Don’t be afraid to let people know how you’re feeling and don’t feel guilty if you need to rest.”
Her energy levels have also impacted her work schedule with her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, which she co-hosts with “Real Housewives of Orange County” cast member, Tamra Judge. “I am taking it week by week right now with how I am feeling,” she said. “Y’all know I love doing it, but I have to listen to my body.”

Tamar Braxton’s marriage to Vince Herbert has been a subject of public scrutiny for years. Many people have speculated that Tamar married Vince for his money, but as the couple’s story unfolds, it’s clear that their relationship was more complex than that. While their marriage did have its challenges, it’s important to separate fact from speculation.
One thing that stands out is the way Vince Herbert himself explained their relationship. He once stated that Tamar had her own money before meeting him. Contrary to what some believe,
This small but telling detail dispels the notion that their marriage was purely about financial gain. What makes their story even more significant is the fact that Vince never made Tamar sign a prenuptial agreement
. This speaks volumes about his trust in their relationship and his belief in their commitment to each other. Tamar, having the option to walk away from the marriage with everything in the divorce, chose instead to leave with nothing, a gesture that showed her love for Vince was genuine. Her choice to leave everything behind is a powerful reminder that sometimes love is about what you give, not what you take.
However, things didn’t remain perfect, and their marriage eventually began to suffer. As with many relationships, the challenges arose when they began mixing business with marriage. Vince, a well-known music executive, and Tamar, a rising star in her own right, were both heavily invested in their careers. Unfortunately, this blend of business and personal life put a strain on their relationship, and they found themselves struggling to maintain a balance.
It’s no secret that the pressures of the entertainment industry can create stress on even the strongest of relationships. Tamar and Vince’s story was no different, and their journey together is a testament to the complexities that come with fame, business, and personal lives intertwined. The constant media attention and the expectations placed on them added layers of difficulty to an already challenging relationship.
While their marriage ended in divorce, it’s important to recognize that their love for each other was real, even when things started to fall apart. The public’s view of Tamar and Vince’s relationship may have been clouded by rumors, but the truth remains that their bond began with love, and it ended because of the strains that come with mixing love and business.
Despite their differences and the ultimate breakdown of their marriage, Tamar and Vince’s story is a reminder that love is never as simple as it seems from the outside. There were real emotions, real challenges, and real sacrifices made. For Tamar, the lesson learned was that love and career need balance, and sometimes, walking away is the hardest, yet most necessary, decision.
