Why Toni Braxton Believes Sister Tamar Braxton Is Done with Estranged Husband Vince Herbert for Good

Toni Braxton is happy for her sister Tamar Braxton now that she’s found love again. And the “Un-Break My Heart” singer says it’s clear her youngest sibling is not looking to reunite with her estranged husband Vince Herbert.

Toni visited “The Wendy Williams Show” Tuesday, Nov. 13 and chatted about her sister’s new relationship with a Nigerian Harvard graduate.

“He’s nice. As long as my sister’s happy, I don’t care who it is,” the star tells Wendy Williams of her sibling’s new man, whom Toni said she likes. As for whether or not a reunion between Tamar and Herbert is in the cards, Toni is unsure.

“I can’t tell,” she tells a disappointed Williams. “I would say no … It’s just me. I’m being honest. I just think they were for a moment, for a season. I don’t feel like it was for a lifetime. They have a beautiful son, Logan, and they’re parenting together but … I don’t know. I don’t want to talk about their lives.”

Tamar filed to divorce Herbert in October 2017 after being plagued by divorce rumors for years. The singer and her music executive spouse have yet to finalize their separation but Tamar herself has made it clear there is no hope for her to get back with the father of her 5-year-old son.

“U still with that dude Vince #askingforafriend,” a fan asked Tamar on Instagram in August.

“@totallyt420 #tellyafriendnaw 😩,” the star said in response.

Since then, Tamar hasn’t stopped gushing about her new man. She told Williams herself during a stop on the talk show in September that she might even be open to walking down the aisle again with her new bae.

“It depends on if I’m asked or not,” she said adding she “absolutely would love to have some wonderful, beautiful African children” with her boyfriend.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
