Toni Braxton & Birdman’s Alleged Secret Marriage Fell Apart in 48 Hours

According to recently surfaced court documents, Braxton and Birdman officially became husband and wife on August 8, 2024. But by August 10, things had already gone south. The singer filed for divorce just two weeks later, calling the marriage “irretrievably broken.” The news left fans stunned, especially given how lowkey the couple had been in the months leading up to their secret nuptials.
What’s even more surprising is that Braxton ultimately had a change of heart. In January 2025, she dismissed the divorce filing, and Birdman signed off on the agreement, hinting that the couple may have reconciled—at least for now.

This isn’t the first time their relationship has taken unexpected turns. Braxton and Birdman have been romantically linked on and off since 2016, though their connection goes back much further. They originally met while working on music together in the early 2000s and maintained a close friendship for years. In fact, Braxton once referred to Birdman as her “bestie” of 15 years before they took things to a romantic level.
In 2018, they got engaged, and Braxton debuted her massive ring in the trailer for a new season of Braxton Family Values. But by early 2019, the engagement was off. The couple went quiet for a while, leading many to believe they had split for good.

Then, in late 2023, Braxton fueled even more speculation when she posted a now-deleted picture of her and Birdman kissing. That post came just one month before she denied they were back together—calling a fan’s Instagram rumor about a secret Mexican wedding “#FAKENEWS.” But behind the scenes, the two were clearly still connected.

Whatever the case, it’s clear that Braxton and Birdman share a deep bond that defies convention. Whether they’re in love, on a break, or somewhere in between, they keep the world watching—and wondering what’s next.
