Ne-Yo's Ex-Fiance Monyetta Opens up on Love, Breakup, Lessons

Published by Daily Times on Thu, 28 Aug 2014


Judith Frank-EdetA good number of people have no clue to who Monyetta Shaw is. Well, she isthe mother of Neyos two kids. Though she isnot trending likeKarrueche Tran is with Chris Brown,and though shes no longer dating Neyo, they still sharethe same home as couples do. Neyo has a model girl friend Crystal Renay. So recently, Monyetta had an interview where she talked about Neyo, their relationship, breakup and kids, Read excerpts from the very interesting interview below;On How She Felt About Ne-Yo Announcing Their Break Up on InstagramI was shocked. We discussed him going to his publicist and making it known that way. However, he felt to do the latter part. Now its okay. But back then, I was a bit shocked.Ugh, it wouldnt have been my choice. Let me just say that. But living in the same house, when he comes home, we have to hash it out and talk about it. Like normal couples do. You talk about it, you go back and forth. It was actually- people might imagine screaming matches but it wasnt [that]. It was like, Look, Im talking to you. Whats going on' Lets figure this out. Can we fix this or can we not'I was basically fighting for my family.On Why They Broke UpHe was honest enough to let me know that he wasnt ready for monogamy at the time and you know, I couldnt do anything but respect it.It was a bit much for me. My parents, they were together for 43 years. Thats all I know. So it felt like, OMG, what do I do' I dont know how to operate in this space. So I did a lot of praying and lot of soul searching and you know, had to remain strong for my kids. Because at the end of the day, I am the example. And they are facing me every day. And mommy doesnt have time to break down and dont have time to- you know- I gotta be strong. So yeah, I wasnt too happy about [the breakup] but time heals all things.I definitely appreciate his honesty. Hes always been brutally honest, eventually [laughs]. But hes a good dude. I see his potential. Hes awesome- he really is. I have nothing but positive things to say. And like I mentioned, hes a great father.On How She Feels About Ne-Yo Being in a New Relationship (with model Crystal Renay)I really dont think much of it right now. When it gets serious, thats when I will dedicate the time to think about it because we have two little kids so its kind of not just us. So that person has to be amazing because theyre little kids and theyre so impressionable.I cant even think about [Crystal] right now. But when it gets to that point, well cross that point. But I wish him the best.On Still Living with Ne-YoI think it kind of made it harder in the beginning. However, time heals all things. And hes away more than hes here. And he has a good heart and hes a good person. Like I said, everyone has their vices, you know' But hes a good dude overall and thats how were able to be friends.I like to say that were starting a movement. Were not going to be the stereotypical I hate my baby daddy. I hate my baby momma thing. Youre not going to see that. Were going to start this movement that we can all get along and we can be classy about the situation and be a great example to our kids. Thats what its about at the end of the day.Keep watching the show. Some things may change. I dont know. Its a process. It just made sense for us at the time [to live together]. We always knew it wouldnt be forever and eventually were both going to move on and figure things out. Its just temporary.On If Shed Ever get Back with Ne-YoIll always have that love for him. Hes a good guy. But at the place where hes at and Im at, it doesnt make sense right now. Only God knows.You know, people grow apart. People change. Like I said, only time will tell. I think I will forever have a special, special place in my heart for him. I know that will never change. Im open to the possibility of love, whatever that may look like. If God [will] send the right person to me. Now if God works with him and sends him back, thats on God. And if not, Im cool with that. Who knows' Right now Im good and I wish him the best. Its all love.On If its Difficult to Date After Ne-Yo/Dating Anyone nowI am just now ok- its been my process. The world is going to go with me on this process. Its a difficult process. However, Im just now open to the idea. You have to be open to it. For so long, I didnt even see anybody else. Im sure a cute guy would pass me all the time but I wouldnt notice them because I just wasnt in that space But I will say Im single and ready to mingle. Not dating yet but Im open to the possibility. It would take a strong confident man, its not just me anymore- who has to be able to love me and my kids.I was actually the only one on the show that wasnt married. I was engaged. So I was looking forward to [marriage]. So dating scares me. But Im gong to trust the process and if I meet that amazing man, Im just going to go for it. Im ready now. I wasnt before but I can definitely say that Im ready now.On Advice for Dating a Famous ManAmazing strength. Being that backbone to him. Being his serenity is so important. And Ill throw this back in- while still loving yourself. And set some time for yourself. Because a lot of us, were so caught up in it. Just be there, be supportive. But dont lose yourself in the men. Especially powerful men, successful men, its so easy to let that happen and then God forbid it doesnt work out and then you have to kind of start over.
