As BWW reported earlier this week, Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Renay Smith have welcomed their first child together, a son named Prince SJ. The couple tied the knot only three weeks ago.
Today, Ne-Yo turned to Instagram to reveal a first photo of the new arrival, (at left) captioning the pic: "Welcome to the world lil' man. (HA!
