Ne-Yo has explained the logistics of his polyamorous home life.

The So Sick rapper lifted the lid on how he lives with four "wives", explaining he had commissioned a specially made bed to accommodate everyone.

Ne-Yo, whose legal name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, told YouTuber Kai Cenat that he, Cristina, Arielle Hill, Moneii and Brionna Williams sleep together on an "Alaskan King-sized bed"

"That's like two California Kings next to each other," he explained in an interview published on 10 September.

"You gotta get that mattress made."

While Ne-Yo, 45, acknowledged he and his domestic companions were not legally married, he still preferred to refer to them as his "wives".

"My love life is phenomenal," he added. "I'm in a great space. I have four beautiful ladies who move with me on the regular."

In April, Ne-Yo admitted that while his "wives" had agreed not to date outside their relationship, the same rules did not apply to him.

"When I got with these women, I did not ask for their exclusivity. I did not demand their exclusivity. They asked for it," he told The Angie Martinez Show. "They came to me and said, 'I want to be exclusive to you and just you.' I said, 'You understand that your exclusivity to me, does not mean my exclusivity to you? You understand this, yes? You're OK with it?'"
