Their private wedding took place just eight months after the Braxton Family Values alum who shares kids Denim Cole Braxton-Lewis, 23, and Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis, 22, with ex-husband Keri Lewis emphasized that she and the rapper were just friends.
"My dear friend @birdman and I are not married…never been married," she wrote on Instagram in December 2023. "We are both single."
Her caption accompanied a screenshot that proclaimed she and Birdman "married in a private ceremony in Mexico," but she added the text "#FAKENEWS" onto the photo.
Absolutely! Birdman had proposed to Toni Braxton back in 2018, but they didn't proceed to marriage at that time. Despite this, Birdman expressed his unwavering love and commitment during his appearance on the Wendy Williams Show in 2019, emphasizing that their relationship was still solid. He also shared his admiration for Toni and her family, highlighting the strong bond they had developed over the years. Their journey has been filled with ups and downs, but their connection seems to have endured through it all.
The couple, who had been friends for over 15 years, began dating in 2016 following his major support amid her battle with lupus. "In 2016, I was doing a little tour, just testing the market [to see] how far my endurance could go, and I got ill just before we went out," Braxton shared in 2019. "Every day I had a show, he came. Every night, he would ask me, 'Are you okay? Are you good?' I said, 'Oh my God, he's such a great guy!'"
That's such a sweet and candid moment! It seems Birdman had been harboring feelings for Toni Braxton for quite some time but respected her previous marriage. When he finally expressed his emotions, it must have been a touching revelation for her. Their journey from long-time friends to romantic partners certainly has its share of heartfelt moments. She recalled, "He told me he always liked me, and I was like, 'You never told me!' And he's like, 'Well, you were married!' He said, 'I was always digging you.'"
