Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay welcome baby boy

R&B singer Ne-Yo and his model wife Crystal Renay have welcomed their first child together.

The Closer star's representative has confirmed to E! News that the newlyweds are now parents to a baby boy, but did not give further details.

Crystal shared a picture on phone app Snapchat showing an adult hand clutching a baby's tiny hand as it laid in a cot, with the caption, "Prince SJ has arrived" followed by a crown emoji.


On Tuesday (15Mar16), Crystal, who was overdue, posted a video to Instagram from her hospital bed telling fans she was admitted because "I think there's something." In the caption, she writes, "On Snap bored as heck waiting on SJ to make his entrance."

Ne-Yo, who is father to two children from a previous relationship, married Crystal in front of family and friends in an oceanfront ceremony in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles in February (16) when the model was nine months pregnant.

"We can't wait to start our life together," they told People.com after their vows. "We're looking forward to just being each others' best friend."
