Ne-Yo Gets Married

Ne-Yo and model fiancée Crystal Renay tied the knot Saturday in front of family and friends in an oceanside ceremony near Los Angeles. “We can’t wait to start our life together,” NE-YO, 36, says. “We’re looking forward to just being each others’ best friend.”
The couple began dating shortly after meeting for a possible collaboration for his 2015 album Non-Fiction, and the Grammy winner knew even then they had a connection, which led to his popping the question last summer. “I kind of knew right away,” he says, adding: “From that first encounter, I knew there was something different about her, something special.”
The happy couple’s big day comes just before they will welcome their first child together (NE-YO is already dad to daughter Madilyn Grace, 5, and son Mason Evan, 4, from a previous relationship).
“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,” says NE-YO. “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.”
