you didnt know people dont do that anymore?(sarcastic). babies are good but why not get married first? i mean dont you want to be sure that you really know this person. there is as strong commitment involved with marriage. i think that people just dont want that responsibility anymore.

That’s nice. They’ve been together for a minute now & he has always introduced her as his girl on red carpets and in the media. But I have to agree w/ Jade, if you like it put a ring on it!

Ne-Yo was raising the child b/c he thought it was his & was supporting the mother until he found out the child wasn’t his. There was big drama surrounded it b/c she still wanted money.
Congrats Ne-yo!
Some people don’t believe in marriage anymore b/c it’s not what it use to be. Some people see marriage as a contract, especially when your a celeb. I’m all for marriage though, but its up too the 2 parties involved. He shouldn’t be looked down b/c of his choice.

In that case, I think the mother tried to pull a fast one. DNA tests showed that he did not father that baby.

HE DID’NT WASTE NO TIME.

Really? I always thought that Ne-Yo was a little… “HOW YOU DOING???” Lol, some of you will get that. Congrats.

Same here! He’s been put on blast twice for partying with the trannies but I guess he’s an almond joy, sometimes he feels like a nut, sometimes he doesn’t…shrugs, congrats anyway!

@PlainMean… I did too.

SMH. He should have been glad to have dodged a bullet that first time. I think Ne-yo is trying to prove something by getting this girl pregnant. He thinks having a baby will confirm his heterosexuality when all this really confirms is that he is foolish and irresponsible.

Congratulations to Neyo and his girlfriend. The decision to get married is up to them and nobody else. I wish them the best.

wow congrats i went to school with her and this doesn’t surprise me that she ended up with a celeb.i know she’s trying to get her career to take off so i wish her the best!

I agree with Jade. That is the problem in society….marriage first then babies. It is just how it is to be! Come on people, even if you are thinking that way, don’t promote it. You should still raise your children to fall in love with the right person, get married and then have kids even if you didn’t do it yourself you should install the morals in them anyway!

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

You speak the truth. Serving time for all those crimes, even rape, just adds to their street credibility. You think people would be rallying around a certain crooner if he had been taped with a young boy instead of a girl? It all boils down the machismo image that dominates the Hip Hop/Rap/RnB world.

I hate to goat-mouth this post, but I hope this time he’s 100% certain that it’s his child gestating in there. I’m just thinking about what happened the last time. Not being a hater (man, I despise that word!), but I’m just saying.
Either way, congratulations on being 30 and not having a boat load of children scattered around like wheat grains.

*LOL @ boat load* But your right at this day and age it seems like most men already have two or three by the time their 30! SMH

I thought that with the first child Ne-Yo knew he wasn’t the dad but decided to sign the birth certificate anyway and raise him? Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought that’s what I read! Anywho, congrats to these 2 – marriage doesn’t guarantee anything so I don’t see the big deal!

Aww, Congratulations to Neyo and his girlfriend.
Yeah, I agree with Tanisha and Jade. Personally, I think I would want to get married before I have kids. I think, that I would want to live with him first and see how he is, and maybe we’ll think about kids later, cause they are a lifelong responsibility, and thats a long time to be stuck to somebody that you dont necessarily like; just because you guys have a kid together!

Come on dude, you know you ain’t been 30 for at least five years.

“Admires gays?” WTF? As opposed to admiring straights? I don’t want to put words in your mouth but IF you are saying that people should hate and look down upon someone just because they’re gay then smh.

The sad part is Ne-yo was just out on a date with another girl. They posted pictures on another site. So, I’m wondering whether they are still together. I just hope he gets a blood test, the people from her hometown, have very very bad things to say about this girl. But, maybe she has changed her life around or they could be untrue.
I also agree with the other ladies, get married and get to know your partner first. It takes a life time to really get to know someone. Even though it is not a gaurantee, but at least it is done in order, it is a start, and right in the eyes of God. Then, alot of these paternity testing places would shut down. Alot of these people are having babies and don’t even know the guys last name. Sad, but true.

Aww congrats to them!

It is really sad that marriage is not what it used to be. No one takes it seriously like they did in the 70′s and back. If it is not the men cheating it is the women. Even more sad is that we have to worry about not just our men with women… but with each other and now the girls gots girls too. It is sad and I do not see myself geting married in this life time. SMH, then we have to deal with the step kids and baby daddy drama….baby momma drama~
In the biblical days there were more than one wife, we just need to get to where we can have more than one husband. Get over it and live your life… Protect yourself whilst you do so too~
I am 34 with a two year old that I had with my best friend, no expectations from him $$ wise. I knew what I was getting myself into and the reality of our generation~

oh, congrats to him~

Right!!! I know none of us are perfect but it seems that everybody is having babies and nobody is getting married! Our kids look up to most of these celebrities and they are not being good role models!!! All the women are so and so fiance forever.
