New details in The-Dream’s split from Christina Milian have been uncovered. Documents reveal that the hitmaker sought a divorce nine days before his wife gave birth to their daughter.

The-Dream filed paperwork in Georgia on February 17, claiming the marriage was “irretrievably broken,” reports TMZ. In the divorce documents, The-Dream declares, “There is no hope for reconciliation.”

The “Single Ladies” songwriter announced his separation from Milian earlier this month, saying they had been separated since last year.

“The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet,” his rep told UsMagazine.com. “They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward.”

Milian and The-Dream wed on September 4, 2009, and welcomed their only child Violet on February 26. Despite the break up, Milian has been seen wearing her wedding ring in public.
