Kandi Burruss Announces Her 11-Year Marriage Is OVER… She and Todd Tucker Are Officially Separated!
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are officially going their separate ways after more than a decade of marriage.
“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect,” Kandi tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.
“I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”
Kandi, 49, and Todd, 52, met during filming of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2011. They got engaged in January 2013 and tied the knot the following April. The pair share two kids — Ace, 9, and Blaze, 5 — along with Kandi’s daughter Riley, 23, and Todd’s daughter Kaela, 29, from previous relationships.
But fans had been speculating about trouble long before the announcement. Rumors started swirling at BravoCon, and social media detectives quickly began connecting the dots. Kandi’s followers noticed her Instagram profile had quietly dropped “Tucker,” reverting back to simply “Kandi Burruss.” While some wondered if she ever consistently used the hyphenated name, Bravo’s own website still lists her as “Burruss-Tucker,” adding more mystery to the mix.
Adding fuel to the fire, Todd was noticeably absent from BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas — even as Kandi received the Wifetime Achievement Award. Fans questioned why her husband of 11 years wouldn’t show up for such a major milestone.
Kandi’s acceptance speech also raised eyebrows. She told the crowd she “appreciates all the support, especially now,” leading viewers to believe something was happening behind the scenes. Fans also clocked that Kandi ditched her wedding ring throughout the three-day event. People also claimed Todd hasn’t been wearing his either.
And just weeks before the split, Kandi openly discussed their “bedroom life,” insisting threesomes had never caused issues in their marriage and that you can have a successful marriage while doing threesomes. In hindsight, fans now say the comment may have hinted at deeper problems.
