I always wondered how Christina Milian handled her break-up and raising her little girl with The Dream. Unlike Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, you hardly see them publicly together for family time. I can't blame her either! He publicly humiliated her and got caught cheating by paparazzi he was so careless–and all just months after Milian had given birth to their baby girl Violet who is now 4 years old.
But it looks like she's finally opened up about her struggles. It hasn't always been easy but this Latina mom is definitely doing much better now.

Christina actually teamed up with parenting blog, Momtastic last month where she's been sharing all her experiences as a mom. But the topic that seemed to resonate with most readers was her post on co-parenting. "I feel like I'm in a good place, all the better to just put it out there and hope that it can help someone else," she shared with ABC News. "We all figure it out. Sometimes, you just got to take it, take the lesson, and learn, and know that this happened for a reason."
Christina and her ex, The Dream, got divorced back in 2011. So how is she able to deal with this guy now? She keeps a positive outlook that's how. Plus, she didn't do it alone either. Christina admits that she's seen a therapist who has helped her learn skills on how to communicate with her ex. "I think that communication will save you half the drama," she said. "You know, it makes things so much easier. And I think I learned that," she added.
"My motivation at the end of the day was making sure that my daughter had two parents that were in her life consistently," Christina said. "She's a really smart girl and I think she has a healthy understanding of knowing that mommy and daddy are no longer together but we both love her."
So how are things with Violet and Christina's new fiance, Jas Prince? Well that's another thing she claims was SUPER important to her that comes with the whole co-parenting experience. "I think it's very important to take your time when introducing a new person into your child's life," she said. "You want to make sure this is going to work so you're not introducing them to a new person over and over again because you never know who is going to be the one."
Well it definitely looks like Christina has things all figured out. Co-parenting isn't easy, but don't get discouraged girl because it's definitely possible!
