Tamar Braxton is celebrating her birthday today (March 17), and it’s likely the best birthday she has had to date due to all the joyous things going on in her life!
Just hours after the youngest Braxton sister’s new dating series ‘Queens Court’ debuted on Peacock, it was revealed that she is now engaged to one of the finalists from the series.
It was confirmed that she is engaged to Jeremy “JR” Robinson, who she met on the Peacock dating show. During the season finale, Robinson proposed to the singer/reality star, and six months later, the couple remains together and is planning their wedding.
The news comes after Tamar her nasty breakup with Nigerian entrepreneur David Adefeso back in 2018. The two had a tumultuous relationship that played out in the media and on reality TV, which resulted in the accusing each other of abuse and Adefeso filed a restraining order against Braxton.
Now, Tamar says she is in love and she’s sure he’s the one! She chatted with PEOPLE on finding Mr. Right.
“I knew I was different than my siblings,” the singer, 45, told Robinson. “I prayed for somebody to understand me and not look at me and my flaws and just accept me for who I am. And then I met you. And then I saw every single that I ever prayed for as a child.”
Braxton went into Queens Court hoping to find love — but learned she actually needed something else.
“I thought that I just needed love. I didn’t,” the Celebrity Big Brother season 2 winner explained. “I needed a friend. And you’ve been that for me.”
Robinson wanted to continue being there for Braxton.
“I’m not only willing, I’m ready,” he said. “So much so that I don’t want to be your friend. I don’t want to be your friend. I want to be your husband.”
Robinson then dropped to one knee.
“Tamar, I’m here forever because I don’t see my life without you,” the attorney said. “I love you, Tamar. Tamar, will you marry me?”
Braxton asked Robinson if he was sure. “Absolutely sure,” he replied.
Through tears, Braxton nodded “yes.”
“Now you got to tell my son and my baby daddies,” said Braxton, who is mom to son Logan, 9, with ex-husband Vincent Herbert.
Robinson, who has five kids with four different with women, entered Queens Court in the first episode and he and Braxton bonded over losing loved ones. Braxton’s older sister Traci died in 2022 after battling cancer, and Robinson’s mother died from cancer. Robinson said he saw a hummingbird at his mother’s funeral, and according to Braxton, her sister said she would become a hummingbird when she died.
She also took to Instagram to gush about her new love.
