As reported by the publication, Ne-Yo, real name Shaffer Chimere Smith, and Crystal welcomed their first child together, son Shaffer Chimere Smith Jr., back in May 2016, just one month after they got married in Los Angeles. The duo are also parents to son Mason Evan and daughter Madilyn Grace from Ne-Yo’s previous relationship.

“Actually I haven’t really been sick at all but the cravings are real!” Smith said about morning sickness. “All I want are raw oysters and steak! Which since becoming vegan has totally messed up my diet but as long as our miracle gets the nutrition it needs I will eat all the meat in the world!”

Monyetta Shaw, the mother of Ne-Yo’s two oldest children also shared her excitement for the couple on Instagram. “So glad that I don’t have to hold this secret from my M’s anymore,” she said. “They’re excited about their new sibling!!!”
