The ‘So Sick’ hitmaker and his wife Crystal Smith have welcomed their third child together, after Crystal gave birth to a daughter named Isabella Rose Smith on Friday (25.06.21), four weeks earlier than expected.
Crystal confirmed on Instagram: “ISABELLA ROSE SMITH!
“God said don’t make plans honey! She came 4 weeks early but right on time for mommy! Born at 11:11 am ( lucky lil lady) 5 lbs 7 oz of perfection. My world is finally complete (sic)”
On her Instagram Story, Crystal also shared a photo of her daughter's tiny footprint, plus a written message that said: "Princess Isabella Rose Smith! You are worth all the pain!”
As of the time of writing, Ne-Yo is yet to comment publicly on his new arrival, but previously announced his wife’s pregnancy on social media back in February.
He wrote at the time: "Overjoyed to announce ...
“The family is expanding ... #Number5 ... #5thandFinal ... #BlessingsOnBlessings ... @itscrystalsmith ... You ready baby? Let’s go! (sic)"
Ne-Yo and Crystal already have two sons – Shaffer Chimere Jr., five, and Roman Alexander-Raj, three – together.
The 41-year-old music star – whose real name is Shaffer Smith – is also father to 10-year-old daughter Madilyn Grace and nine-year-old son Mason Evan from a previous relationship.
Meanwhile, Ne-Yo recently credited the coronavirus pandemic with saving his marriage, after he and Crystal initially split in February 2020.
He said: "The whole quarantine thing was kind of a blessing. It allowed me the time to lock back in with [my family]. Before the quarantine happened, we were definitely talking divorce, and the quarantine forced us to sit still, block out the noise from the world - you know the world can get very, very loud, and we tend to let the world's opinion mean more in certain situations than it should."
