Nearly 25 years after Toni Braxton topped the charts with the R&B classic 'Un-Break My Heart', she is still breaking hearts on social media.
The seven-time Grammy Award-winner took to Instagram over the Memorial Day weekend to share a sizzling bikini selfie that has left fans refusing to believe her true age and insisting that she has the "fountain of youth" hidden at her home.
Sharing the post with her 3.3 million followers, the 52-year-old captioned the post: "MEMORIAL DAY weekend. Beaches are open & I’m beach body ready... but I’m too scared to go. It’s still COVID-19. Y’all stay safe!

One Instagram user with the handle @carameldreams commented: "So you just gone be 25 forever? Is that the plan?"

User @iamprincesstb simply commented: "50 where???", which was echoed by @audrey_franks_daughter43, who exclaimed: "50 WHERE??!!!!!!!!!!"
And the commenters certainly have a point, as here is a picture of Braxton performing back in 1997:
She doesn't seem to have aged a day!
But despite looking remarkable for her age, Braxton did recently open up to People about her eight-year battle with lupus. She explained to the publication how her husband has been her biggest support, saying:
"I can get on television when I'm having a terrible day and tell them it's a good day, and he'll say, 'No, it's now. I can tell.'
"I've always had issues dating because I was ashamed to have lupus and felt like no on would want to take care of a woman with lupus - I was insecure.
"With him, I can be comfortable with a little hate or skully on with some lipstick and mascara, but I can just let my hair down a little bit and that feels great."

Braxton added: "It's comforting to have someone tell you it's okay to be ill and that you don't have to be Wonder Woman at all times."
