When Sister 2 Sister last spoke with Terius "The Dream" Nash, the singer-songwriter behind Rihanna's "Umbrella" and his own single "Shawty is Da S#@t," he was at home with his wife, R&B singer Nivea, and their 2-year-old daughter. And while he'd laughed playfully about disagreements he's had with Nivea during his interview for S2S's January issue, it was clear to all that he loved his wife.
Months later, the New York Post's Page Six reported that The Dream and Nivea had split, and that he's been flying model Kris Jacob from her New York home to spend time with him in Atlanta and Las Vegas.
Nivea released an official statement exclusively to s2smagazine.com. Here it is in its entirety:
"I am sorry to have to report the news of our ("The Dream" and I Nivea's) separation. It is, however, a mutual decision for the both of us. We see this as an attempt to try and maintain the friendship we've developed since our marriage and also to allow growth for myself as well as him. Unfortunately I was not prepared for partnership, or even real life for that matter.
"I am completely and truly grateful and thankful to God for sending him into my life and to him for everything that he has done for me and my family—and that includes monetarily as well as spiritually and mentally, especially for myself —which was never his responsibility in the first place. None of you are aware of the real me and I plan to make that as clear as possible on this next album. I come from a sad and scary past that I am still in the process of overcoming and growing past —thanks to the man I love and always will. This is truly the only person I've ever known or heard of that is incredibly loving, passionate, wise, psychic, creative, genius, and many more things that I could never put into words.
"I don't feel it is fair for neither of us, especially him, to continue this never-ending battle of the minds that he and I have continued for long enough. I want nothing more than for him and I to be happy. His happiness is all I want, for I could never repay him for what he has endured by being my friend, partner, and husband."
The Dream and Nivea met when he wrote her 2005 hit "Okay." They've been married for three years.
