The Braxton Family Values alum celebrates her 56th birthday after undergoing surgery in September 2022 to unblock a major artery in her heart as a result of her systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
“I kept putting it off thinking, ‘Oh, I’m fine. I’ll be fine.’ But my doctor was adamant and I went to get tested the last week of September. I did a specialized test and they looked at my heart and saw some abnormalities,” Braxton told PEOPLE of her condition in April.

She continued: “I found out I needed a coronary stent. My left main coronary artery was 80% blocked. Doctors told me I could have had a massive heart attack, I wouldn’t have survived.”
Of the “traumatic” health scare, Toni said: “I look at it like it was a blessing for me because now, postponing the tests? Oh no, I’m not going to postpone the tests.”
As for how she felt six months after the surgery, Braxton told PEOPLE at the time, “There are good days and bad days. I’ll be honest, sometimes the bad days get on my nerves. I’m not superwoman. I like to think I am. I like to feel like I am. that boss, b—- all the time, but I’m human too. When my body tells me to lay low and relax, I have to listen.”
“But I always try to be optimistic. The glass is always half full,” she added.
