Ne-Yo, the renowned singer and songwriter, has recently been declared the legal father of his two youngest children with his new girlfriend. This significant development comes months after Ne-Yo submitted a request to the court to establish himself as their father.
Key Takeaway
Ne-Yo has officially been recognized as the legal father of his two youngest children with his new girlfriend, granting them all the rights and privileges under the law.
Legal Recognition for Ne-Yo
According to recently obtained documents, a judge has determined that it is in the best interest of the children, Braiden and Brixton, to recognize Ne-Yo as their natural and biological father. This decision grants them all the rights and privileges entitled to them under the law.
The documents further state that the children’s last name will be changed from Bagnerise to Smith, which is Ne-Yo’s legal last name.
Seeking Parentage and Inheritance Rights
Earlier this year in May, Ne-Yo filed a request with the court to establish parentage for Braiden and Brixton. Additionally, he also sought to ensure that they would have the ability to inherit from him as if they were born in wedlock.
Background on Ne-Yo’s Personal Life
This legal proceeding comes amidst Ne-Yo’s ongoing divorce from his wife, Crystal. Last year, Crystal filed for divorce in Georgia, citing Ne-Yo’s involvement with another woman, Sade, and the birth of a child during their marriage. In her case, Crystal was also seeking child support for their three shared children – Roman, Isabella, and Shaffer.
