Ne-Yo recently appeared on the Sherri show to provide a closer look at his polyamorous relationship.
During the interview with host Sherri Shepherd, the R&B singer explained that he maintains a single, shared relationship with three women rather than three separate ones.
He noted that this arrangement stems from a commitment to total honesty following his public divorce in 2022.
Ne-Yo shared that he wanted to stop being dishonest about his desires and instead find partners who were comfortable with an open dynamic.
The artist detailed how the current setup began with a conversation with his longest-standing girlfriend.
He gave her the choice to expand their relationship to include other women, emphasizing that he never used pressure or ultimatums.
According to Ne-Yo, everyone involved made the choice to stay and participate in the shared lifestyle.
He described the dynamic as "one relationship" where all partners are on the same page, though he remains the "head of the household."
Sherri Shepherd questioned the singer on the practical aspects of his lifestyle, such as gift-giving and Valentine's Day.
Ne-Yo admitted that it requires significant work to balance the three different personalities within the home.
However, he maintained that the effort is worth the result of a peaceful and honest living situation.
He stressed that "radical honesty" serves as the foundation of their unit, allowing them to discuss jealousy and insecurity openly.
While Ne-Yo has faced criticism online since introducing his "pyramid" of partners, he told Sherri that he remains happy with his choice.
He previously noted that his girlfriends are exclusive to him, even though he does not practice exclusivity himself.
For Ne-Yo, this unconventional path has provided a way to avoid the mistakes of his past and build a tribe that supports his current outlook on life. The full interview is scheduled to air on Friday, January 16.
