Keri Lewis Wiki: Singer, Net Worth & Facts About Toni Braxton's Ex Husband

Most of the adults living today grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s when music was not just music. Those were the days that stars like Toni Braxton made songs that conquered the radio waves. Braxton wasn’t the only artist who had so much success back then because there was also her ex-husband Keri Lewis, a successful singer performing with his band, Mint Condition. Every once in a while there is some news about Toni Braxton that might surprise her fans and this time the news was that Braxton was engaged to the CEO of 'Cash Money,' Birdman. This has led people to questioning how Keri Lewis has been since he finalized his divorce with the singer. Lewis has been on low profile these days and has not even released any new music, at least not that we are aware of. 49-year-old Keri Lewis was born in Minnesota and was a student at Central high school in Saint Paul. Since he was a child, Lewis had a passion for music and even played the keyboard since his childhood. His big break when Lewis got a chance to join R&B band 'Mint Condition' in 1980. He was doing what he loved doing, both singing and playing the keyboard while performing with the band. The group first consisted of singers like Stokley Williams on lead vocals, Homer Larry Waddell, their keyboard player, Homer O’Dell, Roger Lynch, Ray Coleman and Kenny Young. However, Coleman and Lynch left the group and were later replaced by their schoolmates Jeffrey Allen who plays the saxophone and Keri Lewis himself who is talented in playing the keyboard and synthesizer. Another person who joined the band later on was Ricky Kinchen, a Chicago native who plays bass. After a while, the band broke up for unknown reasons and 'Mint Condition' was no more. The reason why they split is still unknown but it's most likely they were all facing personal problems. 'Mint Condition' is known for songs like 'Breakin’ My Heart,' 'Forever in Your Eyes,' and 'Are You Free.' After the band called it quits, Keri Lewis went solo and began his career on his own. He went ahead to work with numerous artists including his ex-wife Toni Braxton. Lewis currently composes, co-wrote and produced songs for celebrated artists. Toni Braxton’s ex- husband also worked on his first album 'Love' months after he left Mint Condition but it didn’t have massive airplay like 'Breakin’ My Heart,' 'Forever in Your Eyes,' and 'Are You Free.' However, his two songs, 'You Love Me' and 'End Me Nothing' got some attention.

Toni Braxton met her ex-husband and the father of her sons, Keri Lewis when 'Mint Condition' opened for her on a tour. Afterward, Braxton started spending more time with Lewis and it wasn't long before the singer and the musician began dating. They felt like they could make a family that woke up to the keyboard and mic so they married and started a family of their own. What made their relationship look more deserving was the fact that the pair shared the same taste in the music. Lewis was an R&B music creator while Toni Braxton was an R&B singer. The two married in April 2001, tying the knot in Atlanta among the attendants Usher, Monica, and the group TLC. After close to 10 years of marriage and with kids of their own, the couple announced that they were going their separate ways.

The worst thing was that her ex husband, Keri Lewis, wasn’t being supportive. Braxton’s problems got worse in 2010 when she filed for bankruptcy. She was also diagnosed with lupus. The cause of her bankruptcy was her lavish lifestyle that Lewis never helped to pay for. At the time, Toni was starring in the WEtv reality show, 'Braxton Family Values,' her family’s show which her ex husband, Keri Lewis was also a part of. In the same year, Braxton had announced that she was retiring from music during her 'Good Morning America' interview. She told the host that her love for Lewis was no more and wasn’t affecting her like it did when she was performing. She added that she wasn’t sure what was happening to her and thought it was probably a mid-life crisis.

There are many other couples that divorce for reasons only known to them, however, marriages are meant to last forever and parents are supposed to raise kids in one home and see them grow up to start their own lives. Some couples, like Braxton and Lewis, forget that they vowed until death do them part. Keri Lewis and Toni Braxton lived separately for over four years before their divorce was official. Despite the fact that the couple divorced, they have set an example for people who go through a divorce with young children in tow.

The lawsuit was meant to obtain an order to collect child support from Lewis. The documents revealed that she was to receive $2,000 every month from Lewis to support their boys. However, the following yea, Braxton filled documents in the case as well and dismissed the lawsuit voluntarily. That meant that she had settled her matters with Lewis out of court and the case was closed that same day. Opening up about the case, Braxton revealed that she did that so that Lewis would support his children but after he saw the lawsuit, he preferred not to be dragged into a court case again yet again. He had already been a lot through when they were processing the divorce and he didn't think he could handle much more. Braxton also took the time to speak about her New Zealand tour that was starting back then as well. She also talked about the tour as well and apologized to the New Zealand people for waiting so long to see her show. She also promised that it would be a great show and worth the wait.
