Tamar Braxton broke down in tears Wednesday as she won Celebrity Big Brother and the $250,000 grand prize.
The 41-year-old singer faced former NFL star Ricky Williams, 41, who won both of the Head of Household challenges during the two-hour live finale on CBS.
Tamar, with daisies in her blonde wig, looked in complete disbelief, her chest beating noticeably, as the votes from the housemates all went her way – throwing her hand over her face when she got the fifth vote need to secure the win.
The winner: Tamar Braxton won season two of Celebrity Big Brother on Wednesday and the $250,000 grand prize
She then almost fell over as she ran out to the studio while gold confetti fired into the air.
After the contestants hugged her, Tamar's five-year-old son Logan Vincent Herbert rushed up and briefly knocked her down as she tried to pick him up.
'I love you so much,' she told him repeatedly, before getting more shock that the voting had been unanimous, the first time since Big Brother's season 10.
'I'm so grateful, thank you guys so much,' she sobbed. 'I feel so amazing. I feel grateful to God and thank my family. And thank you guys for just being my lifelong friends.
Second place: Former NFL running back Ricky Williams finished in second place
The moment: Tamar reacted as host Julie Chen revealed she had won the CBS reality show
Slight tumble: The singer lost her balance as she embraced her five-year-old son Logan Vincent Herbert after winning
'Now I get to buy my baby a house,' she said, still hugging Logan.
Ricky's wife Linnea Miron jumped into his arms as he walked out as the runner-up, getting $50,000.
Comedian Tom Green, 47, was then surprised with a check for $25,000 after being voted the viewers' favorite.

Tamar earlier insisted the show turned into a 'spiritual journey' for her – and joked about how she 'played this game to the best of my ability with a limited amount of lying – although I did a little bit.'
She then talked about getting 'the rug pulled from under' her in life, losing her job, husband, home and friends, adding: 'I even almost lost my life.'
'In the midst of all the turmoil and trouble I made a promise to myself, and that was to never give up on myself and to always be kind.
'And so I'm asking you all to be kind to this girl who is trying to get on her feet and just be the best person that I can be,' she told her housemates, raising a laugh when she said she was nervous because she's 'so shy.'
Spiritual journey: Tamar gave an impassioned speech lobbying for votes
Ricky seemed a clear favorite, being the most calculated player of the season.
'He's like an assassin,' insisted former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who returned to the show for the finale.
'If I ever needed to do a hit job or something he would be my guy. He's got a very soft personality but he knows how to play.'
Clear favorite: Ricky was the most calculated player during the season, but Tamar unanimously was voted the winner
Ricky proved it by easily winning the night's two HoH challenges, including the final one that gave him the power to choose his fellow finalists.
The live audience gasped when he announced that Olympian Lolo Jones, one of his closest allies in the house, would be leaving along with Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina.
Lolo could not hide her anger, complaining about how she 'saved him multiple times throughout the game' but predicting she would have won.
Challenge winner: The Heisman Trophy winner won both Head Of Household competitions during the live two-hour finale
'Ricky always said to play this game so that you have friends afterward – the move he just made I don't know if I would want to continue the friendship.,' she told host Julie Chen Moonves, 49.
'I looked out for him so many times throughout this game ... I'm at a loss for words,' Lolo said.
She finally smiled when she correctly predicted he would come second.
Not happy: Lolo Jones was steamed after Ricky eliminated her from the show
'I mean 50,000 when he gets second after he gets taxes and his agent's fee – it's really not much,' she said.
Earlier, Lolo called the possibility of coming so close yet still losing the 'story of my life.'
'This close to an Olympic medal three times and then still lose,' she complained.
She was seated after leaving the Big Brother House next to Dina, 56, who raised a laugh when asked if she was also upset, admitting simply: 'No.'
Not upset: Dina Lohan who also was evicted by Ricky wasn't upset about it afterward
Ricky remained calm throughout but seemed aware that he had alienated too many players.
'I'm looking at all you guys and thinking of things I said to probably p*** each one of you off,' he said as he addressed them before voting.
'So I apologize for that.'
Together again: Jonathan Bennett, Ryan Lochte, Joey Lawrence, Kato Kaelin, Natalie Eva Marie, Tom, Kandi, Dina, Lolo and Anthony Scaramucci voted on who should win after being evicted
Saying he 'played the game hard,' he insisted: 'I've tried to honor and be myself – my broody, quirky, moody, nerdy self.
'I think it's a great time to celebrate being real and that it actually means something,' he added.
Ricky – the only male in the final five – started strong by winning the first HoH competition to complete a magnetic puzzle in 20 seconds.
After his win, Ricky chose both Dina and Kandi Burruss– the only two not in his alliance – to face eviction, saying simply: 'Everyone knew the deal.'
Hot seat: Kandi Burruss and Dina earlier were both nominated for eviction by Ricky
He later made a risque joke about picking on his non-roommates, saying he nominated them 'basically because they don't sleep with me.'
Dina was excited as she assumed her selection meant she was deemed a 'threat.'
'You have to get rid of the best players so I'm kind of happy he thinks we are,' she said.
Game threat: Dina after being put on the chopping block said it meant she was considered as a 'threat'
Ricky then sided with Tamar, telling her she would be his final two pick, with the Braxton Family Values star telling him the timing was 'God speaking.'
'I want to give myself every possible option to get to the end of this game. So if Kandi or Dina take themselves off the block – bye Lolo,' she said at the time.
For the power of veto, the final five played Veto Heist, guessing clues to pick out artifacts from the season and dodging alarmed lasers to 'steal' them.

'I am trying to do this faster than an ex-football player and an Olympian,' Kandi complained of the odds.
Her prediction proved right, with Ricky coming second behind Lolo who was almost twice as fast as him, with the athlete joking: 'I mean I should. I broke into my exes' houses a lot of times.'
It secured her spot in the final four – and also saved her from the secret sneak attack Ricky planned against her, albeit temporarily.
Alliance tester: Lolo won the competition but declined to use her power of veto and remained loyal to her alliance
Instead, she turned to him for tactical advice – but ultimately remained loyal to her alliance and did not use the veto.
However, they were still split, with Lolo voting to evict Kandi and Tamar wanting to get rid of Dina, giving Ricky the deciding vote, evicting Kandi.
On her way out she got a big hug from Tamar, who had been her nemesis for 20 years before they bonded on the show.
Headed out: Kandi after being evicted hugged Tamar as they ended a longtime feud
'This was life changing for the both of us. I'm glad one of us made it,' Kandi later told her before voting.
'They felt like I was a stronger player than Dina,' Kandi insisted after leaving, saying she was 'not gonna hold any grudges' and amazed she lasted so long.
'I made some great friends and I plan to stay in touch with everybody,' she said, saying of Tamar, 'We needed this, we really did.'
No grudges: The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star said she didn't hold any grudges and was happy that she was on solid terms with Tamar
The final HoH competition had them as judges in a made-up show called Celebrity Lookalike Junior, having to guess fake claims made by kids made to look like the contestants.
Ricky and Tamar tied with six correct guesses – while Dina had a disastrous game, getting just one right.
The tiebreaker was won by Ricky, giving him the most powerful HoH of the season to pick Tamar as his fellow finalist.

True or false: The remaining four contestants had to pick which of three statements was false
She told him: 'Hey brother. You're probably one of my favorite people in the house and probably one of the best conversations I've ever had in my adult life. I wanna see you do good and wish you the best of luck.'
The finale also saw the return of Anthony Scaramucci, 55, the former White House Director of Communications who was a fake contestant for just six days,
'I was trying to compete and I was also wary that I was going to create a bad karma situation,' he said of his time there, saying he didn't want to set-up fellow contestants 'wrongly.'
He's back: Anthony Scaramucci returned after being a fake contestant for just six days
'I was playing as hard as I could play.'
He 'totally' feared being exposed, saying: 'I have a tendency to wear everything on my sleeve and I was dying to tell Jonathan, 'Listen, I'm about to do a mic drop in about five days. I love you to death, it's gonna be good but I don't want you to get too close to me.'
'I was dying to tell him.'
Played hard: The former White House Director of Communications said he played the game hard while being careful not to set-up fellow contestants 'wrongly'
Even before knowing she would win, he praised Tamar – and said they would go together to a restaurant 'and blow up the Internet.'
'I think she's terrific,' he said. 'She is so out there and so much fun to watch. I hit it off with her right away.'
As for being in the house, he joked: 'This is the only area in my whole life where I could sleep with Dina Lohan in the same bedroom and not get in trouble with my wife. It was extraordinary.'
When Julie Chen warned he was not escaping a question about his former boss, president Donald Trump, the Mooch quipped: 'I don't do his hair and makeup, I just thought I'd throw that out there.
But first: Julie told Anthony that he wasn't escaping a question about his former boss President Donald Trump
'Omarosa doesn't either, obviously,' he added, of last season's contestant and fellow former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.
Asked if he thought Trump would 'survive' his presidency, The Mooch insisted: 'I think he's got a very good opportunity for the potential to get re-elected if the economy continues to do well.
'Listen, the president – and I've said this publicly, I've said it to him – he puts a six to seven percent headwind in his face as a result of some of the things he does on Twitter and the way he communicates. But he's a good guy, I like him a great deal and I like to see him succeed.
Good guy: The Mooch said that Trump was a 'good guy' and he wants him to succeed
'If you don't like the president I would say to you, ''He's our president and so let's work together. We've all got to keep this thing together as Americans. Yeah, I think he'll win reelection absolutely,' Anthony said.
Julie announced at the end of the two-hour live finale that she will be back to host Big Brother later this year.
She's been married since 2004 to Les Moonves, 69, the former CEO and chairman of CBS Corporation who stepped down in September amid numerous allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.

Tamar, with daisies in her blonde...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
