HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Christina Milian and The-Dream have split after less than a year of marriage.
"Terius 'The-Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful," his rep told Us Weekly Monday in a statement. "The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward."
The couple's marriage trouble became apparent when the producer was photographed over the weekend in the Caribbean, where he was getting cozy with his assistant, Melissa Santiago. Milian took to her Twitter page soon after the racy photos surfaced.
"Whatever you think, believe it," she wrote Monday.
Milian, 28, and The-Dream, 32, were married last September in Las Vegas. They welcomed their daughter in February.
The-Dream recently dismissed rumors that he and Milian were experiencing marriage trouble after separate photos of him with other women surfaced.
"The rumors are not true and it really boils my blood," the producer, who also has three children from a previous marriage to singer Nivea, told Essence magazine. "Christina and I are cool. People keep asking, 'Why haven't we seen you guys out together?' I'm working, that's why you haven't seen us. She's at work too in Los Angeles. The women in the pictures are actually legitimate friends of mine. The photo with me in the car with another woman, she's a good friend who's at my house all the time. It's sad, because [the blogs] have humiliated her. She feels bad, I feel bad and you don't know what that [judgement] does to that person. Who takes responsibility for that? I understand freedom of speech but if I made my living spreading rumors about people, my family wouldn't claim me."
