The post Babyface Admits He Was “Never In Love” With Ex Tracey Edmonds & How He Feels About Her Exes appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

The legendary producer/singer/songwriter, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, has written and produced over 26 number one R&B hits and won 11 Grammys throughout his career. Amazing feats no doubt. We’re willing to bet though, that there is no greater accomplishments and proud moments for Babyface, than his children. He has three: sons, Dylan and Brandon, with ex-wife Tracey Edmonds; and his youngest child, daughter, Peyton, with his current wife, Nicole.

His youngest son, Dylan, is the Edmonds kid who most reminds us of his daddy in several ways.

Although many Babyface fans probably never knew -or maybe forget- that his eldest son, Brandon, even exists, due to his low profile, we did get to see his youngest son, Dylan make a few appearances on reality TV. In case you caught a few episodes of Tracey’s and her man, Deion Sanders’ show, Deion’s Family Playbook, you probably remember seeing a much younger Dylan on there.

That Was Then…

This Is Now…

The thing that has now caught our attention is just how fast that young man has grown up. He was just a little kid on the show, but now he’s taller than his Pops. He’s just as introverted and laid-back as his hit-making father too. In addition to that, Dylan looks like Babyface pretty much spit him out, as you can see in the photos below…

In March 2022, Dylan turned 21 years old. And although most young people his age love turnin’ up on social media for their b-days, Dylan seems to have inherited his pop’s low key characteristics…and instead welcomed his 21st away from the public’s eye.

With the exception of their complexion difference, one glance at Dylan and you’d think you were looking at a young Babyface a few years before he made his introduction to the world in his ’80s R&B group, The Deele. Remember the Deele, with L.A. Reid and the rest of their members? They were the TRUTH back in the day, with songs like “Two Occasions” and “Shoot ‘Em Movies”…

And this…

But I digress…back to Dylan Edmonds though, he’s done a wonderful job at making all of us, here at ILoveOldSchoolMusic, feel old as hell. But it’s all good. Wishing that young brotha all the best with his future endeavors.

When most people think of celebrity weddings and relationships, they envision relatively easy-going relationships free of the difficulties normal people are faced with such as financial downfalls. But as it turns out, celebrity relationships are often more complex than most because of the finances, celebrity status, and other surprising issues most people would be able to find a median on. Although Tracey Edmonds’ marriage to Eddie Murphy seemed like a match made in heaven, unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. The marriage was almost over before it even started.

Wedding Details:

After only two weeks of marriage, the couple’s French Polynesian wedding in Bora Bora was one most people could only dream of. But, even with the breathtaking destination wedding, the two were still set to have a ceremony on United States soil to legally seal the deal on the marriage. However, that day never came. The marriage was literally over before it started. The couple released a jaw-dropping statement about their decision to part ways.

“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forgo having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further,” the statement reads. “While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship, and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.”

But was the statement nothing more than a form of damage control to conceal the truth? As expected, news outlets began digging for other reasons that may have led to the divorce shortly after the statement was released. There were reports about disputes over Tracey Edmonds changing her name. But Eddie’s longtime friend, Johnny Gill, shed light on a different reason for the split. According to SandraRose.com, Johnny revealed details about the alleged wedding disaster that occurred:

[Johnny] Gill was asked to comment on reports that Murphy’s mother Lillian got into a heated argument with Edmonds’ mom during the former couple’s “spiritual ceremony” near Bora Bora. Gill told Banks, “One of Tracey’s guests said some things that were inappropriate that triggered everything with the mom, and that’s how it all started.” via- Sandra Rose

Despite Johnny’s claim, Tracey Edmonds insists that wasn’t the case. In fact, she even contacted The Tom Joyner Show to refute the claims:

“I was very shocked and disappointed to hear of Johnny Gill’s false spin on the chain of events surrounding our wedding. His outrageous lies were clearly a very desperate and pathetic attempt to clean up his reputation at my expense. I would appreciate it if Mr. Gill would refrain from continuing to spread false gossip and lies to the public, and allow everyone involved to move on with their lies. We all know the real truth.”

Although Eddie and Tracey’s marriage didn’t last, the two have managed to move on with their lives and both have new love interests. Tracey Edmonds is now dating former NFL star Deion Sanders; and Eddie welcomed his tenth child, Max Murphy back in 2018 with his current partner, Paige Butcher.

It’s good that both Eddie and Tracey seemed to have dodged that apparent bullet.

“Our family never seems gets too old for this place!!! 😂 Celebrating Dylan’s 20th (yes… can you believe he’s 20 already?) Birthday today at Benihana’s!! Shoutout to Chef Chris at #benihanasatlanta!! He was the BEST EVER!! Sending out #WeekendLove!! ❤️”

Babyface sat down in an interview a while back, with Oprah and he revealed a whopper: that he was never in love with his wife of 13 years, Tracey Edmonds. He said he was with her because he loved her as a person, but that neither of them were ever in love with each other. Wow! That must of been ridiculously miserable for both of them.

If you’re a fan of Babyface, you probably recall when many folks were calling Tracey Edmonds a gold digger after Babyface met her in 1990 on the set of his “Whip Appeal” video. For some reason, people were throwing jabs at Tracey because they just couldn’t believe that she was with him for nothing more than being genuinely attracted to him emotionally and physically. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but she caught a lot of flack after marrying Edmonds two years later.

They soon became parents to their sons, Dylan and Brandon, and divorced in 2005. Babyface also held nothing back in this interview when he explained why he thought Tracey’s marriage to Eddie Murphy in 2008 (although the marriage dissolved soon after) was a bad idea and he also said what he REALLY thinks about Tracey’s current boyfriend, Deion Sanders. We know we’ve just said a mouthful, but you can see how Babyface explained all of this below.

Babyface on never having been in love with ex-wife, Tracey Edmonds:

“The reality is that there was a connection that wasn’t really there,” Babyface said during a sit-down interview with Oprah. “We loved each other but we weren’t really in love with each other. It was more the idea of it falling apart and me holding onto the image of what I thought we were. “I don’t feel like we were supposed to be together forever. I’m okay with it because I think she’s okay.”

On Tracey marrying Eddie Murphy:

“I didn’t think it was the best thing. I didn’t know Eddie so, I said to Tracey, ‘It’s your decision.’ It wasn’t for me to step in, but things happened the way they were supposed to happen.”

On Tracey dating Deion Sanders:

“Deion’s a good guy. Deion did one thing for me, which I thought was the classiest thing in the world. I’ve given her my opinion on certain things, I knew Deion seemed like a nice guy. When he called me and said he didn’t want to meet my children until he sat down with me, so he wanted to know me before he met my children, I was in. Tracey is family, so I wanna make sure she’s good.”

Wait ’til you see what else Babyface said about Tracey’s relationships with Eddie Murphy and Deion Sanders in the video above. I give this brotha nothing but respect for being able to do something that many men couldn’t- establish a pleasant and cordial relationship with their ex-wife’s current man.
