**Kandi Burruss Finally Breaks Her Silence on Todd Tucker Divorce: “It’s Been Brewing for a While”**

After months of speculation, Kandi Burruss has finally addressed her shocking split from Todd Tucker, revealing that their divorce was not a sudden decision but the culmination of years of tension and unresolved issues.

During a candid Amazon Live session, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 49, admitted, “Going through a divorce is definitely not the easiest thing. Sometimes you’re cool, hanging out with friends, but then you have moments of sadness. I like to keep those moments to myself.” Kandi explained that while she filed for divorce on Friday, the process had been “brewing for a while,” and her recent social media posts did not reflect the reality of what she was experiencing behind the scenes.

Kandi and Todd, who seemed like Atlanta royalty on the outside, had been together for 14 years, married for 11, and share two children. But as Kandi herself confessed, “Sometimes things don’t work out, and it just is what it is. I have no regrets.” She emphasized that their main concern now is co-parenting smoothly, keeping things friendly for the sake of their kids.

For fans who have followed their journey, the warning signs were always there. Kandi quietly removed “Tucker” from her Instagram handle, stopped wearing her wedding ring, and appeared solo at major events like BravoCon. These were not impulsive moves—they were the final steps in a story that had been unfolding for over a decade.

Their relationship began in 2011 when Todd was a production manager on Real Housewives of Atlanta. He wasn’t initially interested in Kandi, and it took encouragement from castmate Phaedra Parks for them to connect. Even then, Todd preferred to keep things casual, but Kandi wanted more, giving him an ultimatum to commit or walk away. Todd chose to stay, but questions lingered about whether he was drawn to Kandi for love or for the opportunities she could provide.

From the start, Kandi’s mother, Mama Joyce, was skeptical, warning that Todd might be an opportunist. Kandi insisted on a strict prenuptial agreement, which Todd hesitated to sign, feeling it was unfair and a sign of distrust. This power imbalance—Kandi’s financial dominance and Todd’s struggle to find his place—created underlying tension that never truly resolved.

Their marriage faced further challenges: intimacy issues surfaced just months after the wedding, and Todd’s resentment over the prenup led to emotional distance. As their family grew, Todd struggled to bond with their daughter, born via surrogate, and spent more time away from home. Rumors swirled about infidelity, secret condos, and Todd using an alias when out in New York. Kandi herself admitted their relationship felt more like a business partnership than a marriage.

Attempts to revive their intimacy, including inviting other women into their bedroom, were only temporary fixes that failed to address deeper issues. By late 2025, the signs were clear—Kandi was moving on, and Todd’s social media reflected a man living as a single dad.

In her own words, Kandi deserves a love that chooses her without hesitation, and Todd deserves peace outside the pressure of living in Kandi’s shadow. Their divorce is not a tragedy, but a release—a chance for both to heal and rediscover themselves. As Kandi said, “You can lie for years, but the truth always shows up.” For these two, the truth was that their marriage had been holding on by a thread, and letting go was the kindest thing they could do for themselves and their family.
