‘Lawd, You Got the Perfect Body, Sis’: Tamar Braxton Wows Fans After Noticeable Slimdown

Before Tamar Braxton’s weekend getaway with boyfriend David Adefeso ended, the two enjoyed some time on the beach — and Braxton got to show off her slim frame.

The star was treated to a secluded dinner by her man earlier in the week where she and her many fans thought a proposal may occur. That doesn’t appear to have happened, but if the caption to Braxton’s video of her running on the beach in a black two-piece is any indication, she enjoyed the couple’s getaway regardless.

“Sometimes you have to remind folks that you STILL have options… 🤷🏽‍♀️ play with a puppy u get licked in the mouth!!..skr skr💨!!!😩😂😂😂😂😂 @david.adefeso gave me a weekend i won’t forget❤️🤩 thank u baby… but STOP playing w/me💑😩😂😂😂😇😅,” she wrote.

In the video, Braxton strutted and then jogged toward her man as her body was covered in a one-strapped bikini top, matching black bikini bottom and a wrap tied around her waist. Her belly appeared to be perfectly flat too, leading fans to wonder why she is embarking on a two-month-long quest to lose belly fat.

“Wait?? This body is from the 60 day transformation? Signnnnn me up”

“And u got the nerve to sit up there and say u tired of your stomach sitting on top of your lap 🙄😩Girllll that body is SNATCHED 🤦🏾‍♀️😍Lawwwd u got the perfect body 🅿️sis”

“She looks so good 😍😍 thickiana”

“If you don’t come through with that BAWDY on my screen Chile!!!! 😍😍😍”

Braxton has been on a fitness journey off and on throughout the last year. But after falling off of her diet, the singer recently explained on “The Wendy Williams Show” that she was ready to get her body in shape in order to get her mind clear, too. Strolling out to the interview in just her shapewear, Braxton said that Sept. 18 marked a turning point for the star.

“It’s my last day wearing my Spanx for life, period. I’m done,” she said. “Everybody’s talking about Hot Girl Summer. I’m lying. I had a warm girl summer with a filter and I’m not doing that no more. I can’t. My stomach is having several seats on my lap. I can’t live like this because I gotta feel physically amazing to be mentally amazing and I’m not there.

“So what I have challenged myself to do and what I wanna challenge everybody else who has the same feeling as I do, is I started this 30-day transformation with this 30-day transformation team,” she continued of the program that she’s since extended into 60 days. “Under my clothes, I wanna feel amazing and I wanna feel amazing about myself no matter what … Why can’t I fall in love with my body, why can’t I fall in love with my mind?”

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.
