Happy birthday, Tyrese!

We hope the R&B veteran is enjoying his “45-plus-1” birthday — well, that’s how he put it earlier today in a video he recently posted to Instagram (seen below). Giving a quick b’day life update to his 20 million followers, Tyrese couldn’t help but keep it honest about the feelings of isolation and separation that he’s faced on many levels within the past year alone.

It took us back to his recent visit here at “My First Time,” where he spoke candidly about all the firsts that’ve impacted his life by way of his recent divorce from Samantha Lee and their scathing child support battle. Although this isn’t your typical “MFT” tale, we felt like what the birthday boy had to get off his chest was well-worth the message that he wants Black men specifically to hear.
