In a heartfelt message shared across their Instagram accounts, television star and entrepreneur Kandi Burruss and filmmaker Todd Tucker confirmed they are ending their marriage after more than a decade together. The pair, who wed in 2014, described the decision as difficult but necessary.
A Joint Announcement After Recent Separation
According to reporting from multiple entertainment outlets, including People and Us Weekly, the couple reached the decision to separate only recently. Their joint statement emphasized mutual respect and a desire to keep their family’s well-being at the center of the transition.
“After much thought and consideration, we have decided to move forward with a divorce. This decision was not made lightly, and we both agree that it is the best path for us and our family… We thank you for your love and support and ask for privacy during this time,” the statement read.
Family Remains Their Priority
Burruss and Tucker share two young children – Ace, born in 2016, and Blaze, born in 2019. Both also have older daughters from previous relationships: Riley Burruss and Kaela Tucker. Sources close to the family say both parents intend to maintain a positive, cooperative dynamic for the sake of their children.
A Partnership in Life and Work
The couple’s relationship extended well beyond their private life. Burruss, known for her music career with Xscape and her long run on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, frequently collaborated with Tucker on television projects. Together, they produced several shows and even starred in spin-offs documenting their life, wedding, and creative ventures.
Burruss has continued expanding her entrepreneurial empire, including her restaurant group and lifestyle brands, while Tucker has maintained his career in television production.
Recent Events Suggest a Respectful Split
Although the divorce news may seem abrupt to fans, sources told Us Weekly that the two were recently seen sharing lighthearted moments at a family gathering. Those present described them as relaxed and friendly, reinforcing reports that the separation is free of conflict.
This comes nearly a year after Burruss announced her departure from The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2024, closing a major chapter in her reality-TV career.
Looking Ahead
All reports point to a calm and respectful separation. A source close to the couple noted that both remain “fully committed to being supportive co-parents.” Their request for privacy underscores their intention to handle the process quietly and keep the focus on their children.
As one of reality television’s most recognizable couples begins this new chapter apart, fans across the entertainment world continue to send messages of support and encouragement.
