Ne-Yo is making one thing clear — his polyamorous lifestyle is working for him, and his four girlfriends are on board with it.

The 45-year-old R&B artist took to Instagram on Monday, March 10 to introduce his “pyramid,” to his fans, sharing photos of each woman in his life, moments from their relationships, as well as their Instagram handles.

“Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly,” Ne-Yo captioned the post, showcasing his four partners: Cristina, Arielle, Moneii, and Bri. “Say something nice or move on with your life. We happy over here. 🥰💯,” he concluded the post.

Fans were quick to leave their opinions on the photos, with many supportive of the musician and his partners.

“At the end of the day, as long as everyone involved is aware and consenting, who are we to judge?” one supportive fan said.

Another shared, “The important thing is that you are all happy!! 🥰”

“And they all got they own hustle . I respect it 🤷🏾‍♀️, ” a third noted.

One person even suggested, “We Need a Reality show! I want to see how these girls all get along every day 🙌,” a comment which has received over a thousand likes.

The photo comes after the “Closer” hitmaker’s interview on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show in late February, where he opened up about how he explains his unique relationship dynamic to his seven children. “It’s like, ‘Hey, this is daddy’s girlfriend, And so is that, and so is that, and so is that,'” he said, adding that the women are actively involved in family life.”She gonna make you some cereal, she gonna cook lunch and she gonna wash your clothes.’ And it’s all good.” Ne-Yo emphasized that his approach is based on transparency, saying that he makes sure everyone involved knows the score: “I like you, but I also like her, and her, and her.”

Ne-Yo was previously married to Crystal Renay Smith until their split in 2023, after she accused him of having a child with another woman during their marriage, per People. They share three children. He also has two kids with Monyetta Shaw-Carter and two with influencer Sade Jenea Bagnerise.
