In a recent interview, Monyetta Shaw revealed Ne-Yo’s insatiable desire for threesomes ultimately ended their relationship.
The Grammy Award-winning R&B star’s ex-fiancée gave the scoop on “Haus of Aaron” when she recalled that Ne-Yo “wasn’t ready” during their past relationship.
Ne-Yo, Monyetta Shaw & Threesomes
When asked if he was cheating, Monyetta explained, “We cheated together, if that makes sense.”
Monyetta Shaw, who is currently a cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” went on to share:
And then it just wasn’t enough. And I was like, ‘No, I didn’t sign up to do this every day.’
We did things together. It’s not cheating if you’re involved with it…(she held up three fingers).
Monyetta took a moment to protect her reputation saying:
Hey y’all…she classy but she got another side when she want it.
Honestly, I’m just very multifaceted and that’s where I was at that time.
Unfortunately, what was supposed to be an excursion became an insatiable desire for Ne-Yo.
But, it became a problem when you want that a lot like maybe I’ll give you maybe twice a year.
It was too much. I’m like, ‘Oh, if you want that…you don’t want me.’
You know, it was making it seem like I’m not enough.
Watch the interview below.
Ne-Yo & Monyetta Shaw’s Relationship
Monyetta met Ne-Yo in Louisiana at a Jamie Foxx concert in 2009.
After he asked her out several times, she finally said, “Yes,” and admitted that she fell for him fast.
The couple became pregnant with their first child, Madilyn Grace Smith, in 2010.
That November, while in the Dominican Republic for rapper Fabolous’ birthday, Ne-Yo proposed to Monyetta Shaw with a 10-carat diamond ring.
In 2011, Monyetta became pregnant with the couple’s second child, Mason Evan Smith.
This time, Ne-Yo was absent most of the time “working” in Los Angeles.
When Monyetta suggested she and the kids come out to L.A., Ne-Yo insisted he wanted his family at home in Atlanta.
During her pregnancy, Monyetta said she and Ne-Yo talked thoroughly about her undergoing sterilization after Mason’s birth and that’s just what she did.
She also assumed Ne-Yo had gone through with his plan of getting a vasectomy.
Ne-Yo Called Off The Engagement
In June 2013, just two months before their August wedding, Ne-Yo called and crushed Monyetta Shaw’s world with seven words, “I don’t want to be monogamous anymore.”
A week after their split, Ne-Yo went straight to Instagram to announce the news while Monyetta was completely devastated, caring for their two children, and sterile.
Ne-Yo & Crystal Renay
In 2014, Crystal Renay was the leading lady in Ne-Yo’s “Money Can’t Buy” video and it wasn’t long before they went public with their romance.
On August 31, 2015, Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay took to social media to announce they were engaged and expecting their first child together.
Monyetta was crushed by seeing them “parade their love on social media” knowing that even if she found love again…she wouldn’t be able to start a family with him.
When Ne-Yo began to receive backlash, he took to Twitter to let folks know he didn’t force Monyetta to tie her tubes and noted that “the procedure is reversible.”
He even added the hashtag: #SheCanHaveKids
In February 2016, Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay became husband and wife.
They would go on to welcome their second child, a son, in 2018, and their third child, a daughter, in 2021.
But, lo and behold in July 2022, Crystal Renay publicly blasted her love song-singing husband for cheating on her with prostitutes.
To add insult to injury, Ne-Yo welcomed a child with another woman during his marriage.
Crystal Renay filed for divorce from Ne-Yo shortly thereafter and ultimately settled the divorce with over $1.6 million to boot.
Ne-Yo & Sade Bagnerise
Sade Bagnerise is the woman who gave birth to Ne-Yo’s son, Braiden, in 2021 during his marriage to Crystal Renay.
And it wasn’t long before the two of them began galavanting through the streets of Quinta Brunson’s internet after Ne-Yo’s split from Crystal Renay.
Ne-Yo and Sade welcomed another son, Brixton, in February 2022.
But, Ne-Yo’s flaming hot Cheetos relationship with Sade was a flash in the pan and now he’s asking a court to establish paternity, child support, and custody arrangements.
Sade did take to social media and profusely apologized to Crystal Renay for her side-chick shenanigans.
Monyetta Shaw Becomes Mrs. Heath Carter
Monyetta Shaw found her happily ever after with Heath Carter.
The lovebirds began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2020.
They tied the knot in November 2021 at the Biltmore in Atlanta and it was a beautiful and star-studded event.
With Heath’s daughter from a previous relationship Monyetta Shaw-Carter and her family are now a party of five.
The Final Word
Monyetta Shaw-Carter took to social media with a quick word regarding all of the chatter her interview has generated.
It’s her addressing the public in the grocery store for me! LOL
Ne-Yo is now a father of seven (at the time of this post) and Monyetta Shaw has not given birth since her procedure in 2011.
