The multi-talented artist NE-YO is opening up about his unconventional love life, introducing the world to his four girlfriends in a candid Instagram post. The “Closer” singer, known for his smooth moves and heartfelt ballads, shocked fans when he revealed his polyamorous relationship, proudly presenting Cristina, Arielle, Moneii, and Brionna as his four partners.
A New Kind of Love Triangle? More Like a Pyramid!
In a playful Instagram post on March 8, NE-YO shared the names (and affectionate nicknames!) of his partners, captioning the image with, “LADIES AND GENTS I PRESENT MY PYRAMID.” The post came just a month after the singer publicly confirmed that he’s in a relationship with not one, not two, but four women.
During a March 2025 appearance on Real 92.3 radio, NE-YO candidly discussed how he navigates his polyamorous life. After being less than truthful in the past about his relationship status with his now-ex-wife, Crystal Renay, NE-YO says he learned the value of honesty. He explained that he sat down with all of his partners, introduced them to each other, and let them know that while he cares for them, his love is shared. The result? A harmonious blend of mutual understanding and respect. “By the grace of God, everybody got along,” he shared, admitting he was upfront about his intentions with the women and even with his seven children.
So, who exactly are NE-YO’s four girlfriends? Here’s everything you need to know about Cristina, Arielle, Moneii, and Brionna and their unique roles in the singer’s life.
Cristina: The “Pretty Baby” of NE-YO’s Heart
Cristina, who often goes by “Pretty Baby,” has been in a relationship with NE-YO since at least May 2023. The stunning model and OnlyFans content creator frequently shares glimpses into their life, including their matching tattoos. In early 2025, the couple got “5eva” tattoos, symbolizing their eternal connection, and Cristina even went so far as to get a full forearm tattoo of NE-YO’s eyes in March. Cristina, who works at Glowing Touch beauty bar in Atlanta, is a key part of NE-YO’s life and, together, they even adopted a dog, Chimere Midnight, in November 2023.
Arielle Hill: NE-YO’s “Twin Flame”
Next up is Arielle Hill, a talented photographer known for capturing stunning shots of wildlife, celebrity events, and everything in between. NE-YO refers to her as his “Twin Flame,” a term that perfectly captures their deep connection. Arielle and NE-YO have been posting together since May 2023, with Arielle tagging him in her photography accounts. Over the course of their relationship, they’ve shared trips to exotic destinations like Brazil and Thailand. Arielle doesn’t shy away from publicly expressing her love for NE-YO, writing heartfelt tributes on Instagram like one she posted for his 45th birthday, calling him the “ying to my yang.”
Moneii: The “Phoenix Feather” Who’s Taking Flight
Moneii, whose online presence has made waves as an OnlyFans model, is also starting her own cosmetics brand, Faces by Secret, with NE-YO’s full support. The two began their relationship in mid-2024, and Moneii has been a vocal advocate for their polyamorous setup. She shared on social media that, despite public criticism, the foundation of their relationship is built on trust and mutual respect. “It’s us vs nobody,” she boldly declared, showing just how close-knit this unique family truly is.
Brionna Williams: The Latest Addition to the “Pyramid”
Brionna, who made her debut in NE-YO’s circle in late 2024, is a dancer who met the singer while working on his tour. A mom to a 5-year-old daughter, Brionna balances her career in choreography with her role in NE-YO’s polyamorous relationship. As the newest member, she’s already a fan favorite, often sharing behind-the-scenes moments from their travels, including a romantic workout session with NE-YO in Jakarta. Brionna first made their relationship public on New Year’s Eve 2024, posting a sweet snapshot of the two of them in matching blue dresses with the other girlfriends.
A Modern Love Story That’s All About Transparency and Respect
What stands out most about NE-YO’s polyamorous relationship is the level of transparency, honesty, and respect that defines it. The singer has been vocal about his journey of self-discovery and his commitment to building a family based on mutual understanding and love. And though this unconventional relationship structure may be hard to grasp for some, NE-YO’s openness is breaking down barriers and challenging societal norms.
