Ciara and Bow Wow Split  4/9/06

R&B star Ciara and her rapper boyfriend Bow Wow have ended their one year relationship.

The couple, who collaborated on the hit single Like You, were found out to have separated after Bow Wow was seen romancing another woman in Los Angeles last weekend (01/02APR06).

However, a spokesperson for 20-year-old Ciara says the split happened months ago and was "amicable".

Bow Wow, 19, adds, "Ciara and I have parted ways. I wish her all the best."

The couple were rumored to have been engaged after Ciara was regularly seen wearing a large diamond on the ring finger on her left hand to public engagements.
