‘Aww’: Tamar Braxton and Boyfriend Swap Loving Odes as Singer Preps to Meet His Mom

Tamar Braxton is firmly in love with boyfriend David Adefeso and she’s not above letting the whole world know about it.

The singer posted a lengthy note professing her affection for her beau on Instagram Tuesday and did not hold back.

“The fact that I once thought that love was a feeling,” Braxton’s May 28 message began. “The fact is everything about that word is an action. To be patient and kind and giving, respectful, Honest, mature, nurturing, protective, present, problem solving ,a provider, Saved, Positive, considerate, all about family, is EVERYTHING that u are LOVE.. you won’t let me run and hide Nor have a tantrum 🙄 without communicating and facing ANY situation! Thank you for showing me that it’s not just about FEELINGS!! It’s DOING! #mylove💕💕💕 I’m so grateful for you🥰🥰 Happy just Being YOU day @david.adefeso.”

She accompanied the note by attaching two photos of her man in a relaxed pose wearing sunglasses and holding a cup of coffee.

The love fest was not one-sided either. Adefeso left a long comment of his own boosting up his main squeeze in the process.

“My love you complete me. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 Before u I was lost in the wilderness, thirsty and searching for that thing I I’d heard existed but remained all too elusive. 😫😫 ,” he began before concluding, “You have strengthened me; you have loved me; you have brought me closer to my God; you complete me. I love you; you love me; together forever! Your Dave.”

Braxton, who recently requested that she gets a “status only” divorce from estranged hubby Vincent Herbert, showed her adoration of the remark by calling her man AdeYemi and leaving several kissy face emoji.

Fans lauded the love fest.

“Ok ok 💜👌🏽👏🏽💯”

“This is beautiful the true meaning of love.”

“Awww so sweet!”

But it’s not just words the couple, who have been dating for about a year, are exchanging. As Adefeso has met Braxton’s son Logan, he is soon looking to have her meet his mother all the way in Nigeria.

“Meanwhile u about to meet my mama for real so now u trying to be nice. Oh I’m telling 🤣🤣” he commented.

The remark comes after the latest episode of “Braxton Family Values” aired last week, which saw Adefeso ask Braxton to meet his mom.

“If you think it’s OK, I mean, if you like it, I love it,” Braxton said in response.

“No one’s ever met my mom,” David mentioned.

“That’s a lot of pressure,” Braxton said. David eased her nerves by saying they’ll take some tequila shots to prepare. The couple plans on heading out for the visit in the next month or two.

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.
