Tamar Braxton’s Boyfriend Writes a Sweet Message to the Singer, and Fans Love Him for It

It looks as if Tamar Braxton‘s Nigerian boyfriend David Adefeso believes the R&B singer is “the one.” Tamar recently shared an image on Instagram that showed her playing in her hair. The “Braxton Family Values” reality star added an orange heart emoji to the photo and wrote a heartfelt message to someone special in the caption.

Tamar sported a face full of makeup and a black hoodie.”Somebody loves you baby ❤️✨,” she wrote to describe the photo. The Maryland native and David have been dating for nearly two years, so it’s not surprising that her boyfriend wrote a sweet message underneath her selfie.

He wrote: “I do, you fine young thang🔥🔥❤️❤️🥰🥰!! Your grace, your beauty, your strength and your passion complete me💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥! I love you with all my heart- always have and always will. I love you, you love me, together forever u fine young thang🙏🏽🔥🔥❤️❤️.”

Almost immediately, fans complimented the financial services businessman for expressing his love to his girlfriend. One user wrote, “@david.adefeso that was sweet ❤️ you fine fine Tay 🙌🏽,” followed by another that gushed: “@david.adefeso Black Love is soo beautiful ✊🏾🙏🏽 Wifeee her up Davidddd we need some babies 😂😂❤️.”

Tamar and David met at a mutual friend’s birthday party in 2018 and have been going strong ever since. As of late, Tamar has been in the news over accusations she had an affair with the father of super producer Jermaine Dupri. Singer K. Michelle, responding to a perceived insult issued by Tamar in a recent Interview, claimed the youngest Braxton sister had slept with Michael Mauldin, Jermaine’s father, and was beaten up by Michael’s former ex-wife as a result.

David jumped to Tamar’s defense on a new segment of his and Tamar’s “Quarantined & Coupled” YouTube series shortly after the explosive allegation emerged. David denied the allegations, explaining that he was heartbroken to see Tamar and the “V.S.O.P” singer feuding. “What makes me sad is Tamar now gotta defend herself against something which is false. Against something which was concocted. Against something which was made to defame her character. As her man, it broke my heart. If that came from someone across the aisle, I could understand, but that came from another good-looking, strong Black woman! We do not tear each other down!” he said.

The “Love and War” artist and David have yet to tie the knot, but Tamar revealed on the April 9 episode of “The Wendy Williams Show” that she would like to marry him sometime soon.

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.
