Romantic history
Milian is currently dating Dre from producing group Cool and Dre. After being together for nearly two and a half years, in the summer of 2005, Milian broke up with actor Nick Cannon. In an interview with Angie Martinez, she spoke about how she found out about Cannon cheating on her. According to Milian, while she was away filming Pulse in Romania, she attempted to log in to his T-Mobile account by entering in random passwords. After succeeding with one of the passwords, she was able to read his messages to and from other women with whom he had romantic relationships. When she returned to the states, she decided to play dumb, pretending she was completely oblivious to his cheating, before bashing him with the news that she knew he was cheating. Nick Cannon later revealed he refused to stay faithful to Christina Milian because their relationship was becoming too much like a Christian romance.
On August 6, 2005, Milian co-hosted The Reign at the Gerald W. Lynch Theatre in New York City with singer Eric West. The event was designed by a group of inner-city children in 2003 to raise funding and awareness for HIV/AIDS prevention education for men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS through the Elton John Aids Foundation, as well as working with the Fresh Air Fund to continue to help other inner-city children and family's. Both Milian and West were awarded Outstanding Achievement Awards for their humanitarian efforts. Soon after, various media outlets also reported that Milian was dating West. Both deny they were dating, and Milian posted on her MySpace that she "[has] no idea who Eric West is" although she had co-hosted an event for Elton John's AIDS foundation in August 2005, and been photographed with West at the last New York Fashion Week. Months after her interview with the New York Daily News, AOL News reported West and Milian were spotted together once again at a New York Hotel, saying "Singer-actress Christina Milian spotted looking nervous as she left the Hotel Gansevoort in New York's Soho district as she ran into actor Eric West. The two made headlines when Milian posted a MySpace blog saying she "[has] no idea who Eric West is" despite having co-hosted an event for Elton John's AIDS foundation in August 2005, and being photographed with West at the last New York Fashion Week. My mole said she kept apologizing to West during the chance encounter..."
