Ne-Yo is expecting

When I first saw this headline, my eyes popped out my head. I am shocked. Ne-Yo? A few years back, Ne-Yo was taking care of an ex-girlfriend's son until he discovered that baby wasn't his and that resulted in a nasty lawsuit that obviously went in his favor because we havent heard anything more of it. Sorry for the long sentence. But anyway, Ne-Yo has confirmed to EbonyJet that he is expecting his first child.

EBONY sat down with the singer-songwriter at a super exclusive photoshoot planned to help promote his upcoming album Libra Scale. Ne-Yo, who is preparing to attend the ASCAP Awards Friday night in Beverly Hills, talked about how he had traveled home to Atlanta to get some news about the baby.

Surprise! He had to come home so he could make the first ultrasound visit with his girlfriend. There’s no word on the sex of the baby because the tiny tot curled up in a ball, leading Ne-Yo to joke that his future progeny is “stubborn.” But, he added, “They didn’t get that one from me.”

“I am 30 and I do have my first child on the way, and I’m very, very, very excited about that,” he tells EBONY. “It’s a New Year’s baby and I’m just in a really good place right now.”

Congrats to the happy couple.
