"She&amp;apos;s One, Two Step-ing her way toward a better life! As Us Weekly exclusively revealed earlier today, Ciara has called it quits with Future &amp;#x2014; her fiance and father to her newborn son Future Zahir Wilburn&amp;#xA0;&amp;#x2014; after learning of his infidelity. Before the news broke, the &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m Out&amp;quot; singer spoke with Us on Tuesday, Aug. 12, about how her life has changed since welcoming her baby.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m in a much more clairvoyant place in my life,&amp;quot; Ciara, 28, told Us of motherhood. &amp;quot;So, I want to express that through my music.&amp;quot; The singer, who will appear on MTV&amp;apos;s House of Style for Degree Women, further mused.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m in an even more expressive place,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I think that when you become a mom&amp;#x2026; you don&amp;apos;t really worry about the small stuff. I&amp;apos;m just way more centered. It makes you focus even more on what your goals are in life. And I just feel a whole new spiritual energy that&amp;apos;s happening.&amp;quot;\r\nAccording to a source, Ciara was &amp;quot;devastated&amp;quot; after learning of her fiance&amp;apos;s betrayal. &amp;quot;He cheated on her,&amp;quot; the insider said. &amp;quot;Game Over.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDespite her recent trials, the R&amp;amp;B still counts her abundant blessings, especially as a proud mom to her 3-month-old baby. &amp;quot;My son has been the best thing that has happened in my life,&amp;quot; Ciara told Us of Future Zahir, born in May. &amp;quot;He has been amazing and he is truly heaven-sent. And so, I just feel all that love.&amp;quot;\r\nShe added that parenthood has fueled her to be even more diligent about her career. &amp;quot;I want to be one of those moms and women that when I look back, I know that I always stayed focused,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s about keeping your eyes on the prize. Before I had a child, I had goals. And I still have to accomplish those goals, but now that I have a child, I have more goals to accomplish. So I can&amp;apos;t waste time. I have to go for it.&amp;quot; She added, &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s actually pushing me harder, and forward.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIndeed, Ciara has been hard at work in the studio with mega-producers like Dr. Luke and Mike Will (who&amp;apos;ve worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Wiz Khalifa). &amp;quot;Now my concept is do more&amp;#x2026; times three.&amp;quot; She elaborated, &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m all about making the best music possible&amp;#x2026; We&amp;apos;re just having fun, letting the music live. Just letting it be.&amp;quot;\r\nShe added with a laugh: &amp;quot;I am not an old lady! Moms can be fresh, fly and young, and that&amp;#x2019;s the kind of mom I want to be, and there definitely can be a &amp;apos;Body Party Part 2.&amp;apos; And 3, and 4 and 5.&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;Body Party&amp;quot; was her standout 2013 track co-produced and co-written by her ex, who helped produce much of her self-titled fifth studio album last year.)\r\n\r\nThe multi-tasking songstress her state of mind has helped her hone in on her dreams. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s a good challenge,&amp;quot; she said of being a working mom. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#x2019;s all mental. I&amp;apos;m mentally committed to doing the things I need to. It becomes a part of who you are and you just have to commit to it. You can&amp;apos;t lose focus of what your goal is.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s a great thing,&amp;quot; she said of motherhood. &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#x2019;t trade it for the world, and I&amp;apos;m very, very happy.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
