Ne-Yo and his girlfriend Monyetta Shaw have welcomed a baby girl into the world.
Monyetta gave birth to the couple's first child - named Madilyn Grace - on Friday night (12.11.10), two months premature of her anticipated January arrival.
However, despite the baby coming sooner than the pair were expecting, the 'Beautiful Monster' hitmaker revealed the way he feels about his newborn daughter is like falling in love for the first time.
He told People magazine: "I've been in love before but this feels like nothing I've ever felt. Like I'm in love for the first time."
Ne-Yo - who rushed from a charity event to the Atlanta hospital where Monyetta was giving birth - recently admitted while he was excited at the prospect of becoming a parent, he was also nervous about the responsibility which comes with it.
He said: "I'm so excited and nervous. It's amazing - I'm bringing another life into the world. But at the same time, I'm like, 'Oh c**p, I'm responsible for another human being.'
"I don't even buy my own underwear, where am I going to find his? But I'm so looking forward to it."
