Despite rumors to the contrary, Ne-Yo is NOT married.

But he is engaged. And expecting a baby with fiancée Crystal Renay.

The R&B singer-songwriter, who owns a condo in Atlanta, announced on Twitter that he is “blessed” and confirmed that he and Renay, who started dating last year, will have their first child.

Ne-Yo (aka Shaffer Chimere Smith) has two young children with his ex- fiancée, Monyetta Shaw, who starred on "Atlanta Exes," which VH1 nixed after one season.

Ne-Yo and Shaw broke up in 2013.

In January, Ne-Yo, who has topped the charts with “So Sick,” “Closer” "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" and a horde of songs for other artists, released his sixth studio album, “Non-Fiction,” which includes guest spots from Jeezy, Pitbull and T.I., in January.
