Nicole Murphy is mourning the loss of her boyfriend, Warren Braithwaite, who died from cancer recently.
Nicole, 56, has not addressed the reports, according to Atlanta Black Star.
Warren was Nicole’s plus-one at her son Myles Murphy’s wedding in September 2023, according to Essence.com.
The couple also attended the 2024 Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada in February.
Nicole and Warren are pictured with R&B singer/podcaster Tank at the Doo-Wop All R&B Soul Music Day Party at Sahara Las Vegas on February 10.
News of his untimely death began circulating on Saturday, March 2, after Warren’s friends shared tributes to him on Instagram.
One person wrote: “Lost a good friend, a brother, a childhood friend today. We gonna celebrate ur life way over the top cause that’s who u where!!! Rest easy!! aka trees aka 50grand aka wild oats love u bro f—k cancer!!!!! @nikimurphy stay strong sis.”
Another friend said Warren gave him $30,000, and took him to dinner and shopping after he came home from jail. “If I could have saved ur life 1 more time king,” he wrote.
Nicole has since disabled the comment section on her Instagram page.
One photo on her IG page shows them slow dancing at a Christmas party in December 2023.
She captioned the image: “We both are not perfect, but we are perfect for each other my love. [red heart emoji].”
She added the hashtags: #truelove #blacklove #wearehappy #mylove #heart #beautiful #myman #hiswoman #love #mypeaceandlove #bliss.
In a video, Nicole is seen dancing seductively and grinding on Warren.
She wrote in the caption: “My baby & I were getting it in. Now of course we have typical @dariusjackson_ messing up our pic lol!”
