A ROCKY 2019

True enough, Ne-Yo admitted on his New Year's Eve Instagram post that 2019 had its "bumps and bruises." Unfortunately for them, the "bumps and bruises" got the best of their relationship.

"2019 had its bumps and bruises, yes sure, but it's not about the difficulty, it's about one's ability to realize when something is worth fighting for and one's willingness to push thru to the potential greatness of a situation."
