In a surprising turn of events, Toni Braxton and Bryan “Birdman” Williams were reportedly married last year—only for the singer to file for divorce just two days later.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the legendary Grammy-winning vocalist and the Cash Money Records mogul secretly tied the knot on August 8, 2024. However, Braxton, 57, quickly had second thoughts, filing for divorce just two weeks later. The paperwork reportedly lists the couple’s separation date as August 10, just 48 hours after saying “I do.”
The documents described the marriage as “irretrievably broken,” signaling a possible end before the union had even gone public. But in a dramatic twist, Braxton dismissed the divorce filing in January 2025, and Birdman signed off as well—indicating a renewed commitment between the two.
A Long Love Story with Many Turns
Braxton and Birdman first confirmed their relationship back in June 2016, sparking headlines as two music legends from very different genres found love. Rumors of an elopement swirled as early as 2017, though Braxton’s team denied those reports.
In 2018, the pair got officially engaged. Braxton even shared engagement photos with the caption:
“A couple min before we got engaged… Then 24hrs after.”
Their romance was also featured on Braxton Family Values, giving fans an intimate look at their dynamic. Birdman spoke candidly about his love for the R&B icon during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, calling Braxton “my love, my soldier, my life.”
Still, the couple’s journey has had its share of turbulence. After denying breakup rumors in early 2019, Braxton later confirmed the engagement was off, writing on social media:
“My dear friend @birdman and I are not married… never been married. We are both single.”
Despite the ups and downs, the two continued to date off and on—leading up to their secret 2024 wedding.
Where They Stand Now
As of April 2025, Toni Braxton and Birdman remain married, with both parties showing signs of reconciliation. While neither has commented publicly on their short-lived divorce filing, the legal dismissal suggests the couple has worked through their differences—at least for now.
Whether the duo will go public about their current relationship status remains to be seen, but fans are certainly watching closely. After all, if this love story has taught us anything—it’s full of unexpected chapters.
