His mother died in 1992 when Nash was fifteen years old, an event which would inspire him to write songs.
Personal life
The-Dream has eight children. After dating for six months, Nash married his girlfriend Nivea in 2004. Together they had three children, daughter Navy Talia (on May 10, 2005) and twin sons London and Christian (April 19, 2006). Nivea filed for legal separation on December 10, 2007. Nash said that although he was in love with Nivea, his lack of experience in a family growing up meant he was "not taught how much more than love [it takes] to run a relationship. Like, 'cause love isn't just where it's gonna end. It can't start and stop with love. There has to be a certain amount of knowledge and patience that's acquired in order to keep it going and keep it straight, and I found out the hard way." Their divorce was finalized on June 15, 2008.  Nash began dating Christina Milian in early 2009 and she became pregnant. The Daily Mail reported that "the pregnancy was a surprise, but they were getting married regardless." They were engaged in June 2009 and married on September 4, 2009 at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas. Nash said in an interview that Nivea was still a good friend of his, and that she was also friends with Milian. Five months after their wedding, Nash filed divorce papers in Georgia on February 17, 2010, just nine days before Christina gave birth to their daughter on February 26, 2010. The couple announced their separation on July 12, 2010, after photos surfaced of Nash with his assistant. Their divorce was finalized on October 23, 2011.  In 2012, Nash briefly dated Lydia Nam, who welcomed their son in 2013.  Nash married Lalonne Martinez on July 3, 2014 at San Francisco City Hall. They have two sons, Heir (born in 2015) and Lord (born in 2016).
