From Black Enterprise:

Tamar Braxton and Vince Herbert have been at the top of media’s gossip chain since the first episode of WEtv’s Braxton Family Values aired April 12, 2011. With Tamar’s Igotplentyofmouth.com attitude and Vince’s laidback, go-with-the-flow persona, audiences were captivated by the couple’s ability to get through the good and the bad — at home and in business.

Now, three seasons later, the most popular Braxton on TV and her music executive husband have proven why they are the topic of everyone’s conversation. After swearing they would never have children, the Hollywood couple is expecting their first born — who according to Tamar will be their only born — and as Vince says, “It was all God; had nothing to do with us.”

While expecting her first child — the sex of the baby is still not officially confirmed — the 36-year-old songstress and reality star is now on her way to the top of her career as she recently released her first major single, “Love and War,” in December.

With a baby on the way, a budding singing career on the fast track and a top-notch husband who is responsible for some of the biggest names in music, BlackEnterprise.com sat down with the couple in Manhattan to find out just how crazy life in the Herbert house is these days with so much going on. Tamar had one thing to say, and Vince another.

So from babies to business, here’s part two with one half of TV’s hottest couple, Vince Herbert spilling it all. [Read part one here.]

What He Said…

BE: When did you decide you wanted to have a kid?

Vince: When we first met, that was one of the things that we loved about each other, and one of the things that attracted us. We were both like, Okay, we’re not gonna have kids. So it was all God. [It] had nothing to do with us.

BE: Did you guys ever have the talk, If we get pregnant, this is what we’re gonna do?

Vince: We never had the talk [room breaks out into laughter]. We knew that wasn’t something in our cards. We never planned on it.

BE: When you first found out you were pregnant did you think you wanted a boy or a girl?

Vince: It really didn’t matter to me. I just wanted to have a healthy baby. I couldn’t believe it, and I still can’t believe it. As long as whatever it is comes out healthy and happy, I’m good.

BE: Now that you know you two are having baby No. 1, do you want more because you know Tamar comes from such a big family?

Vince: Nope! I don’t want no more kids. I got the baby and I got Tamar, I’m good.
