The “So Sick” singer and his model bride enjoyed afirst look momentbefore their outdoor ceremony, in which the Grammy winner got an initial glimpse at Smith in her sparkly Ese Azenabor gown.
“Where some might see a smart-ass mouth, what I saw was a mouth that has no problem letting it be known what’s on the lady’s mind, thus making it easier for a worldly man to understand her,” he said. “Where some would see attitude, I saw confidence. A woman with knowledge of self-worth, absolutely refusing to accept anything less.”

The pair are parents to sonsRoman Alexander-Raj, 3, andShaffer Chimere Jr., 6, and daughterIsabella Rose, 10 months. NE-YO is also dad to daughter Madilyn Grace, 11, and son Mason, 10, from a previous relationship.
The romantic weekend comes more than six years after they were married in February 2016 in an oceanside ceremony about an hour outside of Los Angeles.
“Our meeting was initially strictly business, and I had planned on shooting a short film with the album,” NE-YOtold PEOPLE in 2016. “We met at a restaurant, but she showed up two hours late. She explained later why that was: She was just trying to get some info on me: who I was, if it was really going to be a business meeting or if I was some creep.”
The star clearly passed the test, because they started dating about two weeks later: “It’s pretty much been bliss ever since then, I can’t lie,” he said at the time, noting that he “kinda knew right away” that Crystal was the one.
The couple endured a rough patch in 2020; they announced they were divorcing in February 2020, butreconciled four months later, crediting COVID lockdowns with saving their marriage.
“We’re actually stronger now than we were before,” he added. “Now we feel like we can really talk to each other.”
