Ne-Yo opens up about new romance

'Closer' hitmaker Ne-Yo has a new lady in his life and confessed that he's really excited about how their romance is blossoming. 

Speaking to New York's Hot 97 about his relationship with model Crystal Renay, the star explained that it's going well and he doesn't want to waste energy trying to hide it from the press so decided to just talk about it instead:

"We are in a good place... She has much promise. Yes, much promise. Quality. You know what, at this point in my career, at this point in my life... I'm 34 years old, I don't have time to be hiding."

He went onto add that it's easier if he's up front about his personal life where he can be because it helps avoid rumours coming out: "Of course, there are some things you keep personal and private because you're a human being. But, on the other side of it, I ain't got time to be hiding nothing and all that (sic). It is what it is."

Ne-Yo also shared a photograph of Renay (shown above left) via his official Instagram page yesterday and accompanied it with the caption: "Either or...designed to be adored. @mscrystalrenay #ARealWomanCanBeBoth."
