R&B icon Toni Braxton has quashed recent speculation about her marital status with rapper Birdman, clarifying on Instagram that they are not married and are both currently single.

Dismissing the rumors as "#FAKENEWS," Braxton shared a screenshot of an article declaring their alleged secret wedding in Mexico. The Grammy winner, 56, confirmed that she and the 54-year-old rapper are no longer romantically involved.

Despite the recent speculation, Braxton and Birdman, whose real name is Bryan Christopher Williams, had been friends and collaborators long before their romantic involvement. Their relationship evolved from their initial collaboration on Birdman's 2002 single "Baby Can You Do It."

It wasn't until 2016 that they transitioned from friends to partners, with Braxton finding solace and support in Birdman amid her ongoing battle with Lupus.

Their connection deepened, and by 2018, the R&B star confirmed their engagement on the reality show "Braxton Family Values." However, plans for marriage were abandoned by early 2019.

In November 2023, Braxton shared a now-deleted Instagram post featuring a kiss with Birdman, indicating a recent connection.

The duo's relationship has been marked by a unique journey from friendship to engagement, providing a glimpse into the intricacies of their personal lives.

Despite the recent clarification on their current single status, the details surrounding their separation and the future of their friendship remain undisclosed. Fans continue to speculate about the dynamics between these two music personalities who have shared a long and complex history both personally and professionally.
