One thing to check is if you are internally verbalizing in order to keep rhythm. If you are, and you start singing, you lose the verbalization and therefore the rhythm. So to sing and play, you need to feel the rhythm rather than think the rhythm.
One method to practice feeling the beat is to use an online metronome where you can program it to blank for a set number of bars. You start at one and gradually increase making sure you get back on time (and making sure you're not using verbal processing either). Then it's just time and practice.
