‘Is He Mad Mad?’: Tamar Braxton Fans Can’t Help But Remark on Vince Herbert’s ‘Mean Mug’ During Son’s Kindergarten Graduation

It was a happy occasion over the weekend when Tamar Braxton’s son Logan celebrated being promoted from kindergarten to first grade, but you wouldn’t know it by the looks of the singer’s estranged husband’s face.

Braxton proudly shared a few moments from the day the 5-year-old she shares with Vince Herbert graduated to the next grade on Instagram Saturday, which included the youngsters reciting a pledge.

“That kindergarten class is saved!!! He’s going to the FIRST grade already!! Congratulations To my BEANS💕” Braxton happily captioned the post from May 18.

However, fans’ attention was quickly turned away from Logan’s big moment and onto his father. This was thanks to a photo with Braxton’s nephew Diezel, mom Evelyn Braxton, sister Toni Braxton and Logan and Herbert accompanying the star’s caption.

While the entire Braxton clan and Logan are all smiles, Herbert is seen scowling at the camera.

“Vince look hella mad 🤣😂”

“Is he mad mad ! 🤣😥😂”

“Why Vince gotta look like that? Miserable meanwhile everybody else all smiles I love it. Don’t let his negative vibe ruin a good day.”

“3 different pics and Vince has the same mean mug in all of them. 😂😂😂😂”

“OMG was Vince forced to do something he didnt want to do…. GOSH its ur son graduation… congratulations Logan!!”

Tamar and Herbert have been in the middle of a long divorce process that began when the former filed to end their marriage in October 2017. The latest development came in April when Braxton filed to request a “status only” divorce to make herself legally single while details of the divorce, like custody, are sorted out.

“Petitioner seeks a dissolution of her marriage with Respondent based on irreconcilable differences,” the documents obtained by The Blast read. “Petitioner believes there is nothing the Court can do to salvage or repair the marriage.”

Meanwhile, Tamar and Herbert have moved on from one another. Tamar has been dating financial firm CEO David Adefeso for nearly a year. As for her music executive spouse, he is seeing someone whom their son refers to as his “wife,” as Tamar told her sisters on an episode of “Braxton Family Values.” Details about Herbert’s romance are not known, but Tamar has happily shared date nights and other details about her relationship with Adefeso.

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.
