Five years after exiting The Real, Tamar Braxton is on the path to reconciling with her former co-hosts.
Earlier this month, the 44-year-old songstress came across an Instagram post of former co-hosts Adrienne Bailon Houghton and Tamera Mowry-Housley reuniting after a year apart due to the pandemic. Braxton left a comment on the post, which she credits with rekindling their relationship.
"For a while, Tamera and I relationship has been so strained, we even stopped following each other on social media and when I tell you it was really a moment that I captured of the two of them and it just really reminded me of old times," she told Entertainment Tonight.
"I just reacted out of what I saw and it really did help rekindle Tamera and my relationship," she continued. "I'm really so happy that I got a chance to talk to her and text with her and catch up with her, and I'm just so grateful that time heals all wounds."
While Braxton was able to mend her relationship with Mowry-Housley, there was no mention of hosts Loni Love or Jeannie Mai, though she seemed open to mending those relationships as well.
"I really hope to rekindle all my relationships..." she said. "But I think personally there's a lot of things that needs to be said, and a lot of hugs that needs to be had. And these are really old wounds that run really deep, because we really, truly loved each other... I don't know. You never know."
"At the end of the day, I am grateful to have rekindled my relationships with the ladies that I've already rekindled my relationships with, and who knows about the future?" she adds. "We just cross our fingers and be our better selves."
