Toni Braxton’s Secret Wedding and Swift Divorce with Birdman Revealed
R&B icon Toni Braxton experienced a tumultuous romantic journey last year, the details of which are only now coming to light. Reports indicate the 57-year-old singer and rapper Birdman, her longtime partner, allegedly exchanged vows in a clandestine wedding ceremony on August 8th.
Sudden Separation and Divorce Filing
In a surprising turn of events, a mere two days after the purported nuptials, the couple reportedly separated. Braxton proceeded to file for divorce just two weeks later. Court documents, uncovered by TMZ this week, cite the marriage as ‘irretrievably broken’ in the divorce petition filed by her attorney.
Divorce Petition Dismissed, Marital Status Uncertain
Adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding saga, the “Un-Break My Heart” vocalist reportedly dismissed the divorce proceedings in January 2025. As it stands, both musical artists remain legally married. However, the current status of their romantic relationship remains unclear.
Ongoing Relationship Status in Question
A noticeable absence of Birdman from Toni Braxton‘s Instagram account offers a potential indication that the pair may no longer be romantically involved. This social media silence fuels speculation about the true nature of their connection.
Relationship Timeline: From Engagement to Uncertainty
The relationship between Braxton and Birdman began in 2016, marked by periods of both closeness and distance over two years. They announced their engagement in February 2018, only to call it off in 2019. Earlier last year, Braxton denied rumors of a secret marriage.

Toni Braxton‘s Health Scare: Widowmaker Heart Attack
In a separate account from last year, it was revealed that Braxton suffered a significant health scare, experiencing a near-fatal heart attack and requiring a stent. This major health event occurred two years after the passing of her sister Traci from oesophageal cancer in 2022. Braxton initially hesitated to share her health ordeal with her family to avoid causing them worry.
Family’s Concern and Braxton’s Reluctance to Share
On “The Braxtons” series premiere, her sister Trina recounted the family’s apprehension upon learning Toni had something important to disclose. Trina noted Toni‘s typically private nature, especially regarding her health. Toni herself admitted her reluctance to discuss the health scare with her sisters, particularly given the recent family loss of Traci.
Doctors Warned of Possible Death
Braxton revealed that she had suffered a widowmaker heart attack, a critical event where a major artery is blocked. Doctors informed her that had they not intervened promptly, she would not have survived. She shared the dire prognosis: “If I had a heart attack I wouldn’t have survived, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
Emotional Impact and Ongoing Anxiety
Visibly emotional, Braxton recounted doctors saying her sister Traci was watching over her, emphasizing the severity of the situation. In a confessional, she described the “extremely scary” experience of having a stent implanted. Furthermore, doctors cautioned her about potentially never touring again due to the risk of another heart attack. Since the incident, Braxton lives with daily anxiety, constantly fearing another heart attack. “It’s crazy anxiety. I just think about it all the time… It’s really messed up that I’m scared every day,” she confessed.
