Kandi Burruss, the powerhouse known for her chart-topping hits, reality TV reign, and business savvy, has just dropped a bombshell: she’s divorcing Todd Tucker after more than a decade together. But as her personal life takes a dramatic turn, Burruss is simultaneously reaching new heights on Broadway and in the music industry—proving, once again, that she’s a force who refuses to slow down.
A Decade-Long Love Story Ends
On Friday, November 21, Burruss confirmed the end of her marriage to Todd Tucker, her partner of nearly 15 years and husband of 11. In a heartfelt statement, she shared,
“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect.”Sources close to the couple say the split has been amicable, with no dramatic fallout or public feuding. The two reportedly separated months ago, quietly growing apart as their careers and lives evolved in different directions. Burruss and Tucker share two children—Ace, 9, and Blaze, who just turned 6—and both are committed to co-parenting with love.
The announcement comes on the heels of Burruss’ emotional appearance at BravoCon 2025, where she received the Wifetime Achievement Award and publicly thanked Todd for weathering the storms of reality TV life with her. Days later, the couple’s split became public knowledge, stunning fans who had watched their romance blossom on
The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
From Reality TV Royalty to Broadway Trailblazer
While her personal life is in transition, Burruss’ professional star is burning brighter than ever. After stepping away from
RHOA in early 2024 following a record-breaking 14-season run, she’s poured her energy into producing and starring in Broadway hits. Her latest project, a revival of
Othello, shattered records by grossing
$2.8 million in a single week—the highest ever for a nonmusical on Broadway.
Burruss’ Broadway ambitions are about more than just box office numbers. She’s become a champion for Black talent on stage, producing four shows in five years, all centering Black voices and stories.
“You can’t really make moves or make a real change unless you’re in the rooms with the people who are making decisions,” Burruss told
Marie Claire, underscoring her commitment to diversifying the industry.
And she’s not stopping there. Burruss is set to star in the Broadway musical
& Juliet next month, with sources confirming she won’t miss a single performance despite her personal upheaval. She’s also developing new reality TV projects and running a film production studio, Kandi & Todd Vision, which just wrapped an indie film now seeking distribution.
Music, Tours, and New Ventures
Burruss’ music career is also in full swing. After a successful 30-city “Queens of R&B Tour” with her iconic group Xscape and SWV, she’s eager for more live performances. She’s mentoring the rising girl group Psiryn, whose debut single “Sober” recently topped Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart—the first girl group to do so in 23 years.
Despite her packed schedule, Burruss shows no signs of slowing down.
“You always have to work on your next move while you’re in your current move,” she quipped, hinting at even bigger projects on the horizon.
