Diva and Dragon break upSydney Confidential

PAULINI Curuenavuli and her league winger boyfriend Wes Naiqama have split amid allegations surrounding a suspicious bruise on the singer.
It is understood the Young Diva 23, and the Dragon are no longer together and she has moved her things out of his St George home.
Word of their break-up came the day after the singer's furious family approached St George Illawarra CEO Peter Doust to complain about Naiqama's behaviour.
A representative for Young Divas yesterday confirmed the singer's management had been "aware of the situation for a few weeks".
"It was brought to our attention as a representative of Paulini," the rep said. "I think the Curuenavuli family acted appropriately doing what they did. The correct thing to do was going to St George Leagues Club."
The representative said that Curuenavuli had been "distant and emotional" in the past few weeks.
The Australian Idol singer and member of girl group Young Divas returned to Sydney late yesterday from a promotional appearance in Brisbane.
Doust said last night there was "no issue" as far as the club was concerned.
"I extended an invitation to Paulini to come and talk to me about it so I could understand her perspective on it," Doust said.
"She declined the offer."
He said he had again met Curuenavuli's mother Miliana yesterday at Dragons headquarters and the situation had been resolved.
"Her mother is relaxed about the situation," Doust said. "(Paulini) is supportive of Wes' position."
Doust laughed when asked if Naiqama would be sacked by the Dragons over the controversy.
Curuenavuli could not be contacted by Confidential yesterday, but on Tuesday night in Brisbane she said that the allegations were all a misunderstanding.
