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

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

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.
