Tamar Braxton Warned to Speed Up Divorce from Estranged Husband Vince Herbert

Posted byBy Tanasia Kenney | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tamar Braxton‘s split from estranged husband Vince Herbert is at risk of being dismissed if she doesn’t speed things up, according to the L.A. County courts.

Court documents obtained by The Blast show the “Love and War” singer has been warned that her petition for divorce from her husband of nine years might be scrapped altogether due to inactivity. To move forward, the court said Braxton needs to show proof that Herbert was served divorce papers in order to acquire a default judgement without his involvement.

Braxton filed for divorce from Herbert back in  October 2017, but reports claim he has yet to respond to the petition. There’s also no proof that Braxton properly served him with the divorce papers. Their split came amid rumors that Herbert was unfaithful and got another woman pregnant during their marriage.

If something doesn’t happen soon, however, the pair, who share a 5-year-old son, may be stuck with each other for a little while longer.

Earlier this month, the R&B songstress made it clear she was absolutely through with Vince after sharing an Instagram video of her lounging around, living her best life with the cryptic caption, “…enjoy your life kids, live it to the FULLEST 💦 #capfree.” Braxton also confirmed to a fan that she and Herbert were no longer seeing one another, squashing any rumors of them possibly reconciling.

Since their estrangement, the couple has put their California home up for sale and Tamar has been open about getting cozy with a new mystery man. The singer confirmed she was indeed “boo’d up” earlier this month as her divorce from Herbert continues to drag on.

Folks still aren’t sure exactly who the mystery man is, but the two were spotted outside a restaurant in mid-July. Whoever he is, Braxton seems to be completely happy.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
