The pair had been dating for almost a year prior to the split. Rumors of their romance began July last year and Milian eventually confirmed their relationship in May. “There’s nothing better than that feeling of that new chemistry, when you’re so into someone you really could care less about what anybody else has to think” Milian, 33, told Entertainment Tonight about her relationship with the 32-year-old rapper. “I feel so inspired by the relationship that I’m in. It’s like that careless, hopeless-romantic love where it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I will do anything for you,’ it’s just incredible.” The singer and reality star is mom to 5½-year-old Violet Madison from her marriage to rapper-producer The-Dream. The couple married in September of 2009 before divorcing after 10 months. Milian currently has her own “docu-soap” on E!, Christina Milian Turned Up. ET was first to report the news. A rep for Milian has not responded to a request for comment.
