Trina Braxton is mourning the loss of her husband, Von Scales, who died at 58, the family confirmed. The announcement, made via a family representative, said relatives are asking for privacy as they grieve after his unexpected passing.
Family confirms death, details remain limited
A spokesperson for the Braxton family informed media outlets that Von Scales passed away early Thursday in Atlanta. The statement did not specify an official cause of death, but people close to the family told reporters Scales had been managing heart-related health issues.
The family’s message emphasized that they appreciate condolences and prayers but are requesting space to process the loss. No public services or further arrangements have been announced.
A partnership largely lived away from reality TV cameras
Scales and Trina Braxton married in 2019. Their wedding was shown on the family’s reality series, yet the couple deliberately kept much of their private life out of the show’s recurring storylines.
Beyond television appearances, the couple shared a public interest in cooking and co-hosted a web-based cooking program that attracted a following among Braxton’s fans.

Trina Braxton on protecting relationships in the public eye
In interviews after marrying Scales, Trina described taking a more guarded approach to her personal life than she had in past relationships. She explained that, after years in the public eye with the Braxton family, she was intentional about setting boundaries and limiting what she shared publicly to reduce outside pressures on her marriage.
She has previously credited the couple’s mutual maturity and shared life experience with helping sustain their relationship, noting that both partners brought prior family responsibilities and a clearer sense of priorities into the marriage.
What this means for fans and cultural conversation
Trina Braxton is a familiar figure to reality-TV viewers and R&B audiences; news of her husband’s death will likely prompt tributes from fans and colleagues. For now, the family’s request for privacy means public appearances and updates are likely to be limited as they make private arrangements and seek time to grieve.
Media outlets will await an official cause of death and any announcements about memorial plans. Until then, confirmed details are those shared by the family and by sources close to them.
