Ne-Yo to pay ex-wife Crystal Renay nearly $2 million after finalizing divorce

Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay have finalized their divorce in just five months, court documents obtained by Page Six confirm.

The “Because of You” crooner will pay his now-ex-wife a $1.6 million lump sum to balance out their real estate holdings and $20,000 for moving expenses, according to TMZ, which obtained the settlement details. Renay will also keep one of their four homes in Georgia.

Additionally, Ne-Yo agreed to cut a $150,000 check to Renay so she can buy a new car, as he is keeping their 2022 Bentley Bentayga, the outlet reported. The “So Sick” singer, 43, will also pay Renay, 36, $12,000 a month in child support for the three children they share, and he will foot any education-related expenses, too. They agreed to joint custody of the kids. Finally, Ne-Yo will give Renay $5,000 per month in alimony for the next three years

“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane,” she said at the time. “The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. Within the divorce filing, however, Renay alleged that Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, had fathered a child with another woman, whom she described as his “paramour.
