I finally spoke to R&B singer Monica. She was very emotional as
she announced the separation from her fiance, Rocko. This is the only
statement that Monica will give. She asks that the media (and bloggers)
respect her privacy during these trying times.

I know there were many rumors. I appreciate
that you never dug into them for the sake of both our families. I am
going to rest today & go back to work tomorrow. I am going to do
what I have always done. Focus on my children, my family & my
career. Rock was put under a lot of harsh scrutiny during our entire
relationship and I’m sure that was not easy.

However at this point our focus is being great parents. He is a
great father to his children and, continuing forward, that is my only
concern. With every breath in our bodies we will make sure that they
feel as little pain as possible And continue to have the lives they had
before with no attention dedicated to our separation. I will not be
speaking on the subject further unless it is with God whom I believe
does everything with reason. I love my children and their father and
I’m truly grateful for those that loved and supported us through the
good and the bad throughout the years.
