In an appearance on the March 26 episode of Sherri, the 48-year-old "Love and War" singer opened up about getting back into the dating scene after a year of celibacy and previously claiming she wouldn't date until son Logan, 11, turns 18. Braxton, who shares her son with ex-husband Vincent Herbert, previously spoke about waiting until Logan becomes a legal adult to resume dating on a February episode of her Life, Love, & Beyond with Tamar & Taz podcast. "There’s no way I’m going to bring another man into his life to be unsuccessful. There’s no way," she said at the time.

"But here's the thing: I didn't want to keep introducing Logan to the people that were in my life. I just want to mentally protect him as much as I can. I don't want to give him any abandonment issues or anything like that," said the Grammy nominee, who's been linked to David Adefeso and ex-fiancé Jeremy "JR" Robinson since splitting from Herbert in 2017. "So for me, as a single mother, it's giving very much I just need to wait until the Lord brings me who the Lord wants me to be with," added Braxton.
