Tamar Braxton is one busy woman. From reality shows to daytime talk, the singer/TV star is busy on her new gig as a co-host of FOX’s roundtable talk show ‘The Real,’ along with prepping for the release of her anticipated sophomore album ‘Love and War‘ due September 3. And, oh yea, don’t forget she just gave birth to her first child in June.
Today, the “Love and War” singer has chosen to officially show off her baby boy Logan Herbert. The bundle of joy is the first child for Braxton and husband Vincent Herbert.
“#Tamartians meet my #Logan (babymartian) today on @Gma @thereal and in @us magazine,” Tamar shared on Instagram along with the photo.
In an interview with “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, the “Braxton Family Values” star made a shocking announcement that she didn’t immediately fall in love with her son.
She wasn’t able to make an immediate connection with her baby. “I guess in a sense I did feel unattached because you know, I really, really wanted to connect with him because I wanted to breast-feed. And when he didn’t latch on and when I couldn’t produce milk I just felt like, ‘Is this the wrong child?’ You know what I mean? ‘Am I the wrong mother?’”
Instead of feeling a bond, she was experiencing other emotions. “You’re in shock,” she said. “It took me a few days to really come to terms with the fact that I am a mom and this is my baby.”
“I loved him,” said the always candid Tamar. “But I wasn’t like, ‘Oh, gosh, yes my baby, ooh.’ It wasn’t that. It was more like what do I do now, you know?”
She didn’t change diapers for the first week-and-a-half after Logan’s birth, so her husband, Vincent Herbert, took over the duties.
When her son started to breast feed, she finally felt the connection. “When he finally latched on I felt like he got me and I got him and this was all meant to be,” said Tamar.
But the new mom and baby are now inseparable. “I am very happy. I feel complete. … He is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
This fall she will hit the road in promotion of her album, as the supporting act for John Legend’s “Made To Love” tour. See tour dates here.
