Ne-Yo is having a very eventful 2016. First, he got married to his lovely wife Crystal Renay in February and now he’s a proud dad. According to Us Weekly, the newlyweds welcomed their first child together.

Renay gave birth on Tuesday (March 15) to a baby boy named Prince Shaffer Chimere Smith Jr., who weighed in at 6lbs and 8oz. Afterward, she later went to her Instagram page and shared a photo of the newborn's hand.

“It was the scariest delivery ever and I ended up getting a emergency C-section cause of complications,” she wrote in the caption. “But with the help of my amazing doctor @drsherryr and my super calming husband @neyo I was able to get through it all and come out with best reward in the world... SJ!!!!! #BestDayOfMyLife”

This will be Ne-Yo’s third child; he’s already a father to 5-year-old daughter, Madilyn Grace, and 4-year-old son, Mason Evan, from a previous relationship.

Last month, Ne-Yo and Renay tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The R&B star felt now was the right time to marry his “best friend.”

“I kind of knew right away,” he said. “From that first encounter, I knew there was something different about her, something special.”

Congratulations to Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay on their bundle of joy.
