After more than a decade together, reality TV star, award-winning producer, and entrepreneur Kandi Burruss has confirmed she is divorcing her husband Todd Tucker after 11 years of marriage. The news — announced just days after her Bravo Con Lifetime Achievement Award honor — has sent shockwaves through fans who have followed their journey since The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
A Split “Brewing for a While”
During a recent live stream, Burruss revealed that the decision to separate wasn’t sudden.
According to her, the relationship had been “brewing for a while,” and although from the outside they appeared unified, behind the scenes the couple had been navigating emotional distance for months.
Burruss described this chapter as “a difficult and emotional time,” emphasizing that she’s experiencing a mix of sadness and acceptance. “Some moments I’m okay, and other moments I’m not,” she admitted.
A High-Profile Love Story Comes to an End
Kandi and Todd met in 2011 while filming RHOA, where Tucker worked behind the scenes as a producer. Their chemistry developed quickly, leading to an engagement in 2013 and a star-studded wedding in 2014.
Over the years, the pair built a blended family and multiple businesses together — including restaurants, productions, and creative projects that grew their influence far beyond reality TV.
Their marriage has been followed closely on-air, with fans witnessing both genuine love and stressful moments.
Co-Parenting Will Be the Priority
Despite their separation, Burruss made it clear that her main focus is protecting the well-being of their children:
- Ace (9)
- Blaze (6)
The couple even came together to celebrate Blaze’s birthday the day after the divorce filing — a sign of their commitment to peaceful co-parenting. Burruss also expressed hopes for a Thanksgiving spent “with love and respect,” underscoring her desire to maintain stability for their family.
A New Chapter for Kandi Burruss
Burruss shared that she is stepping into a season of healing, peace, and personal growth. She asked for “privacy, grace, and understanding” as she navigates life post-separation.
Despite the heartbreak, Burruss remains focused on her career, her children, and the next stage of her evolution as an artist and businesswoman.
What’s Next?
Neither Burruss nor Tucker has shared detailed reasons behind the split, but sources close to the couple indicate the breakup is amicable with “no drama.” Fans speculate that busy schedules, business pressures, and the natural evolution of two very public careers may have contributed to the distance.
For now, Burruss is standing in her truth, choosing peace, and embracing what comes next.
