Ne-Yo opens up about living with his four girlfriends in unique relationship

If you're someone who gets peed off by sharing a space with your partner, spare a thought for Ne-Yo, as he's got all four of his girlfriends under one roof.

The Arkansas-born singer, 45, revealed that he had to get creative to ensure that all of the women in his life could fit into one bedroom. He first shared the details of his unique relationship with the world in March this year after fans raised questions about the number of women he had on his arm.

"Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly," Ne-Yo wrote in an Instagram post. "LADIES AND GENTS, I PRESENT MY PYRAMID. Say something nice or move on with your life. We happy over here."

This 'pyramid' consists of Cristina, Arielle Hill, Moneii, and Bri Williams - each of whom he has awarded the respective nicknames 'Pretty Baby', 'Twin Flame', Phoenix Feather' and 'Sexy Lil’ Somethin'.

Ne-Yo - whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith - went public with his polyamorous lifestyle following his divorce from the mother of three of his seven children, Crystal Renay, back in 2023.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that Ne-Yo would probably have some difficulty fitting all the women into his life into a standard double bed, so he had a special mattress made to accommodate them all.

During a recent appearance on a livestream with YouTuber Kai Cenat, the 'Miss Independent' hitmaker explained that he and his girlfriends sleep in an Alaskan King-sized bed.

According to the Alaskan King Bed Company, these 108' x 108' mattresses can hold four grown adults comfortably, and it is the perfect giant bed for families that co-sleep together. Or, in Ne-Yo's case, it's the perfect place to rest your head alongside four beautiful women.

Describing his sleeping set-up to Cenat, the father-of-seven said: "That’s like two California Kings next to each other. You gotta get that mattress made."

Although he isn't 'legally married' to Cristina, Arielle, Moneii or Bri, Ne-Yo said he views the four as his 'wives'.

"My love life is phenomenal," he boasted. "I’m in a great space. I am currently in a polyamorous relationship. I have four beautiful ladies who move with me on a regular."

Explaining why he decided that monogamy wasn't for him, Ne-Yo told the streamer: "I’m 45 years old. At this point in my life, everything I do is about what’s best for me, what’s best for my kids [and] what’s best for my tribe.

"I was married before this, to one woman. Things didn’t go well. I made my mistakes, we got divorced...and I told myself at that moment, I ain’t lying to nobody about nothing ever again."

He then revealed how he asked his girlfriends to get involved in polyamory. Reciting the conversations he had with the women, Ne-Yo said: "Listen, I rock with you. But it ain’t just you. I also rock with her, and her, and her...If you with it, let’s rock. If you’re not, that’s cool too. No love lost."

The music star previously revealed that he did not 'demand exclusivity' from his partners and said they, in fact ', asked for it'.

"They came to me and said, 'I want to be exclusive to you and just you'," Ne-Yo told The Angie Martinez Show back in April. "I said, 'You understand that your exclusivity to me does not mean my exclusivity to you? You understand this, yes? You're OK with it?'"

Ne-Yo made it clear that he is 'not selling no dreams' or 'forcing anybody to be here' and says that he, Cristina, Arielle, Moneii, and Bri are all very happy with their relationship status.
