The ‘AM to PM’ singer and the rapper – who got married in September 2009 and have five-month-old daughter Violet together – admitted their relationship ended several months ago but have only announced their decision after The-Dream was spotted canoodling on the beach with another woman.

His spokesperson said: "Terius 'The-Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. 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."

In the pictures, the musician – who has three children from his first marriage - is spotted getting frisky with a young woman, believed to be his personal assistant Melissa Santiago.

After the photos were published, Christina took to her twitter account, and wrote: "Whatever you think, believe it."

Recently, The-Dream admitted he finds it hard to spend one-on-one time with the tot because of how close Christina and Violet are.

He said: "Christina's very attached. She doesn't let anybody near that baby. Not even me sometimes!"

He also confessed to not being a very hands-on father as he relies on lots of other people to help out.

He said: "I don't help out because my 'helping out' turns into expectations. I'll get Violet on a late night maybe one or two times, but after that, no. If Christina's tired, call the nanny, call Violet's granny. We got people."
