Christina Milian and Matt Pokora had a meet cute in Paris and have been together since.
Milian first met the French singer — who also goes by M. Pokora — in August 2017, when they were dining separately at a restaurant in Paris. The host of the establishment encouraged them to talk since they were both musicians. Milian wasn’t interested at first, but had a change of heart after catching a glimpse ofPokora.
“So we switched numbers, found out we had the same birthday that night,” Millian said to E! News in 2019. “And it was like the stars aligned.”
According to Milian, that night Pokora also predicted that the pair would have a kid together. The actress brushed it off at first, since she was already mom to daughter Violet, whom she welcomed with ex The Game in 2010.
“He told me, ‘We’re going to have a child together.’ … I’ve never had anybody say that to me,” she recalled, noting that she explained after she revealed she already had a daughter, he said, “Well, you don’t have a son.”
Three years later, Milian and Pokora welcomed son Isaiah. The couple later expanded their family with son Kenna.
