HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The-Dream is opening up about his "failed" marriage to Christina Milian, insisting he never cheated as the tabloids have suggested.
"I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn't successful, but today that is between me and Christina," the rapper-producer wrote on his Web site. "Its easy to say that it's because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT'S NOT."
The couple's plans to divorce were first revealed on Monday, shortly after photographs surfaced of The-Dream in the Caribbean, where he was getting cozy over the weekend with his assistant, Melissa Santiago. He said the reality is there have been problems with Milian for some time.
"I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile!" he wrote. "I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn't for anyone to know. I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that!"
"There was so much going on in me and Christina's personal world that I tried to deal with it as delicately as I could and tried to regain my footing," he continued. "Instead of being direct in order not to cause even more hurt or hurt someone's feelings, I carried the weight in secret!"
The-Dream, 32, and Milian, 28, were married last September in Las Vegas. They welcomed their daughter in February.
"I am Human and people fall in and out of Love all the time... This is Life. Nothing’s promised or perfect, neither am I," The-Dream said. "I am not proud that I lost something we once had...LOVE! I've always been a Loving Father, Hard Worker, Generous, Stern and Eager to prove myself. My faults are I can be irresponsible and an ass sometimes, but I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER be a malicious person or wish harm to anyone, especially those I love or the mother of my child."
"I'm sorry for the embarrassment to everyone involved! If there's anyone to blame and you can't fathom this happening, please blame me and me alone for not being upfront!" he continued. "Even though we were trying to overcome personal things between us, I was just simply scared and embarrassed to let everyone know we WERE FAILING and HAVE NOW FAILED!"
The-Dream also admitted that he once contemplated suicide, but his mother helped get him back on his feet.
"I've cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I've tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming," he said. "But I was reminded by my MOTHER that I am not 'Superman' and its okay to lose sometimes... This too shall pass! And everything will be fine!"
