You may know Christina Milian best from her music heyday ("Dip It Low," "Say I"), and movies like "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and Netflix's "Resort to Love [1]," but the singer-actor's other main title is being a mom of three. Milian shares her two youngest kids, sons Isaiah and Kenna, with longtime boyfriend, French singer Matt Pokora. She also shares her oldest, a daughter named Violet Madison, with her ex-husband, famed singer and producer The-Dream.
While Milian is keen on not showing her sons' faces on social media, that doesn't stop her from showing off her adorable family every now and then — especially her "special girl" Violet, who frequents the star's Instagram page from time to time. Though she admitted to The Bump [2] in 2020 that "things can be a bit hectic" with her kids sometimes, she takes pride in her "parenting superpower," aka being the "most fun parent."
Speaking to the outlet, Milian also offered some parenting advice, saying, "Time flies by, and they're only little for so long. Cherish those sweet little moments, even if they are crazy little balls of bananas. They grow up so fast. You just watch it fly by. So take lots of pictures. Talk a lot. Record lots of videos so you can go back and look at those sweet moments."

Violet Madison Nash
Milian welcomed her oldest and only daughter, Violet Madison Nash, on Feb. 26, 2010, with The-Dream (real name Terius Nash). Violet has three half-siblings from her dad's first marriage and two baby brothers thanks to her mom. She also has her own Instagram page [3] and appears to love taking photos and hanging out with Milian, as evidenced on the star's page.
On Violet's ninth birthday [4], Milian shared a photo of her daughter in a "Happy Birthday" headband and wrote: "My dear Violet, Happy 9th Birthday! I'm so blessed to have a girl like you in my life. You love hard. Your laughter, empathy, sassy attitude, your goofy & fun approach to life is what life is all about! I LOVE YOU more than love itself. So does everyone around you. I'm happy we get to see the world together and hope to show you a good example of knowing and finding your true potential. You deserve everything you can wish for IN LIFE! Love- Mommy."
On Milian's 2015 E! reality TV series, "Christina Milian Turned Up," she opened up about how giving birth to Violet transformed motherhood for her. "The second that she was born, it was, like, instantly I became a child again," she said, per People [5]. "It's like I see the world with new eyes: Not only is this my life to live, this is for my daughter."
Isaiah Pokora
Milian's second child — and Pokora's first — Isaiah, was born on Jan. 20, 2020. The "Falling Inn Love" star announced their son's birth [6] on Instagram that day with a sweet close-up photo. "And so we begin. Isaiah 1/20/20," Milian wrote. "Simply perfect. The world is yours Son. Love, Mom & Dad."
Pokora shared a similar photo [7] of their son on his own page. "Once upon a time there was Isaiah," he wrote in French, "born on 20/01/2020 ... it's your turn to write the rest ... Welcome my son 🇺🇸/🇫🇷 ❤️." He added, in English: "@christinamilian you're my hero."
For Isaiah's third birthday, Milian celebrated by posting another close-up photo of her son on Instagram [8], hiding some of his face, and wrote: "How can it be?! Isaiah turns 3! Today is the day that we celebrate! So grateful we are, as he's come so far. A smart little boy, filled with lots of joy. Your family Loves you, Isaiah my boo! Everyone join me in saying.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🥳🎉🎂."
Kenna Pokora
Milian's third child — and Pokora's second — Kenna was born on April 24, 2021. The actor and singer announced his arrival [9] that day on Instagram with their first photo together. She wrote, "Kenna, Welcome to the world baby boy! Wow, What an adventure we've been on since the day he was conceived! I thank God everyday for blessing me with his super active energy (wonder where he gets it from? 👀) and now to meet our healthy baby boy?! Thankful. Blessed. Now it's party of 5 baby!"
Milian has since shared a handful of glimpses of her baby boy, including a montage of videos on his second birthday, during which she penned a sweet message to him on Instagram [10]. "Kenna you may be the baby of the crew but everything about you is big! Your laughter, your joking ways, the love you share with me, Daddy and your siblings," she captioned a post. "We love you so much! Happy 2nd birthday to my baby!!! Mommy will be back soon to celebrate with you! 🥳."
