Braxton, who started exhibiting her singing skills as a toddler, shot to fame by establishing her own R&B group with sisters Toni, Traci, Towanda and Trina. After dating for five years, she married songwriter-record producer Herbert in 2008. The couple announced pregnancy on ABC's Good Morning America (GMA) in March. The baby's arrival only two months after the pregnancy announcement is not a surprise, as during the announcement the songstress had mentioned that she is in her last stages of pregnancy, and a heavily pregnant Tamar flaunted her big baby bump when she arrived to present the BET Awards 2013 nominees, May 14.
