Tamar Braxton Fans Confused by Her Attraction to New Beau: ‘I Thought You Said He Was Fine’

Tamar Braxton made her red carpet debut with boyfriend David Adefeso last week, and after months of remarking about how “fine” he is, fans got to determine for themselves how attractive he was.

“Whew chile 👅💦” Braxton captioned a pic of the couple posing on the red carpet for the “Braxton Family Values” April 2 season 6 premiere.

Fans initially expressed happiness for the couple, who have been dating for about 10 months.

“Tamar u two make a lovely couple. 🙋🏿😉❤️🙏🏾👍🏾

“Yaassss @tamarbraxton Tamar is living her best life ok hunty lolz Happy for you!”

But then, others said they felt puzzled about Adefeso’s attractiveness.

“He’s not as cute as you pumped him up to be 🤷🏼‍♀️”

“🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I though his ass was fine 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️”

“Sexy where?”

“Nooo child I thought u said he was fineeeee😳😳😳”

“Well u did think Vince was fine so I guess u did good 🤗”

“Girl! He not fine. Stop saying that. Let other people say it, if it’s true. Don’t @ me I am a tamartian.”

Adefeso’s face has largely been hidden from the public until promos began rolling for the newest season of “Braxton Family Values.” Across her Instagram over the last several months, Braxton would only give glimpses of Adefeso’s smoldering body or if his face was shown, it would be hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.

“Thank you, God, he’s so fine! I can’t take it sometimes. It’s like a whole snack — a Lunchable! He lives in L.A., he’s originally from Nigeria, but he lived here for a while,” she gushed on “The Wendy Williams Show” in September 2018.

Braxton has shared that she’s never been happier than she’s been since dating Adefeso, the CEO of The Pacific Group financial services firm, which is based in Los Angeles.

Speaking to E!’s “Daily Pop” in February, the singer admitted she is “absolutely” in love.

“Like, head over heels, like never before,” she said blushing. “Like I’m 17 again. It’s amazing! He’s got a couple [of jobs] and he’s fine!”

Still independent.

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.
