Ne-Yo was at a charity event for his foundation when he learned Monyetta, who was reportedly due to give birth only in January of 2011, had gone into labor. The 31 year-old first-time father shared the happy news on Twitter.

Ne-Yo tweeted, “Salutations all. As my life transforms due to the new life that sprung up on me last night, it’s good to know my folks support. Luv y’all. Much luv to my twit fam and everybody showin’ luv to my new addition!! She’s healthy and happy. Feels like I’m in luv for the first time.”

“Much love to my rider and my new lil’ rider. Life starts now……and I promise I’ll do my best or die tryin’. Love y’all!! Brand new baby, brand new album. Life is GOOD!!!! Nov. 22nd, around the corner!!!”

New baby, new album and new life. Ne-Yo’s latest album titled “Libra Scale”, which features the single “Beautiful Monster”, will be available on November 22, 2010.

Congratulations to the proud new parents!
