After dating for nearly a year, it's the end of the road for Ciara and Bow Wow, two of the most successful artists in R&B and hip hop. "Ciara and I have parted ways," Bow Wow tells TEEN PEOPLE. "I wish her all the best." Miss Info, a DJ on New York City's Hot 97, first reported that Ciara, 20, and Bow Wow, 19, broke up after he was spotted with another girl in Los Angeles last weekend. But a rep for Ciara tells TEEN PEOPLE, "Ciara and Bow Wow have been broken up for a while, but their parting was amicable." The Atlanta-based couple worked together on the song "Like You," which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. They would walk the occasional red carpet together with Ciara sporting a large diamond ring on her left hand's ringfinger. The bauble raised eyebrows, but when TEEN PEOPLE asked Bow Wow about its significance in September he said, "It's just a little gift, that's all. Nothing major." During the same interview with TEEN PEOPLE, Bow Wow made it clear that their relationship was so serious that even their families had become close. "My mother is very supportive of everything I do. She loves Ci [his pet name for Ciara] and Ci loves my mother, so it's a whole other connection," he said. "I never had that father connection until now. So me and Ci's father, we bond a lot. I talk to him on a daily basis."
Ciara, on the other hand, tended to keep quiet about the relationship. "When it comes to that part of my life I am a very private person," she told TEEN PEOPLE last year. "When you have a chance to talk about the business and how good it's going, I definitely take advantage of that... But when it gets deeper and deeper to the personal, that's when I kinda go down a little bit."
