**We’re NOT Surprised by Kandi Burruss & Todd Tucker’s Divorce Rumors**

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker may have looked like a power couple since their romance sparked in 2011, but for many fans, the cracks in their relationship have always been visible.

Despite building an empire and starting a family together, there were subtle signs that not everything was as perfect as it seemed behind the scenes. Now, with Kandi quietly dropping “Tucker” from her Instagram handle and rumors swirling about her not wearing her wedding ring, it looks like what many suspected all along is coming true—their marriage is hanging by a thread.

Their relationship began when Todd worked as a production manager on *The Real Housewives of Atlanta* and Kandi was a cast member. Their connection was initially casual, but Kandi wanted more, eventually encouraging Todd to quit his job so they could go public with their romance. However, their union was quickly hit by drama.

An ex-girlfriend claimed Todd was using Kandi to gain access to Atlanta’s celebrity scene and alleged he was still messaging her while dating Kandi. While Todd proposed with a diamond ring in 2013, Kandi’s daughter Riley and her mother, Mama Joyce, expressed doubts about Todd’s intentions.

Mama Joyce was a constant source of tension, publicly criticizing Todd and the engagement ring, and warning Kandi that Todd was an opportunist.

The prenup Kandi drafted was airtight, ensuring Todd wouldn’t get alimony or much time to vacate her house if things ended. Todd hesitated to sign, feeling the document was unfair, but ultimately agreed. The couple married in April 2014, but the unresolved issues lingered.

Shortly after the wedding, Todd admitted to feeling hurt by the prenup, and their intimacy reportedly stalled just six months in. For Todd, the power imbalance—Kandi’s financial dominance, career success, and the fact that everything in their life was hers—may have chipped away at his confidence and sense of belonging. Resentment began to show, especially in their lack of intimacy and emotional connection.

The couple welcomed their son Ace in 2016 and daughter Blaze via surrogate in 2019, but Todd struggled to bond with their new baby and started spending more time out of the house. Kandi worried about his time away, his New Jersey condo (shared with an ex), and rumors of infidelity. Reports even claimed Todd used a fake name, “Marvin,” when hooking up with other women.

As their business ventures grew, Kandi feared their relationship was becoming more about work than love. In therapy, she admitted their intimacy was fading, while Todd felt undervalued and pressured to keep up with Kandi’s career and family expectations. Todd confessed he felt more like a business partner than a husband, and his happiness suffered as a result.

In an effort to spice up their marriage, they tried inviting other women into their bedroom—a move Kandi defended as recently as November 2025. But for many, threesomes are a last-ditch effort to revive intimacy that’s already on life support, and rarely solve deeper issues.

By late 2025, fans noticed Kandi attending BravoCon solo, without her ring, and removing Todd’s last name from her social media. Todd’s posts started to look more like those of a single dad. For longtime observers, none of this is shocking. The relationship always seemed to lack real passion, and both deserve happiness—whether together or apart.

If divorce is truly imminent, it may be the healthiest choice. They can co-parent peacefully, focus on their own healing, and perhaps, with enough distance and less pressure, find a better path forward. Sometimes letting go is the only way to truly reset.
