Christina Milian has made an exciting return to the limelight with her role in Dexter: Original Sin, the highly anticipated prequel to the legendary crime thriller series Dexter (Showtime). Slated for a release before 2025, the show dives into the formative years of Dexter Morgan, the beloved anti-hero who lives by his chilling “code.” Milian takes on the character of a young Maria LaGuerta, showcasing a side of the infamous detective previously unexplored. As Milian brings her unique blend of poise and intensity to this role, fans are already buzzing about how she’ll reinvigorate LaGuerta’s backstory with fresh energy and perspective.
But it’s not just Miami’s dark underbelly that has Milian shining this year. Her upcoming Netflix film, Meet Me Next Christmas, scheduled for release November 6, 2024, is set to be a holiday hit.
Milian stars as Layla, a woman determined to spark romance during the festive season. This lighthearted, feel-good role is a welcome shift from her intense turn in Dexter, proving Milian’s ability to pivot seamlessly between genres. With heartwarming stories and high-stakes drama, it’s clear Milian has mastered both the festive charm of Netflix originals and the chilling drama of crime series.

As she juggles these high-profile projects, Milian has also been busy embracing a more personal role—living life to the fullest in Paris. After moving to the City of Light in 2023 with her husband, French singer Matt Pokora, and their children, Milian has made Paris her home. In interviews, she’s expressed how the city’s rich culture and active lifestyle have provided a beautiful backdrop for raising her family. Paris, with its iconic architecture, history, and art, offers the perfect environment for her children, especially her daughter Violet, who recently began middle school. Milian and her family are often seen exploring parks, enjoying leisurely walks, or indulging in Parisian cuisine. It’s a serene counterbalance to her fast-paced Hollywood career.
While she’s deeply rooted in family life, Milian hasn’t closed the door on her music career either. She’s hinted at possibly returning to the recording studio in the future, but for now, her focus remains on acting and adapting to her new life in Paris. Milian has also been showing her support for emerging artists, sharing a behind-the-scenes video from Dexter: Original Sin where she grooves to the music of new artist “Bruklin” for her new single ‘Daydreaming‘ This enthusiasm for discovering fresh talent showcases her ongoing connection to the music world, even amidst her busy schedule.
