‘How Is an 8 Yr Old Going to Attack Me Like That’: Tamar Braxton Reveals That Her Son Logan Is Pressuring Her to Date Again

Weeks ago, Tamar Braxton denied she had reconciled with her ex David Adefeso after the businessman dedicated a special Mother’s Day post to the singer and members of his family.

Braxton and Adefeso began dating in 2018, and split two years later in 2020.

On May 30, Braxton’s romantic life became an online topic again after the 45-year-old revealed on Twitter that her son Logan Herbert, 8, suggested she start dating again.

In the tweet, Braxton explained that Logan even tried to get his mother to join the dating app called Tinder. She wrote, “My son woke me up harassing me asking me”don’t you think it’s time for a boyfriend!??”.. “you know you can at least download Tinder” how is an 8yr old going to attack me like that!!.. I’m going back to bed smh.”

As fans viewed her post, many pointed out that Logan’s advice seems to be coming from a place of love because he wants his mother to be happy.

“Awwwe … He is just the sweetest… He just wants to see his mom happy with someone … You deserve it and he knows that luv … Your king is out there waiting on you boo.”

“He just wants you to be happy. Children can sense their parents emotions better than you think. Hes only lookin out for your well being. Take heed.”

“It’s beautiful that he wants to see you happy. Just let him know that you are doing what’s best for you and him and that his happiness is at the top of the list right now. Wishing you the best!”

“Lol aww how cute looking out for his mama. Or unless you getting on his nerves and he trying to get rid of you.”

Before Braxton’s relationship with Adefeso, she was married to record executive Vincent Herbert, with whom she shares Logan. Braxton and Herbert were married from 2008 to 2017. The “Love and War” vocalist filed for divorce and the divorce was finalized in 2019.  

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
