She released her third album So Amazin' on May 2006. Although it didn't played a major success in the international scene, it debuted #11 at the Billboard's 200 album charts and it only sold 500,000 copies worldwide. That made her decide to leave its record-label Island Def Jam Records. She released her first compilation album entitled The Best of Christina Milian in Universal International on November 22. As of this date, she is preparing for her 4th album that is set to release in 2008.
In the past, she dated Nick Cannon but she broke it off when she found out that Nick is cheating on her. They stayed together for about two and a half years and they started in their movie Love Don't Cost a Thing. She is lately spotted with Eric West in Elton John's AIDS Foundation event where she co-hosted the event and caught them together in New York Fashion Week. She denied that and said that she didn't know him personally. She also rumored dating Dre from the duo Cool & Dre but she denied it although Dre admitted it. Same goes for Wilmer Valderama but she denied it also. If that's the case, she's really a one hot babe for she is surrounded by men and i never doubt this men for their taste because she's really sexy.
