Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker came together for Thanksgiving on November 23, 2023, shortly after the announcement of their divorce. Burruss, a prominent figure from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” shared a family photo on Instagram showcasing her with their two children, Ace, aged 9, and Blaze, aged 6, along with her daughter from a previous relationship, Riley Burruss, 23, and Tucker’s daughter, Kaela, 29.
In her post, Kandi expressed her gratitude for the day, stating, “Happy Thanksgiving! I truly enjoyed my day with my fam. I hope you enjoyed yours! Now I feel stuffed like a turkey & need to lay down.” Despite Todd being absent from the picture, Kandi clarified, “Before anyone assumes anything, Todd came earlier to eat with us but he wasn’t there for the pic. He was not left out or anything like that.”
The couple’s separation, after 11 years of marriage, was confirmed last week. Kandi shared her decision in a heartfelt statement, emphasizing the challenges of the situation. “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,” she said.
Kandi also mentioned her intention to embrace a new chapter in her life. She added, “I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”
Reflecting on her emotional state during a recent Amazon Live session, Kandi revealed that the split had been “brewing for a while” and admitted to experiencing a range of feelings, including sadness. “So all the times you’ve been seeing me online [all smiles] means nothing,” she confessed. “I’ve been going through it, child. I’ve been going through it. Life has been life-ing me.”
While Todd has yet to publicly address the divorce extensively, he recently communicated with his followers, indicating he is “dealing with a lot.” Despite the emotional turmoil surrounding their separation, Kandi emphasized their shared commitment to prioritize their children during this transition, stating they are “keeping it very friendly.”
As both Kandi and Todd navigate this new chapter in their lives, their focus remains on their family, showcasing a united front for the sake of their children amidst personal challenges.
