Breaking: Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker Announce Divorce

On November 21, 2025, Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker released a joint statement confirming their decision to divorce after more than a decade of marriage. The statement emphasized mutual respect, co-parenting priorities, and gratitude for the years shared together. No third-party involvement has been cited, and both parties have requested privacy during this transition.

Official Statement and Timeline

• Married: April 4, 2014 (Coming to America-themed wedding televised on RHOA)
• Years together as a couple: 14 (2011–2025)
• Years married: 11
• Children together: 2 (Ace Wells Tucker, born 2016; Blaze Tucker, born 2019 via surrogate)

Impact on Their Two Young Children

The couple shares son Ace Wells Tucker (age 9) and daughter Blaze Tucker (age 6). Sources close to the family indicate that Burruss and Tucker are committed to an amicable co-parenting arrangement and have a detailed parenting plan in place.

Prenup and Financial Details

Burruss and Tucker signed a prenuptial agreement prior to their 2014 wedding. Legal experts familiar with Georgia family law note that the existence of a prenup is likely to streamline asset division, given the couple’s substantial combined net worth (estimated at $35–40 million).

How Kandi Burruss Met Husband Todd Tucker

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker first crossed paths in 2011 during the filming of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5. At the time, Tucker was working as a line producer for the Bravo franchise. Their on-set chemistry quickly became a central storyline, with Burruss introducing Tucker to viewers—and to her famously protective mother, Joyce “Mama Joyce” Jones.

From Set Romance to Engagement

The couple began dating in 2011 and became engaged in January 2013. Despite early skepticism from some cast members and ongoing tension with Mama Joyce, Burruss and Tucker proceeded with a lavish wedding on April 4, 2014, documented in the Bravo special The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi’s Wedding.

Kandi and Todd’s Family Life: Blended and Beautiful

The Tucker household was a modern blended family long before the marriage. Burruss is also mother to daughter Riley Burruss (born 2002) from a previous relationship, while Tucker is father to daughter Kaela Tucker (born 1996) from a prior relationship.

Ongoing Dynamics with Mama Joyce

One of the most memorable recurring storylines on RHOA involved Mama Joyce’s initial disapproval of Todd Tucker. Although the relationship eventually improved, occasional friction remained a topic of discussion among fans throughout the couple’s marriage.

Professional Power Couple: Joint Ventures and Career Highlights

• The Pass (2023 theatrical release)

• Ownership of the OLG (Old Lady Gang) restaurant chain in Atlanta

Tucker also served as an executive producer on several of Burruss’s Broadway ventures, including Chicago and the current revival of & Juliet.

Relationship Rules That Kept Them Strong (Until Now)

Throughout their marriage, Burruss frequently shared insights into their success as a couple:

• Regular “state of the union” check-ins
• Separate finances with joint household contributions
• Mutual respect for individual career pursuits
• Strong emphasis on date nights and intimacy

In a 2023 interview with People, Burruss credited these practices with helping the couple navigate the pressures of reality television and entrepreneurship.

What’s Next for Kandi Burruss Post-Split?
