Toni Braxton recently set the record straight regarding rumors surrounding squabbles with her sisters and her love life. In a recent interview with Essence.com, Braxton, who has been absent from the promotional run for ‘Braxton Family Values,’ says she “loves her family,” insisting there is not beef.
“I’m a little disappointed about what’s on the blogs, and people thinking that I don’t want to help my sisters, or that I want to make them perpetual backup singers,” Braxton told Essence. “People have to remember that this is a reality show and some things are done for entertainment. I love my family, I’ll do anything for them. It makes me not want to do reality show anymore because I wouldn’t want anyone to look at my family and me in a negative light.”
As far as missing promotional dates for the new season Braxton adds: “Because I was sick. I don’t want to have to always tell people I’m sick because then they’ll relate it to Lupus. I had a terrible flu, but I still did ‘The Wendy Williams Show.’ After that I had to go to Russia. So that was the situation — I wasn’t feeling well.”
Braxton also touched on her relationship with ex-husband Keri Lewis, saying they went on a few dates but also says she’s been dating a snowflake.
“We’ve gone out on a few dates, I’m not gonna deny that,” Braxton says about her ex-husband. When you have kids with a person, and you really love a person, but you realize that being together is not an option right now… In the end, we definitely still love each other, and we go on dates. He’s a great dad, a great friend, very sexy, we’re doing good. It’s difficult to talk about it though.”
We’re sure Lewis isn’t too happy with his ex-wife dating other men and Braxton has made it clear that she’s been stepping out, insisting she’s been dating a “Caucasian guy.”
“I went on a few dates with a Caucasian guy, super nice, super cute, super sexy,” says Braxton. “We’ve just been on a few dates, he’s not my man, we’re not gonna get married. I’m just trying something different. He’s yummy. Who knew vanilla tasted so good? I would definitely date another Caucasian guy.”

Reflection On Family Dynamics
Family dynamics are often complex and can be a difficult subject to navigate. This is especially true when it comes to the Braxton family, where there have been many reported feuds between the siblings over the years. In an interview with Toni Braxton recently, she reflected on how her family relationships have changed since then.
Toni began by discussing how her mother influenced her opinion of men in general: “My mom was very particular about who I dated growing up”, she said. She elaborated that although Caucasian men were not forbidden, they weren’t encouraged either; ultimately she felt more comfortable dating African American men because of this experience. Despite this, she eventually did end up marrying Keri Lewis, a Caucasian man whom she had previously dated prior to their marriage.
When asked if any tension still existed between her and Keri now that they are divorced, Toni remarked that while things aren’t perfect, they communicate well and remain friends for the sake of their children. Furthermore, despite some previous issues within the Braxton family—which included an infamous lawsuit between her sisters Tamar and Towanda—she believes that all those matters have been resolved now. The singer concluded by saying that although everyone has grown apart over time due to work commitments or other reasons, at the end of the day they still love one another and will always be supportive of each other no matter what happens. With these thoughts in mind, it’s clear that Toni holds her family close to heart even after all these years.
Experiences With Interracial Relationships
Despite her mother’s influence, Toni has a different perspective when it comes to interracial relationships. When asked about this topic, she responded that dating someone of another race is something that should be celebrated rather than frowned upon. She also noted that there are many benefits to being in an interracial relationship, such as gaining knowledge and understanding from each other’s cultures and backgrounds.
Toni went on to talk about her own experiences with an interracial relationship: “I never felt limited or judged based on our racial differences while I was with Keri,” she said. “We were able to have honest conversations which taught me a lot.” Through these exchanges, they both learned more about themselves and the world around them; ultimately leading to increased empathy for one another.
At the same time though, Toni acknowledged that it can also be difficult for couples in interracial relationships since society often isn’t accepting of them yet. Despite facing challenges along their journey together, she believes that if two people truly love each other then nothing else really matters. With this outlook, it’s clear that Toni values open-mindedness and acceptance above all else—regardless of what others may think or say.
Conclusion
In conclusion, reflecting on my family dynamics has been a unique journey. It’s something that I’ve grown to appreciate even more as an adult, since it helped shape me into the person I am today. Experiencing interracial relationships was also eye-opening and showed me how love can transcend cultural differences. Although there have been some bumps along the way, being open-minded about life experiences has definitely enriched mine in ways I could never have imagined before. In the end, no matter who you are or what your background is, we all share one thing: our humanness. That’s something worth celebrating!
