So it’s safe to say that many people didn’t really take rumors that Toni Braxton is seriously dating record executive Birdman. But now it looks like there might be some truth to speculation that the singer is getting extremely close with him.

The two were seen not only out together but holding hands as they walked through a busy crowd.

Another post reveals the two cuddled up for a snapshot together.


Interestingly enough, while they might be seen as an odd couple, Braxton’s mother, Miss Evelyn, is a fan of the two together.

“I hope so,” she said of the dating rumors. “I think he is a nice young man,” she told The Rickey Smiley Morning Show recently.

Toni’s sisters, Towanda and Trina agreed as Miss Evelyn continued.

“I don’t care what others say about him. He is a nice man. He’s full of respect…

She added that Toni and Birdman have known one another for 15 years.

“Ever since I’ve known that young man, he’s just phenomenal. So I hope so.”

But she made it clear she’s not interested in Birdman for herself.

‘I don’t dangle with my children’s friends,” she said.

Word is that a relationship between Toni and Birdman is nothing new. In fact, they are said to have been hooking up since 2009.

Toni seemed to go public with the relationship when she brought out Birdman during one of her concerts in Atlanta recently. She told the crowd to “respeck” him and they couldn’t help but cheer.
