On Monday, Robinson revealed on social media that he and theBraxton Family Valuesstar, 46, are no longer together after getting engaged on the first season finale of the Peacock reality series, which aired in March.
“So many questions. So many assumptions. I want to answer all that I can with respect,” he wrote in a statement on his Instagram Story. “Yes, Tamar and I are no longer together. I ended the relationship to focus on getting back to positive energy & being a better person.”
The attorney refused to divulge details of the split, saying, “What happened and why - that’s our private place.”

“No. I never cheated. No. I wasn’t there when she was at her mother’s place when her car was burglarized,” he added, referring toan incident earlier this monthin which the singer claimed was robbed at home.
“No, I never cared about fame. Who reveals their most embarrassing moments in their life to find fame. The truth is I was in an amazing place financially and mentally. I turned downQueens [Court]several times before I gave in. Ultimately, I fell in love and it did not end how I wanted it.”
A source later told PEOPLE that the split was Braxton’s decision. “There’s been a lot of drama, but the hope is that the nail isn’t all the way in the coffin for them. She needs time,” the source said. “The ball is in her court. She’s in a good mental state and has a great village around her and supporting her through this.”
Braxton’s rep did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment.
