‘I Bet She’s Playing ‘Single Ladies’ In the Background’: LeToya Luckett Debuts New Hair Color After Announcing Her Divorce from Husband

Former Destiny Child band member LeToya Luckett is the epitome of “new year, new me.” After announcing two weeks into 2021 that she and husband Tommicus Walker are divorcing, Luckett shredded her marriage and previous look.

On Saturday, Jan. 16, Luckett, 39, uploaded a video of herself showing off her new ’do. The songstress had a short-cut blond bob that left fans swooning over her bold hairstyle.

“New look after a breakup is essential 😌.”

“I bet she’s playing ‘Single Ladies’ in the background.”

“Ok, Toya!!!!! Make him miss it, girl!!!! 👏🏾🥰🥰🥰.”

“That’s the new year, new me vibes.”

“One thing we gone do is slay our hair during heartbreak! I’m here for the new look, Toya boo 😍😍😍.”

“The divorce is finalized blonde 🔥🔥🔥.”

Luckett shared the news about her divorce via Instagram, writing, in part, “It is my deepest desire for us to be loving co-parents and keep a peaceful environment out of respect for our children.”

Underneath the post, fans expressed their support for Luckett.

Before Luckett’s official announcement, there were rumors that the two were separated because of Walker allegedly having an affair outside of their 4-year marriage. However, in an Instagram Story Walker claimed he never cheated on his wife.

Walker and Luckett wed in 2017, and their marriage was made public through the hit reality show “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle.” 

Luckett and Walker went through many trials as a newlywed couple, including Luckett being the stepmother to Walker’s daughter Madison. Fans warned Luckett to keep her relationship private due to the perils of sharing a marriage with the masses on reality television. 

But that was just the beginning of their marriage woes. In August 2020, a video circulated on social media of what fans assumed was Walker cheating on a pregnant Luckett with an Instagram model in Texas.

Although their turbulent marriage is coming to a sad end, there were some happy times. Luckett and Walker share two biological children, 2-year-old daughter Gianna, and their son Tysun, born last September — and following the cheating allegations against Walker. 

Luckett was previously married to author Rob Hill Sr., but the two split in 2016, a year before her marriage to Walker. 

Despite her marriages not working out, Luckett looks as though she is in high spirits, on the Internet at least. 

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.
