NE-YO and Crystal Renay Are Married!

Congrats to NE-YO and Crystal Renay! The singer and his fiancée got married Saturday near Los Angeles at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, according to PEOPLE. The 36-year-old producer and singer tells the outlet

We can’t wait to start our life together. We’re looking forward to just being each others’ best friend. I kind of knew right away. From that first encounter, I knew there was something different about her, something special.

NeYo, Crystal Renay

NE-YO adds,

This is big for me. I’m not doing this again, so I’m happy that my family and friends are able to be there to share this moment with us. We’re human being, so we’re gonna bump heads on different things, but we’ve agreed that this is gonna be a marriage that lasts.

The happy couple are expecting their first child together, with Crystal (who is starring BET’s new reality show, About the Business) nine months pregnant. NE-YO has a daughter Madilyn Grace, 5, and son Mason Evan, 4, from a previous relationship with Monyetta Shaw. Madilyn and Mason were unable to attend. Monyetta explained their absence on Instagram, responding to a fan’s criticism.
