Tamar Braxton is engaged to her ‘Queens Court’ finalist: ‘Every thing I’ve ever prayed for’

“No. I never cheated. No. I wasn’t there when she was at her mother’s house when her car was broken into,” he added, referring to an incident earlier this month in which the singer claimed she was robbed at home.

“No, I never cared about fame. Who reveals their most embarrassing moments in life in order to achieve fame. The truth is that I was in an incredible place financially and mentally. I refused Queens [Court] several times before I gave in. I ended up falling in love and it didn’t end the way I wanted.”

He concluded his message by sharing that he hoped for “healing” after the split, adding, “Tamar and I will always be friends and family for life. Thank you for respecting our privacy.”

A source later told PEOPLE that the split was Braxton’s decision. “There was a lot of drama, but hopefully the nail isn’t all the way in the coffin for them. She needs time,” the source said. “The ball is in her court. She’s in good shape mentally and has a great village around her to support her through this.”

Braxton’s rep did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment.
