According to court documents obtained by "TMZ" and confirmed through multiple sources, the R&B legend and Cash Money Records co-founder quietly tied the knot on Aug. 8, 2024. But just two days later, Braxton filed for divorce, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
The singer, 57, listed Aug. 10 as their date of separation in legal filings. However, in a surprising twist, she dismissed the divorce petition in January 2025, and Birdman (born Bryan Christopher Williams) signed off on the decision — meaning the two remain legally married.
Still, the couple’s current relationship status is unclear. Braxton has not been seen wearing a wedding ring in recent Instagram posts, and both she and Birdman have reportedly scrubbed photos of each other from their social media accounts.
The news contradicts a statement Braxton made in December 2023, when she publicly denied rumors of a secret wedding and insisted, “My dear friend @birdman and I are not married…never been married. We are both single.” She ended the message with a sharp “#FAKENEWS.”
The pair’s relationship has been marked by years of stops and starts. After decades of friendship, they began dating in May 2016. Birdman proposed in early 2018 with a $1 million diamond ring, but the couple called off the engagement in 2019 before reconciling shortly afterward.
Throughout their on-again, off-again relationship, both have spoken publicly about their bond.
In a 2017 episode of "Braxton Family Values," Braxton gushed, “He likes to do things to show that he cares about me, like sending flowers… He’s an undercover gentleman and he makes me feel adored.” A year later, Birdman echoed the sentiment on "The Wendy Williams Show," calling her “my love, my soldier, my everything.”
Most recently, in an April 2024 interview with People, Braxton described herself as single and “looking forward to getting out there and dating.”
If their 2024 nuptials hold, this would be Braxton’s second marriage. She was previously married to musician Keri Lewis from 2001 to 2013, with whom she shares two sons, Denim and Diezel. Birdman has never been married but has two adult children — Bryan Jr. and Bria — from a previous relationship.
As of today, neither Braxton nor Birdman has commented publicly on their status — leaving fans to wonder whether their love story is officially over or simply paused.
