Watch: Ne-Yo Introduces His 4 Girlfriends From Polyamorous RelationshipNe-Yo just can't pull himself away from his four girlfriends. That's why the "Closer" singer-who is in a polyamorous relationship with Cristina (nicknamed "Pretty Baby"), Arielle Hill ("Twin Flame"), Moneii ("Phoenix Feather") and Brionna Williams ("Sexy Lil' Somethin'")-has an Alaskan King-sized bed in his house. "That's like two California Kings next to each other," he explained to YouTuber Kai Cenat during a Sept. 10 livestream, "You gotta get that mattress made." While Ne-Yo (real name Shaffer Chimere Smith) noted that he isn't legally married to any of the women, he does consider them to be his "wives." "My love life is phenomenal," the 45-year-old added. "I'm in a great space. I have four beautiful ladies that who move with me on a regular." Ne-Yo first introduced his girlfriends to the world in March, revealing that he has a special nickname for each of the women. "Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly," he wrote on Instagram at the time.

As he put it, they've set clear boundaries with each other, including how the girlfriends aren't allowed to date other people. "When I got with these women, I did not ask for their exclusivity. I did not demand their exclusivity. They asked for it," Ne-Yo noted on The Angie Martinez Show in April 10. "They came to me and said, 'I want to be exclusive to you and just you.' I said, 'You understand that your exclusivity to me, does not mean my exclusivity to you? You understand this, yes? You're OK with it?'"Instagram/Ne-YoIn fact, the "So Sick" artist-who was married to Crystal Renay Williams from 2016 to 2023-said his "main rule is to just keep it buck" with his partners. "We're not gonna lie to each other," Ne-Yo added. "We're not gonna sit up here and blow smoke." Keep reading for more stars who were candid about their non-monogamous relationships...

"There's no such thing as monogamy with men."And ultimately, it just made sense for the couple."We didn't decide," the RuPaul's Drag Race star, who met his husband at New York nightclub Limelight in 1994 some two decades before they wed, told Vanity Fair in 2019. "The hoax is that monogamy is actually something that can actually happen. I wouldn't want to put restraints on the person I love the most on this planet. I wouldn't do that to someone I love, my very best friend."And having an open marriage doesn't make them question their love for each other."Listen, if you get something happening that you cannot resist and that's going to make you happy, go for it," RuPaul continued. "Go fot it. Because the truth is, I know in my heart of hearts like I've never known anything before, that man loves me more than anything else in this world."InstagramThe Sister Wives StarsKody Brown once said, "Love should be multiplied, not divided."And for decades, he was in a plural marriage with wives Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown-with their journey being documented on the series Sister Wives."I just fell in love," the father of 18 said on the first episode in 2010, "and then I fell in love again and I fell in love again."However, he's since fallen out of love with polygamy. Christine and Kody announced their breakup in November 2021, with him and Janelle confirming their separation in December 2022. A month later, Meri revealed their decision to "permanently terminate" their marriage. As a result, Robyn is Kody's sole wife. "I'm not an advocate of plural marriage, but I've had my own experience in it and I've had my own failures in it," he told People in December 2023. "Because of that, I'm like, you got to be really, really wise about who is doing it, how they're doing it."And while Kody said it can work for some people, he noted "there's those marriages that have people who know each other very, very, very well, and they still don't work."Some of Kody's exes have since embraced monogamy-like Christine, who wed David Woolley in 2023 and has said on the show she "wouldn't live polygamy again." Others, like Janelle, have said they "would consider a plural marriage again."As for wife Robyn, she said on a 2024 episode she'd do plural marriage again if she could guarantee a "positive successful experience."Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording AcademyWillow SmithWillow Smith brought a discussion on non-monogamy to the red table."With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you," Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's youngest said on a 202
