Congratulations to Ne-Yo and his wife, Crystal Smith. The Grammy-winning R&B singer announced on Sunday (Feb. 21) that they have another baby on the way.

“Overjoyed to announce... the family is expanding. #Number5, #5thandFinal, #BlessingsOnBlessings, @itscrystalsmith. You ready baby? Let’s go!” Ne-Yo posted on Instagram, sharing a video clip of the couple embracing with his hand rubbing her baby bump.
