‘Andre Somewhere Punching the Air’: Towanda Braxton Flaunts New Boyfriend After Sis Tamar Braxton Sleuths Him Out

After fans were left wondering about Towanda Braxton’s mystery man during the early half of the sixth season of “Braxton Family Values,” fans have finally learned who he is.

Braxton showed off her man, whose name is Sean, on Instagram Thursday following the newest airing of her family’s We TV reality series.

The image shows Braxton cozying up to her boo as he sports sunglasses and snaps a selfie of the two. Braxton’s caption tagged the couple’s Instagram page, @kingladybug, and included the hashtags #funcouple #bfv #fun #goodness #cool #happy #peaceful and #beautiful.

Fans immediately flooded Towanda’s comments section with their approving messages. One even took a dig at the singer’s ex-husband Andre Carter.

“Andre somewhere punching the airđŸ€Ș”

“Yaaaas Towanda!! That glow up tho!!!đŸ’„â€đŸ‘‘đŸ™”

“I love black love. That smile on your face you definitely deserve♄”

“Towanda girlllllllll! He is cute! Yessss. I am so happy for you!”

“Yeeeessssss Y’all cute ❀ bout time the secret squirrel unkept a secret đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł @itowandabraxton.”

Braxton uploaded the image after viewers saw Braxton’s younger sister Tamar Braxton grilling her new man about how he knows Towanda.

During the April 18 episode, Tamar and Sean dined at one of the siblings’ go-to eateries, Toscanova, located in Calabasas, California.

One of the first clues Tamar got that Sean was Tamar’s mystery man is that he was sipping on a sherbet-filled drink only Towanda has ordered before.

When asked directly if he was dating someone, Sean would only say that he was “seeing somebody.”

“If y’all want somebody to keep y’all secret, I am her!” Tamar exclaims. “You say you had been here, you had the sherbert drink … that’s her drink. I am here for the secret, ’cause I ain’t stupid. I ain’t gonna tell nobody. I ain’t gonna tell nobody. I promise.”

After Tamar discovered the truth about Towanda’s man’s identity, the star told her other sisters her boyfriend’s name is Sean. Her sisters put it together and realized he is the cousin of music producer and writer Christopher “Tricky” Stewart,” with whom he used to make music. Towanda and her family met the duo when they did a demo with them.

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.
