The-Dream and Christina Milian

Christina Milian and The-Dream have separated after less than a year together, UsMagazine.com confirms.

“Terius ‘The-Dream’ Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful,” his rep said 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 singer and hitmaker were engaged in July 2009 and eloped in September in Las Vegas, renewing their vows in Rome in December.

The couple has a five-month-old daughter named Violet. Photos of The-Dream cavorting with another woman, said to be his assistant Melissa Santiago, surfaced online Monday morning.
