Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss has announced her divorce from husband Todd Tucker after 11 years of marriage, confirming the split in a statement on November 21, 2025. The decision marks the end of a relationship that began on the reality show in 2011 and was formalized with a lavish wedding in 2014, signaling a major transition for the couple and their blended family.
Burruss revealed the news through a statement to People magazine, explaining that after deep thought and prayer, she chose to move forward with the divorce. She described it as a difficult and emotional time but emphasized her commitment to protecting her peace, being the best mother possible, and co-parenting with love and respect. The 49-year-old star also expressed gratitude for the support they have received over the years and outlined her focus on a new chapter centered on work, family, and personal growth.
The couple first met in 2011 while filming the fourth season of RHOA and married in April 2014 in a ceremony inspired by the film ‘Coming to America.’ Together, they share two children: son Ace, born in 2016, and daughter Blaze, born via surrogate in 2019. Burruss also has a daughter, Riley, from a previous relationship, and Tucker has a daughter, Kaela, from his past marriage, creating a blended family that was often featured on their Bravo spinoff series, Kandi & The Gang.
In the lead-up to the announcement, fans speculated about marital issues after Burruss removed ‘Tucker’ from her Instagram handle and Tucker was absent from her appearance at BravoCon 2025. At the event, where Burruss received the ‘Wifetime Achievement Award,’ she publicly thanked Tucker for enduring the challenges of reality TV, and he responded on social media by praising her as an inspiration and the ‘GOAT,’ indicating a supportive dynamic despite the separation.
The divorce appears amicable, with Burruss’s statement highlighting a mutual desire for privacy and grace during the transition. Tucker has not released a separate statement, but his social media interactions suggest a respectful approach focused on their shared history and children’s well-being. This aligns with Burruss’s emphasis on co-parenting and maintaining family harmony, underscoring their commitment to navigating the split with dignity.
The separation follows Burruss’s departure from RHOA in February 2024 after 14 seasons, which she attributed to a desire to pursue other projects, including ventures in music and hospitality. For Tucker, a television producer, the divorce represents a personal evolution, but both remain dedicated to their careers and individual development. The split may enable Burruss to invest more in her entrepreneurial endeavors while Tucker explores new opportunities in production.
As they move forward, effective co-parenting will be essential for the stability and happiness of their children. Burruss’s forward-looking attitude aims to model resilience and respect, and the entertainment community is likely to monitor their journeys closely. This divorce highlights the pressures of public life and the importance of personal well-being in high-profile relationships.
