Ciara Says She and Ex Future Are ''Cool,'' Calls Their Son ''the Greatest Joy of My Life''

Singer opens up about breakup and her family

Ciara is sounding off on her ex-fiance Future.

In a new interview with the Breakfast Club, the 29-year-old singer says she regrets nothing about her failed relationship with the rapper.

"It clearly didn't work out," Ciara said. "But I have the greatest gift, the greatest joy of my life is my son [Future Jr.]. Honestly, I feel like everything in life happens for a reason and my son has been the greatest gift that God has given me in my life and been the most game-changing thing that's happened to my life, in a necessary way."

Ciara wouldn't get into specifics about their split (Future was plagued by cheating rumors at the time), but she did say, "I can't really break all that down because I don't event think it really matters to tell you the truth. Especially when the ending is great as it is with my son. That's what worked out, my son."

Ciara says she and Future are cordial with each other these days.

"We're cool. We have a child together and as a parent it's important to be able to communicate," she revealed. "We don't talk every day, there's no need to. But my son is clearly the connection between he and I and as parents I think it's important to be able to communicate. I like to stay happy and I like to live life light and make the best of life. And I think that when you carry a certain kind of energy, if you have like a funky energy that you hold within yourself, you just can't grow."

Ciara added, "You live and you learn. My son has given me so much clarity. Now I'm like a full-on woman. You don't really understand what that means until a few things happen to you in life, but my son has totally given me so much clarity and I couldn't be more clear than I've needed to be."
