standing close together in a candlelit bathroom while Crystal filmed them on her phone in the mirror.
The Masked Singer star could be seen gently rubbing his wife’s baby bump with an arm over her bare chest.
The Miss Independent singer wrote in the caption that he would be stopping at five kids.
He said: ‘Overjoyed to announce…the family is expanding…👶🏽!’
This was followed by the hashtags ‘#Number5❤️ #5thandFinal #BlessingsOnBlessings’
Crystal shared the same video on her Instagram and added the message: ‘This is why I love you.’
The couple share sons Roman Alexander-Raj, two, and five-year-old Shaffer Chimere Jr.
The star is also dad to Mason Evan, nine, and Madilyn Grace, 10, from a previous relationship.
Ne-Yo and Crystal wed in February 2016 during a stunning ceremony at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.
The singer previously revealed that he and Crystal had decided to split, but they eventually reconciled in June after spending lockdown together.
