Rapper Trina introduced fans to Raymond Taylor as her boyfriend in the earlier seasons of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami. In the premiere episode of season 4, she spoke about her relationship with Raymond and said they had been "doing extremely well.

"He's there, he's my go-to kickback for any and everything I need and that's what makes me happy," Trina added.

The former couple got engaged in September 2021, and the proposal was captured on camera. Raymond accompanied the Love & Hip-Hop: Miami star to one of her shoots and popped the question when the schedule was over.

"Everybody I appreciate y'all coming out to this wonderful set today. We came, we saw, we conquered. Today is definitely going to be history. I just gotta ask you a question, will you spend the rest of your life with me?" Raymond said at the time."

The rapper was speechless but accepted his proposal. Later in a confessional, she said she didn't "even see him on one knee." Trina added that she couldn't recall whether she said yes at the time. She wondered when he had enough time to buy the ring without her knowing about it.

Much like their engagement, the end of their relationship was also featured on the show. The two broke up during Love & Hip-Hop: Miami season 5 episode 3. While Trina didn't exclusively state why she broke up with her then-fiancé, she told him she needed to do it for herself.

"I've done a lot of give and take and pushing, all that for everybody and after this loss, the rest of the sh*t doesn't matter to me for real. I'm just back in the Trina's bubble. I feel free I don't want to feel pressure, I don't want to feel attached and I'm over it," Trina said in the August 23, 2023 episode.
