Tamar Braxton denies affair allegations linked to Toni Braxton’s partner, vows to protect her name:

In the wake of the latest round of rumors, Toni Braxton chose silence. It wasn’t the first time tension had rippled through the Braxton family; longtime fans of their reality show have watched moments of closeness give way to conflict before. Earlier this year, Toni Braxton accused Tamar Braxton of gaslighting her, a charge that reignited long-running speculation about the sisters’ relationship.

Tamar Braxton took to Instagram Live to address the issue head-on.

“I care deeply about truth and about my family. I will not allow lies to fester, I love my sister and always will. But I won’t let my character be dragged through the mud,” she shared.

People familiar with the family dynamic told AP that the rumor reportedly grew out of a private disagreement over money. According to one insider, things intensified when producers of the family’s reality series asked the sisters about “relationship troubles” on camera.

“They beeped the man’s name because they feared legal risk,” the source added.

Those close to the production said the events may resurface in the next season of the show, which is expected to explore “relationship fallout” and emotional repair. While Tamar Braxton has not taken legal action, her decision to respond publicly showed how determined she was to set the record straight.

“I’m in a place in my life where I want peace with my family and with myself. I refuse to accept lies as truth,” she later added.

After decades of performing both onstage and in front of reality TV cameras, the Braxton sisters seemed once again to be balancing their fame with the complicated realities of family life.

Toni Braxton and Birdman’s private wedding timeline revealed

According to a report published by People on April 10, 2025, Toni Braxton and Birdman had quietly tied the knot eight months earlier, though their newlywed chapter proved unexpectedly brief.

As reported by TMZ, the couple married on August 8, 2024, citing court documents as confirmation. Just two weeks later, Braxton filed for divorce, listing their separation date as August 10, only two days after the wedding.

However, in January of this year, the singer formally dismissed the filing, with Birdman also signing off on the decision. Toni Braxton and Birdman’s relationship had begun in 2016, after years of friendship. During that time, Toni Braxton had spoken openly about how the rapper became a steady source of support amid her lupus battle. In a 2018 interview with People, the Grammy-winning artist reflected on how their bond evolved, saying,

“I never thought we would be dating or getting married.”

Inside Tamar Braxton’s emotional post after frightening medical emergency:

Family headlines weren’t the only reason Tamar Braxton found herself in the news this year. According to a USA Today report published in August 2025, the singer was recovering from a serious health scare that left her shaken and physically injured.

On August 19, Tamar Braxton took to her Instagram Story to share that she had broken her nose, lost “some teeth,” and suffered limited mobility after an incident over the weekend.

“I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore I’m so weak, I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,” she wrote.

In a follow-up post, Tamar Braxton added,

“As the days go by the worse it is. I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility. The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins.. pray for me for real. I don’t even know what happened to me.”

Tamar Braxton has long been transparent about her health, both physical and emotional. During her 2015 appearance on Dancing with the Stars, she was forced to withdraw from Season 21 after being hospitalized. What she initially believed was pneumonia was later diagnosed as blood clots in her lungs.

In 2020, she again spoke candidly about her mental well-being and the challenges of working in reality television. After nearly ten years on We TV’s Braxton Family Values alongside her mother Evelyn and sisters Toni, Traci, Towanda, and Trina, Braxton accused the network of exploitation, saying she felt “betrayed, taken advantage of, overworked, and underpaid.”
