“I’m upset I’m still in the streets; I want to be a wife” — 48-year-old singer Tamar Braxton

Singer and television personality Tamar Braxton is once again making headlines after a candid interview where she addressed her views on love, relationships, and public perception.

In the conversation, Braxton challenged what she described as misleading narratives about her personal life.

“I am a wife. I am not no street walker,” she said, expressing frustration at how the media and public sometimes portray her.

“And I’m upset I’m still in the street. Like, what’s going on?” she added, using humour to critique the idea that she should always be publicly coupled.

When asked why she remains single, Braxton offered a witty and honest explanation.

“Because there’s not the right gas. Okay? I take premium, it’s giving very much regular unleaded,” she quipped, suggesting she is waiting for the right partner rather than settling.

On the type of man she is attracted to, Braxton kept her answer simple: “A good man.”

While she did not expand further, her comments reinforce a recurring theme in her public statements — that she values meaningful, high-quality relationships over casual attention.

Braxton has long been open about her personal life. In 2025, she spoke about her hiatus from dating and celibacy, explaining that she wanted to protect her son and wait for the right connection rather than pursue relationships casually.

Known for her chart-topping music, reality TV presence, and vibrant personality, the singer continues to captivate audiences with her blend of humour, boldness, and honesty.
