Personal Life
After approaching American DJ and producer Diplo at the Fabric Club in London, the two became romantically involved for five years. From 2006 to 2008, M.I.A. lived in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where she met Benjamin Zachary Bronfman (aka Benjamin Brewer), an environmentalist, founder of Green Owl, musician and member of the Bronfman family. They became engaged and she gave birth to their son, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, on 13 February 2009, just three days after performing at the Grammy Awards. She owns a home in Brentwood, Los Angeles and divides her time between there and her mother's home in London. In February 2012, it was announced that she and Bronfman had split.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. As soon as there is a personal God he is a disappointing God.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean—when boredom seems the very stuff of life.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
