R&B sensation, Ne-Yo, is adding his name to a long list of A-list entertainers who have recently or will soon be first-time parents.  Following in the footsteps of Jennifer Hudson, Keyshia Cole, Kelis, Usher, and Alicia Keys; Ne-Yo has confirmed that he will also soon be a parent.  Although it was rumored back in 2005 that he was the father of his then-girlfriend Jessica White’s son, paternity tests came to prove the claim false.  ”I am 30, and I do have my first child on the way, and I’m very, very, very excited about that. It’s a New Year’s baby,” he happily explained to Ebony Magazine.  Looks like all that baby-making music has paid off…in big way.
