Cole and Gibson have been dating for less than a year.

Singer Jarell “Boog” Houston (formerly J-Boog of B2K) released a statement on Wednesday, (January 6th) to clear up his recent arrest.

The 24 year-old says he wasn’t arrested on domestic violence charges but for traffic violations and wanted to thank his fans for the support. Read below:

“I wanted to reach out to my fans right away to clear up the allegations circulating the web. I did not get charged with any form of domestic violence against the mother of my children. I love and respect all of the women in my life and would never harm any of them. Domestic violence is a very serious matter and one that should be treated that way, however this was not a case of domestic abuse. I was taken into custody due to outstanding traffic violations. I took care of the situation, no charges were filed, and I was released Tuesday evening. Thank you to my fans who stood by me regardless of any circulating rumors. I am looking forward to a great year in 2010 for Fizz & Boog and hope that you will continue to support. Thank you.” -Jarell “Boog” Houston
