The North Carolina native—who has been linked to Alix since November 2023—added that he is remaining optimistic amid his setback.

"If you're lucky like me, adversity has become a close friend," Braxton’s statement continued. "It means you're chasing something not easily attainable and through all the failures and setbacks you've persevered. There's pain along the way, but what's on the other side makes it all worth it."
