Chris Brown is rumored to be the father of a 9-month-old love child with a 31-year-old woman he's known and associated with for years.

According to TMZ, the "Loyal" crooner and the mother, only identified as Nia, are "on very good terms," but are no longer romantically involved.

The website adds 25-year-old Brown is elated about being a father and doesn't appear to have a formal child support order in place. Brown has been dating model Karrueche Tran, who tweeted about the baby news, signaling to a breakup.

"Listen. One can only take so much," she said in her tweet. "The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me."

The father of the baby is supposedly very sad about what has happened. He posted then deleted a message speaking out about his disappointment, according to TMZ.

"The Saddest Day Of My Life This lil girl meant the world To Me I been There Through Everything I was told This Was My child How Can This Be happening A Man Just Steps in and Take Over What I Built What I lived for I Dedicated My Whole Life To This Family Now Everything Is Gone.. @tmztv @balleralert Y Did This happen To me Now I lost My Lil Girl For Good," he said.

Brown has so far not addressed the rumors, and he has instead been sharing pictures of shoes on his Instagram.

A source told Hollywood Life that Rihanna does not want to talk about what is possibly going on in Chris Brown's life. 

""You know, [Rihanna]'s keeping it classy," a source said to the publication. "This is not a time to throw jabs at another woman." So true, isn't it?
