There's a lot of happy news coming from the R&B corner. Singer Ne-Yo has proposed to his girlfriend Monyetta Shaw. She happily accepted, but it's not the only good news the couple has to share: they're expecting a baby too!
Shaffer Smith Jr., that's Ne-Yo's real name, and his fiancée are already parents to 10-month old daughter Madilyn Grace. According to reports the new addition to the family can be expected as soon as October.

Ne-Yo, 31, is a real family man. He was raised by a single mother, after his parents split up. The singer is all to aware of difficult societal situations and therefore, he has founded The Compound Foundation. The organisation helps children in foster homes reach their full potential. Ne-Yo has said about the Foundation, "Every Mother's Day we select five foster mothers that are going above and beyond, and we make the whole day about them. Either I'll perform or I'll get on of my friends to perform and it's just a whole day dedicated to those foster mothers, giving them the opportunity to just take a break and be appreciated. We've gone to visit the families, we do a camp every year. An entrepeneurial camp. Just making sure these kids get those opportunities."
