R&B’s favorite gentleman, Ne-Yo, is about to be a proud (and married) papa, once again. The singer is reportedly engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Atlanta boutique owner Monyetta Shaw, and the couple is expecting their second child together.
The good news was recently confirmed to Us Weekly by a rep for the couple, who shared that the baby is due next month.
Though the baby’s arrival is just a few weeks away, Shaw shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to managing her thriving business. The established boutique owner is still hard at work preparing for the opening of her second boutique, Emaralyn and Ester, in Atlanta’s Buckhead district.
The couple welcomed their first child on November 12, 2010, when Shaw gave birth to their daughter, Madilyn Grace Smith, in Atlanta. And like any first-time dad, Ne-Yo was thrilled by his daughter’s arrival.
“Much luv to my twit fam and everybody showin’ luv to my new addition!! She’s healthy and happy. Feels like I’m in luv for the first time,” tweeted Ne-Yo, before later telling People, “I’ve been in love before but this feels like nothing I’ve ever felt. Like I’m in love for the first time.”
The couple has yet to announce any plans for their wedding but we’re sure news of the nuptials will come after the birth.
Congratulations to Ne-Yo and his growing family. –nicholas robinson
