<p><strong>Toni Braxton</strong> is setting the record straight following rumors that she had secretly tied the knot with <strong>Birdman</strong>.</p>
<p>As <strong>The Shade Room</strong> previously reported, the claim <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tamar-braxton-toni-married-birdman-mexico/#:~:text=A%20baseless%20rumor%20widely%20spreading,took%20the%20kids%20to%20Disneyland." target="_blank" rel="noopener">stemmed from a post on X</a> that had spread like wildfire on the social media platform.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Toni Braxton Didn&#8217;t Marry Birdman</h3>
<p>Allegations surfaced that Braxton flew out to Mexico to marry the music mogul, whom she first began dating in 2016.</p>
<p>But in a post shared to her Instagram on Sunday (December 31), the &#8216;He Wasn&#8217;t Man Enough&#8217; singer not only denied the rumor, she also made it known that she and Birdman were both single.</p>

<p>She shared a screenshot of a side-by-side photo of her and Birdman with a headline that read, &#8220;Congratulations! Toni Braxton &; Birdman Married In A Private Ceremony In Mexico.&#8221;</p>
<p>The hashtag #FakeNews was added right below. In the accompanying caption, the Grammy winner wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>“My dear friend @birdman and I are not married…never been married. We are both single.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Her sister, <strong>Tamar</strong>, who initially spoke on the rumor in an Instagram Live session on Saturday (December 30), took to the comment section under The Shade Room&#8217;s post to add her two cents.</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;My dear friend is wild,&#8221; she commented. &#8220;And ima mind my business and ride for my sister till the wheels fall of and then we walking or someone to drive us.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>One day before Toni made her statement, Tamar said she had no idea her sibling had tied the knot after seeing the headlines on X.</p>
<p>While on her way to Disneyland with her fiancé, <strong>Jeremy Robinson</strong>, and their kids, she went Live, telling her followers that she even had to call their mother, <strong>Evelyn</strong>, to verify the news.</p>
<p>“I can definitely tell she knows something, because I was like, ‘Why you can’t just give me a straight answer? I don’t know,” the singer said.</p>
<p>But she did express her happiness for the pair, despite her confusion about why her sister had decided to keep her wedding plans from her.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Toni Braxton And Birdman Dated In The Past</h3>
<p>Back in 2016, Toni and Birdman started dating after their almost two-decades-long friendship evolved into a full-blown relationship,</p>
<p>Toni, who had previously collaborated with Birdman on the 2002 song &#8216;Baby You Can Do It,&#8217; opened up about their romance in an episode of &#8216;Braxton Family Values,&#8217; where she gushed about the sentimental things he had done to show her just how much he loved her.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Luckily for me, he likes to do things to show that he cares about me, like sending flowers. I’m a flowers girl, what can I say?” she said, per Essence. “He’s an undercover gentleman and he makes me feel adored.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The R&;B icon announced her engagement to Birdman back in February 2017, just one year after they started dating, and released a song together, titled &#8216;Heart Away.&#8217;</p>
<p>Even though the couple had already put their wedding plans into full effect, Toni hinted at a break-up in a New Year&#8217;s Eve post she shared on Instagram that same year, per <a href="https://people.com/music/toni-braxton-birdman-end-engagement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>.</p>
<p>Her resolution for the new year was to start a new chapter, which “isn’t always an easy choice,&#8221; she said, &#8220;but ALWAYS choose to be chosen.&#8221;</p>
