Ne‑Yo was photographed shopping at Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS store in Los Angeles on Wednesday with four women he has identified as his partners, then treating the group to dinner and cocktails, according to published reports.
The 45‑year‑old singer, who revealed the arrangement publicly in March, appeared in good spirits as the party browsed the store and left with multiple shopping bags. Photographs show Ne‑Yo interacting closely with the women — identified in recent posts as Arielle Hill, Brionna Williams, Cristina and Moneii — including embraces and moments of apparent affection.
Ne‑Yo, whose given name is Shaffer Smith, introduced the group on Instagram in March after sharing clips and photos of the four women, writing, “Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly. LADIES AND GENTS I PRESENT MY PYRAMID.” He also posted their nicknames, identifying Cristina as “Pretty Baby,” Williams as “Sexy Lil’ Somethin’,” Moneii as “Phoenix Feather” and Hill as “Twin Flame.”
In addition to the Instagram post, Ne‑Yo addressed his relationship structure on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show in February, saying he was not manipulating anyone and that he had been transparent about his intentions. “I ain’t lying to nobody,” he said. “I set it out there. ‘Here’s what it is. I like you, but I also like her, and her, and her. If you cool with that, come on we gonna have a great time.’” He added that adopting openness earlier in life might have prevented what he described as “headache and heartache.”
Photographs from the outing show the group together inside and outside the store, with some of the women carrying shopping bags and one photographed with a bag full of clothes. Later, the group was seen at a restaurant, where they shared food and cocktails.
Ne‑Yo rose to fame in the mid‑2000s with hits such as “So Sick,” “Because of You” and “Miss Independent.” He has been previously married and is a father of several children. He was married to Crystal Renay from 2016 to 2022; the couple share three children: Shaffer Chimere Jr., 8, Roman Alexander‑Raj, 6, and Isabella Rose, 3. He also has two older children, Madilyn Grace, 14, and Mason Evan, 13, with former partner Monyetta Shaw‑Carter, and two younger sons, Braiden, 3, and Brixton, 1, with former partner Sade Jenea.
The shopping trip adds to the public timeline of Ne‑Yo’s disclosure of his relationship model, which has drawn attention and commentary since he posted about it earlier this year. In his online remarks, the singer asked critics to “say something nice or move on with [their lives],” writing, “We happy over here. 🥰💯.”
Neither Ne‑Yo nor representatives for SKIMS responded to requests for comment through the publication that filed the report.
