Ne-Yo’s Backup Dancer Appears To Join Poly Relationship

Ne-Yo has seemingly added his backup dancer, Bri, to his polyamorous relationship.

The professional dancer, who has been touring with Ne-Yo since 2023, was recently spotted in club photos with the R&B singer and his quad. Although the performer has posted separate intimate photos with the “So Sick” singer on her Instagram before, it’s her first public photo with the other ladies—sparking speculation that they are all now a quintet.

The revelation comes after Ne-Yo flicked it up on a yacht last week alongside three of his partners who go by the Instagram handles: Daddys_Pretty_Baby__, Phoneixx__feather, and ArielleHill. Their joint caption read: “US vs. …NOBODY. You can’t compete where you can’t compare. #PolyAndFly.”

Elsewhere on Bri’s Instagram, there are posts of the two dressed for tour in matching army green ensembles, getting cozy on stage, working out together, soaking up the sun at the beach, gazing into each other’s eyes and even enjoying a recent trip to Indonesia, where they had a relaxing spa date.

While some fans applauded Ne-Yo for living his truth, others had questions, leaving comments beneath their photos.

“Wait so you’re the 4th?” one person asked as another wrote, “There’s 4 wives.” A third person commented, “I know he has other gfs but idk this gives like the one he should be with the chemistry is through the roof,” as a fourth said, “Ya’ll look the f**k good together!”

The 45-year-old also took to his own Instagram to double down that he doesn’t care for anyone’s approval of his lifestyle choices.

In an IG Story, Ne-Yo wrote, “Them: ‘NEYO WE DON’T APPROVE OF YOUR POLY RELATIONSHIP!!’” over a picture of him wearing a T-shirt that reads “FUN FACT: I DON’T CARE.”

Bri reposted his story with the comment, “He said what he said.”

Ne-Yo first confirmed his polyamorous lifestyle in an interview on Lemon Drop with Karleen Roy.

There, he candidly shared his revelation that monogamy wasn’t for him and that his 2022 divorce from Crystal Renay Williams allowed him to live his truth. “Society tells you you’re supposed to be with one person. You get married, and that’s supposed to be the end-all, be-all,” he explained. He admitted that for years, he was “lying and trying to be somebody I wasn’t” and that embracing polyamory has been a “weight lifted off [his] shoulders.”

Despite the controversy, one of Ne-Yo’s partners made it clear that their relationship isn’t just about romance. Under the aforementioned yacht photo, she wrote, “Yes we’re in the public eye and we know people are gonna voice their opinion that’s what’s expected but y’all need to understand over here it’s a solid foundation. We understand each other we stand on 10 when it comes to each other a lot people will never understand that and that’s cool just know it’s US VS NOBODY.”
