Ne-Yo is NOT back with his ex-wife Crystal Renay despite their recent public outing together … we’re told things are strictly professional, and the two are cordial.
Here’s the deal … Ne-Yo and Crystal raised eyebrows this week when they were both on hand for a public appearance at the opening of their restaurant chain’s newest location, prompting speculation they had reconciled after an affair that wrecked their marriage.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Ne-Yo and Crystal are definitely not back together and they were both at the restaurant opening because they are co-owners and it’s in their contracts.
We’re told Ne-Yo and Crystal are both dating and seeing other people … as well as co-parenting their three children.
TMZ broke the story … Crystal divorced Ne-Yo last year after he had a child with another woman.
Our sources say Ne-Yo has a certain amount of appearances he has to make for the restaurant chain they share, Johnny’s Chicken and Waffles, and Crystal is heavily involved in the business’ day-to-day operations … which is why they were both at the grand opening in midtown Atlanta.
It sounds like Ne-Yo and Crystal will keep bumping into each other in the future … they’re planning to open three more locations, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting back together over dinner.
