The R&B singer, 45, was joined by partners Arielle Hill, Brionna Williams, Cristina and Moneii on Wednesday, with the group spending up a storm at Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS store in West Hollywood.
The women were all seen leaving the underwear shop with full shopping bags, before they later shared cocktails and dinner together.
Ne-Yo, who enjoyed music success in the 2000s with hit songs like Miss Independent, So Sick and Let Me Love You, revealed he was polyamorous in an Instagram post back in March, in which he unveiled his “pyramid” of girlfriends.
Having split from his wife of six years, Crystal Renay, in 2022, the rapper said he and his partners were “happy over here” as he urged followers not to judge.
“Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly,” Ne-Yo wrote at the time alongside a carousel of photos of him with his girlfriends, whom he has given nicknames to.
“LADIES AND GENTS I PRESENT MY PYRAMID,” he began.
“Cristina aka PB (Pretty Baby). Arielle aka TF (Twin Flame). MONEII aka PF (Phoenix Feather). BRI aka SLS (Sexy Lil’ Somethin’)
“Say something nice or move on with your life,” he finished the post.
In a radio appearance on Real 92.3 Los Angeles earlier this year, Ne-Yo explained how his divorce from Crystal prompted him to be more open with his fluid dating life.
“After my divorce, I decided I ain’t lyin’ to nobody no more. I hurt a lot of people with just being dishonest about things that I could’ve been honest about,” he said.
“I realise now if I’d have just been honest from the jump, I could’ve saved myself a whole bunch of headache, heartache and everything else because it’s like, once you draw your line in the sand, ‘This is what this is, this is what it’s not,’ and let her make the choice, you’ll find the ones that rock the way you rock.”
He also confirmed he doesn’t live with his girlfriends, though they all reside nearby.
The singer, real name Shaffer Chimere Smith, is a father to seven children with three different women.
He shares three kids with his ex-wife, including Shaffer Chimere Jr., eight, Roman Alexander-Raj, six, and Isabella Rose, three.
Ne-Yo also has two children with most recent ex-girlfriend, Sade Jenea, including sons Braiden, three, and Brixton, one.
Crystal had announced her split from Ne-Yo in a July 2022 Instagram post, accusing the singer of cheating with “numerous women”.
“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a[n] understatement,” she continued.
“To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect.”
They finalised their divorce in February 2023.
Ne-Yo also shares a 14-year-old daughter, Madilyn Grace, and a 13-year-old-son, Mason Evan, with his ex-girlfriend, reality star Monyetta Shaw-Carter.
