IN AND OUT OF LOVE?

While some are discussing Toni Braxton's haircut and complexion we are wondering about the diva's love life.

Is Toni still engaged to Birdman? Toni started dating longtime-friend rapper Birdman in May 2016, and in February 2018, they announced their engagement.

However, rumors quickly spread that the engagement was off and that Toni had lost the engagement ring.

Toni has finally laid all rumors to rest and confirmed that her relationship with Birdman is solid, going strong. Wedding bells, anyone?
