It looks like Ne-Yo and his wife; Crystal‘s romance may be coming to an end.

Crystal shared a message via Instagram stating that her husband has been cheating for the past 8 years of their marriage. She writes, “8 years. 8 years of lies and deception,” Renay wrote in her post. “8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them!” 

To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a[n] understatement,” her message continued. “To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect. I gained 3 beautiful children out of this but nothing else but wasted years and heartache,” Renay added.

Following Renay’s statement, Ne-Yo shared a message of his own. Although he didn’t address the cheating accusations, he did ask for privacy during this time. “For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors. Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums,” he said. “I simply ask that you please respect me and my family’s privacy at this time.”
