The R&B singer, 46, has been in a polyamorous relationship with three women since 2024, but recently added a fourth woman to the mix.
As well as Ne-Yo, the likes of David Haye, Will Smith and and Bella Thorne all have history of being in throuples or a polyamorous relationship.
Polyamory is the practice of engaging in multiple romantic, and typically sexual relationships, with the consent of all the people involved.
While throuples are relationships where three people, who have an equal commitment to the other two individuals, come together to form a consensual, romantic relationship.

In February 2025, he officially entered his 'polycule' stage - dating more than three people -when he welcomed dancer Brionna Williams (Sexy Lil’ Somethin’) into the mix.
Explaining his Valentine's Day plans this year, Ne-Yo said: 'Mind you these are three different women, three different personalities - I can't do blanket stuff like "Red roses for everybody!"'
'I have to make sure I get a gift for each of them that matches who they are, but then as far as like where we go and what we do that we decide together', he told Sherri Shepherd.
We go to one restaurant. We go to one concert or whatever it is that we're doing and then everybody gets their individual gift and everybody's happy.'
When asked if his girlfriends could date other men, Ne-Yo hypocritically said they 'gave' him their exclusivity: 'Meaning if you gave it to me, it's mine...You ain't giving it to nobody else.'

Singer Daniel Bedingfield revealed last year that he is polyamorous, admitting 'the one' will never be enough to satisfy him.
In an interview on The Shizzo show, he said: 'I was born to love two or three people.'
'Because... I found the right person for me. Everything I'd looked for and it wasn't going to work. I need to love three. Or two. My heart is different.
Shizzio asks: 'Right, so you can't love one person?'

'No! I still love everyone I've ever been in love with. My heart is full of people I've been in love with.
'And then a new one comes in and it's like which sister do you prefer? No! Do you love your sister more than your mum? Stop it, stop it.
'So I can't... which girl do you love more? It's completely someone else's idea. It doesn't fit [me] at all.'
In April 2024, Daniel opened up about his sexuality for the first time as he spoke about a 'man he loved' during a performance at the London Palladium.
The Gotta Get Thru This singer had been taking a self-imposed hiatus for the past two decades but had returned to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first hit song.

Addressing the crowds, he said: 'In my era, you had to be gay or straight, or f*** you. I wrote this song with a man I loved about a girl we both loved.'
The song was called Borderline and afterwards, Daniel spoke about this woman and said how much he and this unknown man missed her when she went away.
He said: 'I'm not very gay, but we were on a hot spring, sitting on a rock, missing her.'

Jada Pinkett Smith previously described her relationship with husband Will Smith and his ex wife, Sheree Zampino as a 'kind of throuple'.
The Nutty Professor actress, 54, revealed in 2023 that both she and the Men In Black star separated in 2016 - but have not taken steps to officially divorce.
The former couple are parents to daughter Willow, 25, and son Jaden, 27.
Will and Sheree were married from 1992 until 1995, and share one son, Trey Smith, 31, together.

Speaking on Red Table Talk in 2019, Jada said: 'When you have your husband that is taking care of another woman and spending time with another woman, it's the same thing.'
Jada has previously shared that the former couple have their own relationship she respects, noting that they take vacations together.
Will has never confirmed the 'throuple' relationship himself, but Jada described their dynamic as being more than co-parenting discussions and they share a special three-way bond.
Will opened up about their experience of an open marriage in 2021 when deciding to not have a monogamous relationship after realising it hadn't been working.
'Jada never believed in conventional marriage. And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection.

'The experiences that the freedoms that we've given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love,' he admitted, after also confessing that both he and Jada had engaged in sexual relationships outside of their marriage.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter Willow, now 25, came out as polyamorous in 2021 during a discussion with her mother and grandmother on Red Table Talk.
The then 20-year-old, who was in a relationship with boyfriend Tyler Cole at the time, said she would draw the line at having more than two partners.

She explained: 'With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just stepping into monogamy because that's what everyone around you says is the right thing to do.'
'So I was like, how can I structure the way that I approach relationships with that in mind?
'Also, doing research into polyamory, the main reasons why monogamous relationships - or why marriage - why divorces happen is infidelity.'
Willow was met with resistance from her grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, who said: 'For somebody like me, it feels like it's really all just centered around sex.'
Willow then gave her 'Gammy' an example of a couple who might have opposite appetites for sex.

'Are you gonna be the person to say, you know: 'Just because I don't have these needs, you can't have them either?'' the Rise songstress explained.
'And so that's kind of one of the reasons why I actually was interested in poly because I was introduced to it through kind of a nonsexual lens. In my friend group, I'm the only polyamorous person, and I have the least sex out of all of my friends.'
Willow - who said the 'history of marriage really irks me' - found a more open, compassionate listener in her mother Jada.
'I'm okay with whatever you do,' the Matrix 4 action star shrugged.
'When you were like, 'Hey, this is my get down.' I was like, 'I totally get it.' Wanting to set up your life in a way that you can have what it is that you want, I think anything goes as long as the intentions are clear.'

In 2024, Helen opened up on her relationship with David on Celebs Go Dating and admitted she was in love with him but found it hard with not being the only woman in his life.
Helen explained: 'I'd known him for 10 years. We did a reality show together. I remember the first time, seeing him in the jungle, I was like 'wow.' It was quite something – it's really hard for me to talk about [now].
'He had a girlfriend and an open relationship. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I did. We did have this amazing connection together – we were like fire.
'It was weird – I think he does love his girlfriend and he loves me as well. It just brings me to a part in my life that was quite dark.'
When Anna brought up that the relationship was reported as a 'throuple' in the media, Helen said: 'No [it wasn't]. I was in love with him. I wouldn't have enjoyed watching the man I was in love with have sex with another woman, that's not for me.

'I had communication with his girlfriend, but I felt very guilty. I didn't feel nice about it all. It really upsets me because I don't mean to hurt other people but I was just really lonely.
'I found it really difficult because it just happened. It's not nice on another girl and I should've known better.'

Rocker Yungblud came out as a polyamorous in 2020 and credited his queer fans and ex-girlfriend Halsey for helping him discover his sexuality.
The pop-punk star, real name Dominic Harrison, also revealed he is pansexual - the romantic, emotional and/or sexual to people regardless of their gender.
He told Attitude: 'I probably would say now, I am polyamorous. Before I didn’t f***ing know what I was.
'I was meeting people and learning… by meeting them and talking about sexuality and gender, I [was] going, "Oh my f***ing God, maybe I’m this, if I’m going to be f***ing close to anything on the spectrum."'

Yungblud, 28, added that while he had not publicly dated a man, in private he had 'hooked up with people and been into it and loved it'.
He went on to thank ex Halsey, 31, whom he dated for 10 months in 2018, for being open about her bisexuality.
'She taught me so much, even about my sexuality,' he explained. 'The conversations we would have at night, she has such knowledge because she’s been openly bisexual for years… it’s so funny when you’re dating someone, yet [you] owe them a lot towards your sexuality; even though she is not a man, she made me go, "Oh my God, I probably like am into that."
'I met someone, and she changed my whole perception of what love could be. It didn’t work out in the end because we’re better as friends and I think that’s what it was – we’re, kind of, very the same, so that was weird for us.'
Yungblud is currently in a relationship with singer Jesse Jo Stark, 34.

The couple look to be stronger than ever after rekindling their relationship last year. They met in 2020 and confirmed they were back together in August 2025 after a previous break-up in March 2025.
