‘We Don’t Know What the Lord Has for Me’: Tamar Braxton Responds to Rumors That She and Ex David are Back Together Years After Their Public Breakup

Tamar Braxton has opened up about being single within the past several months while sharing risqué posts

The singer’s most recent ex was businessman David Adefeso. The pair began dating in 2018, and ultimately split two years later in 2020, after an alleged domestic dispute took place in his car.

Since then, no additional information regarding the former couple’s current relationship status has been revealed; that was until May 11. In an Instagram live, Tamar, who was hanging out with her sister Trina Braxton, responded to reconciliation rumors during a Q&A session with fans. 

While answering the questions, Tamar greeted an Instagram user that was also named David at mark 5:19 of the talk. Following the interaction, her sister Trina quipped, “No more Davids for you.” Tamar quickly shot back, “We don’t know what the Lord has for me. I welcome whatever the Lord has.” 

Despite Tamar’s reaction, Trina continued to stand firm and reiterated her previous response. She said, “He don’t have any more Davids for you.” Tamar wrapped up the conversation by telling Trina that she doesn’t know what the future holds. 

Later in the live at mark 16:29, the “Love & War” vocalist revealed that she and David are not back together. She stated, “David is amazing, but we don’t go together.”

The event that fueled reconciliation rumors was David’s Mother’s Day post. In the upload, David featured a photo collage and separate captions for the women he deemed important in his life. The list included his mother, his sisters and Tamar. 

For Tamar’s caption, he wrote, “Thank you for teaching me how to love. And through all life’s challenges, growing together to become best friends.”

Tamar responded by saying, “Thank you @david.adefeso I’ve learned so much from you also… and I’m so grateful. God is so good.”

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.
