The Origin Story

Towanda Chloe Braxton was born on September 18, 1973, in Severn, Maryland.
She comes from a big family.
Her parents are Michael Braxton Sr. and Evelyn Braxton—the latter of which also stars on Braxton Family Values.
Although Michael Sr. and Evelyn would go on to divorce, they’d have a whole bunch of kids first.
Future Grammy winner and covergirl Toni arrived first, coming into the world on October 7, 1967.
She would be followed with the family’s only son—Michael Conrad—in 1968, and then Traci Renee in 1971.
The family welcomed Towanda to the world in 1973, followed by Trina Evette in 1974, and Tamar Estine in 1977.
Tamar would later go on to marry (and divorce) Vincent Herbert—the man who discovered Lady Gaga, and who the superstar entertainer credits with her career success.
Growing up with five other siblings was chaotic, but fortunately, Towanda, Michael, Toni, Traci, Trina, and Tamar had a shared passion—music.
As the story goes, Tamar sang out for one of her siblings to get her some toilet paper.

They then took turns singing the “Toilet Paper Song” from the bathroom and learned to harmonize as a group that way.
They also sang together in their church choir and would go on to tour the entire East Coast of the US as a singing, entertaining family band.
The tours were so successful that in 1989, at just 16 years old, Towanda Braxton scored her first record deal.
Towanda attended Bowie State University as an adult and is a Zeta Phi Beta sorority alum.
Family Drama
The Braxton family hit a bad patch in 2020 when the baby of the family, Tamar, made an attempt to commit suicide in her Los Angeles hotel room.
She was found by her partner, and Towanda went out to see her not long after the incident.
In an interview, she confirmed seeing her sister after the event, “while we were in LA.”
She explained that she was trying to support her sister in the way she wanted to be supported, and that “better than yesterday” was the definition of a good day.
Towanda was the first to acknowledge that there had been moments in the past where her sister, Tamar, had been unhappy, but that the family had not anticipated things would go as far as they did.

Relationship Drama

By 2017, their divorce was finalized.
In an interview in early 2021, Braxton—who referred to her ex-husband as a “was-band”—claimed he had no contact with his kids and hadn’t seen his daughter in three years.
The pair share son Braxton, and daughter Brooke.
Braxton also claimed to have recorded her husband at the time, saying that if Towanda left him, he’d “be cordial with the kids.”
She stated that “these aren’t the things I’m making up.”
She shared the information in a televised interview, where her children could see it.
Her children may be struggling with an absentee father, but it was onwards and upwards for their mom.
Fiancé
Towanda Braxton announced to the paparazzi at LAX airport in 2021 that she was newly engaged to her boyfriend Sean Hall. He’s known as King Ladybug on Instagram. She hadn’t even told her family yet.
The paps broke the news to her mom and sister at the same airport a few days later.
Towanda and Sean—a music producer and friend—appeared on Braxton Family Values in 2020.
He has also appeared on her Instagram account multiple times.
