CSI: Cyber actor Bow Wow has opened up like never before on his romance and upcoming wedding to former Love & Hip Hop New York star Eric Mena.

The rapper turned actor spoke with Larry King in an interview that was published on Ora.tv March 19.

He confirmed that the two met "years ago" when she had a cameo in his music video. The two reconnected a couple of years after that when she was originally supposed to play opposite him in the hit movie Lottery Ticket. He said they "remained close friends" even though she ended up not playing the part.

The two crossed paths once again when he landed a role as co-host in BET's 106 & Park video countdown show. He actually asked Mena to come host a Valentine's Day episode with him, which ended in the two kissing.

"Sparks flew," he said.

Interestingly enough, they were both dating someone else. So the kiss obviously upset their significant others.

He also added that the two will be getting married this summer. As far as the two getting lots of attention in their romance, Bow Wow confessed he doesn't feel too special.

"Everybody wants to know what's beyond the entertainment," he said. "What's beyond the celebrity? That's what they really wanna know. We live in a gossip era, it's just intriguing to want to know what's going on in somebody's life."
