They hit it off and began dating two weeks later.
They got married in Los Angeles in February 2016, and Ne-Yo told People in 2020 that it has "pretty much been bliss ever since then..."
The couple went through a rough patch in February 2020 and announced they were filing for divorce.
The singer revealed that they were able to fix their relationship due to the coronavirus lockdown and claimed it was “a blessing” for them.
“The whole quarantine thing was kind of a blessing,” Ne-Yo said on CBS’ The Talk in June that year.
He added that he was able to spend more time with his family and really “lock back in” with his wife and kids.
He continued, “Before the quarantine happened, we were definitely talking divorce, and the quarantine kind of forced us to sit still, block out the noise from the world, you know the world can get very, very loud, and we tend to let the world’s opinion mean more in certain situations than it should.”
“We’re actually stronger now than we were before,” he added.
“Now we feel like we can really talk to each other.”

Did Ne-Yo and Crystal Smith get re-married?
Ne-Yo and Smith got re-married in a Las Vegas ceremony on April 24, 2022.
Their wedding comes two years after they filed for divorce and were able to reconcile their differences during the pandemic.
"This weekend means the world to me. Everything that it's about, everything that it is, and the fact that I get to do it with you," Smith said in a video posted to Instagram.
"I love you forever and always. A million times, a million years, I always choose you."
Ne-Yo praised Smith in the video, and said, "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.
"Where some would see attitude, I saw confidence. A woman with knowledge of self-worth, absolutely refusing to accept anything less."
Are Ne-Yo and Crystal Smith getting another divorce?
Smith filed for divorce for a second time only four months after she and Ne-Yo were remarried.
According to TMZ, Smith claims her decision comes after Ne-Yo allegedly fathered a child with another woman.
The outlet reported that the divorce documents say their marriage is "irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation."
Smith has filed for primary physical custody and joint legal custody of their three children as well as alimony and child support.
The couple separated on July 22, 2022, according to the court documents and the children have reportedly been living with Smith since their separation.
Smith alleged in the court documents that she "knows" Ne-Yo "committed the act of adultery."
In an Instagram post on July 31 that has since been taken down, Smith accused Ne-Yo of allegedly having affairs.
“8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous of women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them!” her statement began.
“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t," she continued.
She concluded her statement, writing: “I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect."
Ne-Yo responded via Twitter, writing: “For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors. Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums."
He added: “I simply ask that you please respect me and my family’s privacy at this time.”
