R&B star Ne-Yo and his rumored girlfriend, Monyetta Shaw, are currently expecting their first child together. Ne-Yo is very excited to finally become a daddy, but his relationship with his baby mama is very peculiar.

“I am 30 and I do have my first child on the way, and I’m very, very, very excited about that,” he tells Ebony. “It’s a New Year’s baby and I’m just in a really good place right now.”

The singer even flew back home for their first ultrasound, even though they could not find out the sex of the baby since it was stubbornly “curled up in a ball”. Aw. Cute!

Anyway, Monyetta, who is due in January 2011, is expecting Ne-Yo’s baby, but she is treated by her baby daddy like a friendly carrier. No kidding. The 30 year-old claims they are not together. They are just friends.

Ne-Yo said, “I have a friend. Not a girlfriend. She’s carrying my child but knows I can’t commit. She doesn’t mind other women.” He can’t commit? Why? When his baby is born, “I’ll be in Atlanta, Miami or Brazil and celebrate with alcohol and a member of the opposite sex.”

WHAT? Ne-Yo must have some type of masculine inferiority complex! He keeps saying how much he loves women and how he will get dirty with a member of the opposite sex to celebrate the arrival of his baby. Is this pregnancy a desperate attempt to shut down those gay rumors?
