Singer Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Renay welcomed a baby boy into the world on Wednesday.
Renay announced the news of the birth via social media.
“Prince Shaffer Chimere Smith Jr has arrived,” she captioned a photo on Instagram of her holding his tiny hand .
The new mom went on to say that he weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and is 19 inches long. She also revealed in the post that she had to have an emergency C-section and gave a shoutout to her doctor and Ne-Yo for getting her through it.
“It was the scariest delivery ever and I ended up getting a emergency C-section cause of complications 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!!!!!”
As we reported, Ne-Yo announced in September that he and the model were engaged and expecting. They were married last month.
This is Renay’s first child and the third child for Ne-Yo who has a son and daughter from a previous relationship.
