Ne-wife, Yo’s Crystal Smith, has asked for a divorce after discovering that the singer had a child with another woman. A few days before the announcement, Crystal said that her husband was cheating on her.
On August 1, the 36-year-old filed a petition to end the marriage. Smith told Today that she is getting divorced from Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Smith, because he “recently fathered a minor child with his paramour.” Documents also said that their marriage is “irreparably broken” and that there is “no hope of reconciliation.
What Is A Paramour?
A secret lover is called a paramour. The word comes from French. “Par Amour,” which means “through love,” refers to a relationship based on love and physical closeness, not a legal marriage.
Even though the divorce petition was just filed in Fulton County, Georgia, where Smith lives, the couple has been living apart since July 22.

In 2020, the singer of “Because of You” asked for a divorce, but she took the request back during the pandemic because it helped them get back together.
