It looks like Ne-Yo is adding yet another messy chapter to his storied love life. The singer and songwriter just got divorced. Now, he is having issues with his baby mama. He recently had his ex-girlfriend Sade Bagnerise served with papers asking for a paternity test. He is also asking for court-mandated child support. The pair have two children, both of which allegedly belong to Ne-Yo. The singer is not so sure, however.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Ne-Yo is certain that he is the father of his older child, Braiden Bagnerise. However, he has doubts about the paternity of his younger child, Brixton Bagnerise. He requested a DNA test to establish paternity and is also seeking joint custody and a flexible parenting schedule for the children. Ne-Yo wants Braiden to take his last name, but it is unclear if he plans to change Brixton’s last name as well after the results of the paternity test are available.

Ne-Yo’s romantic relationships have been complicated. In February, he finalized his divorce from Crystal Renay, which required him to pay almost $2 million. Renay filed for divorce in August 2022, just four months after they renewed their vows. She accused Ne-Yo of cheating on her multiple times and fathering a child with another woman during their marriage. In the divorce, Renay gets one of their four homes in Georgia and moving expenses up to $20,000. Ne-Yo has agreed to pay $150,000 for a new car for Renay, while keeping their 2022 Bentley Bentayga for himself.
The couple has three children together, so Ne-Yo will also pay $12,000 monthly for child support. Additionally, he will pay the kids’ school expenses and $5,000 monthly for alimony for the next three years. Both Ne-Yo and Renay have joint custody of the children and have agreed not to introduce romantic partners around the kids. If they do, they will need permission from the other party unless they’re engaged or married. What do you think of Ne-Yo’s love life? Let us know in the comments!
