Back in March, Ne-Yo revealed reality star Crystal had stopped him from getting a vasectomy.

The So Sick singer told TooFab: 'She decided that she doesn’t want any more children, and I’m following her lead on that.

"Now mind you, my plan was to get the surgery, but she was like, 'No, no, no, don’t get the surgery because if we ever decide we do want anymore kids then we can’t do it.'

"I'm like, 'You just said you didn’t want more kids?'

He added: "And she was like, 'I don’t want no more kids right now, but what if I want some...' I'm like, 'Oh.'"

"So this last one is the plan, and then if God decides he wants us to have some more, I guess we’ll have some more."

Crystal and Ne-Yo married in February of 2016 in a Los Angeles fairytale ceremony with a six-foot cake and a Cinderella-style carriage.

He added 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. Now we feel like we can really talk to each other.”
