Robert Smith
In 2001, Brandy started dating producer Robert “Big Bert Smith.” They kept their relationship out of the spotlight until 2002, when the singer became pregnant. They welcomed daughter Sy’rai, and on their reality show, Brandy: Special Delivery shared the pregnancy and their relationship, which they were framing as a marriage. A year after Sy’rai was born, they called it quits, and years later, Smith would reveal that they were never legally married. They told that tale in the hopes of keeping her public image pristine.
