Ne-Yo is married and preparing to welcome another child

R&B singer Ne-Yo has stunned fans by revealing he and his partner Crystal Renay are expecting their first child together.

The So Sick hitmaker took to Instagram.com on Sunday (30Aug15) and posted a photo of the video vixen holding up a photo of the two of them, in which he is happily holding on to her growing baby bump. He added the caption, "Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!"

Renay posted a larger version of the photo on her own Instagram account, writing, "'No matter what they say our Miracle is on the way and I couldn't feel more blessed. You're negativity means nothing to us. We are happy, we've BEEN happy and will always be HAPPY no matter what they say. Thanking The Lord above for those who know my story know what this absolute miracle means to me."

She also posted a photo of Ne-Yo resting his head on her chest, with the caption, "Rest your soul chocolate, I'm watching over your heart now", hinting at rumours the couple has also wed.

Sources confirm to Entertainment Tonight that the two have indeed tied the knot.

Ne-Yo and Renay confirmed their relationship last year (Jul14), almost 12 months after Ne-Yo split from longtime girlfriend Monyetta Shaw, the mother of his four-year-old daughter Madilyn, and son Mason, three.
