Kandi Burruss Gets ‘Very Honest’ About Her Shocking Divorce

Kandi Burruss is not a superhuman when it comes to navigating her divorce.

The former reality star’s divorce from her husband of over a decade shook the internet, but the aftermath has also had the TV star floating through waves of emotions.

Kandi Burruss and her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed two kids together through the course of their marriage.

The media personality, in her interview today, Monday, admitted that it has been a tough time for her to get herself together amid the ongoing divorce process from Tucker. She revealed that her emotions have definitely been all over the place, with each day bringing completely different experiences.

Burruss continued that she also gets moments of sadness where she just likes to keep to herself and not share with millions of audiences as she did during her time on the “Real Housewives” franchise. As shared by Page Six, Burruss claimed:

“I really couldn’t keep moments to myself when I got upset, so y’all would catch me crying, but real life, my everyday life, I don’t really like for those moments to be shared with the world.”

Burruss was in a full-on confession mode in the interview as she revealed that her marriage had been shaken for a while, and she had been doing a great job covering up the cracks.

It certainly does not help that the singer has to deal with various narratives online about her failed marriage despite having zero idea about the truth.

Despite this development in her life, Burruss noted that the children are coping excellently, and they are on the same page about making the transition as seamless as possible.

She raved about their plans to have Thanksgiving together this week and maintain a very healthy energy for the sake of their two children. Most importantly, Burruss confirmed that she has zero regrets about her relationship with Tucker, which has now run its due course.

Absolutely no one could have known what was in store for the couple who put their best forward at the recently concluded BravoCon event, where Kandi clinched an award.

As noted by The Blast, the reality star was bestowed the “Wifetime Achievement Award,” where she included Tucker in the acceptance speech for the night. Burruss thanked him for maintaining composure through the rocky years of the tabloids and unending rumors about them.

“To Todd, thank you for surviving the blogs, the shade, the rumors, the lies, the truth, the almost fights, the actual fights, the reunions. You earned this award, too,” the songwriter declared on the stage.”

Todd, who was absent from the event, acknowledged his estranged wife’s speech on social media and added a cherry on top by calling her “the GOAT.”

Burruss surprisingly announced her split from Tucker on November 21, days after the BravoCon weekend, and she asked for “privacy, grace, and understanding” as her family settles into their new normal.

Tucker and Burruss met on the set of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” in 2011 and immediately struck a solid chord as friends and more. Two years later, Essence reported that Tucker got down on one knee as soon as 2013 began.

By 2014, the former reality star and the line producer tied the knot in a “Coming to America” themed marriage ceremony in Atlanta; a day Burruss called the wedding of her dreams.

They welcomed their first son in January 2016, three years after Tucker proposed and named him after Tucker’s late mother, Sharon Wells. The couple also became business partners at some point in their marriage when they opened a restaurant called “The Old Lady Gang” in 2017.

Kandi and Tucker’s marriage was not hidden from the cameras that trailed them around their home throughout the singer’s time on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

The mother of two has something to look forward to for the new year after a daunting last quarter of 2025. The Blast stated that she will make a grand return to the glorious stage of Broadway as Angélique from December 11, 2025, to March 8, 2026.

She had praised Max Martin’s writing prowess as one of the masterminds behind the production, which will be a celebration of his catalog. Burruss’s four-month stint on Broadway is not her first time as a theatre performer, as she worked on a musical in 2018.

The singer joined the cast of “Chicago” for an eight-week production where she played the role of Matron “Mama” Morton, which was previously played by her former co-star, NeNe Leakes.

She has also joined the team of producers earlier this year for the adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Othello,” which featured Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal.

The production earned about $3 million with just eight performances after it opened in March, making it the highest-grossing play in Broadway history.

Will Kandi Burruss and her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, keep the amicable divorce thing going?
