Selita's lawyer, Marty Singer responded to the allegations that the pair had parted ways back in December 2006.

After Marc, Selita dated the Drumline actor, Nick and in February 2007, Nick gushed about her to People's Magazine. He said that Selita is a fantastic woman and changed everything in his life. On 30 April 2007, Nick proposed her to get married with a 12-carat diamond ring in Times Square.
However, just five months after their engagement, Selita and Nick parted ways. Selita’s representative, Melissa Raubvogel confirmed People Magazine in October 2007 that couple is taking a break to focus on their careers but will remain the best of friends.
After her short-lived affair with Nick, Selita started dating American actor Terrence J in November 2011. After two years of dating, Selita called it off in 2013 citing “scheduling conflicts.”
Selita talked about her past relationships while promoting her new show, Celebrity Grounds at Power 105’s The Breakfast Club in 2013. While speaking about her affair with Nick, she revealed both of them were very young to start a relationship. She also talked about Terrence, and their work priorities over affair pursued them to call it quits.

However, things turned a little ugly when Ryan's ex-fiance, Brandy Norwood threw shade at Selita and her former partner. While Brandy had already moved out from her relationship with Ryan, the singer during one of her stage performance in 2017 marked Ryan as “lying, cheating and rebounding with a “broke b*tch."
