Since their divorce, Burruss and Tucker are on good terms, and the former “Real Housewives” star spoke with the media about how she and Tucker have handled co-parenting.
“We co-parent well,” she said. “Whatever’s gonna make the kids happy. Like, they wanna ‘Oh, why can’t we all take a trip together?’ OK, you want us both on the trip? We gonna figure out how to do this co-parenting thing on a trip.

Burruss Is Still Rooting For ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’
While some details about Burruss’ divorce from Tucker leaked online, it remained largely private, as the Xscape singer departed the show a year earlier.
“It’s been 14 seasons, and they allowed us to sit around for a little too long, but during that time I had started working on a lot of other things, and I got some nice big projects coming soon, so I’m super excited about those things,” Burruss said, per The Blast.
But even though she’s left the show behind, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want it to do well. She said during a recent podcast interview that even while she’s off the show, she’s rooting for its continued success.
“I think it’s important to continue to support the franchise even though I’m not there because I was there for 14 seasons, and I want them to be successful,” she said. “I want ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ to continue on another 15 years.”
