“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker have split after 11 years of marriage.
“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce,” Burress announced Friday.
“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,” the reality star told People in a statement.
She added that her “new chapter” will include pouring herself in her work, family and personal growth.

“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,” she said.
Fans began speculating that the couple had called it quits earlier this week when she removed Tucker’s last name from her Instagram handle
He was also markedly absent from Burruss’ recent appearance at BravoCon 2025 last week, where she was honored with the network’s “Wifetime Achievement Award.”
In her acceptance speech, Burruss, 49, thanked her family including her Mama Joyce and their Old Lady Gang, as well as her husband.

“To Todd, thank you for surviving the blogs, the shade, the rumors, the lies, the truth, the almost fights, the actual fights, the reunions, you earned this award too,” she said to the crowd, per Instagram.
Despite his absence, Tucker showed his support for Burruss on social media as he responded to the shout out.
“Much deserved, you did it with class and dignity. You’re an inspiration to many. You’re the 🐐 GOAT!” he wrote.
However, eagle-eyed fans also noticed that that Burruss ditched her wedding ring for the three-day Las Vegas convention.

Reps for Burruss did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The pair were last seen together publicly at Burruss’ Xscape groupmember, Tameka “Tiny” Harris’ 50th birthday party on July 14.

They went on to welcome a son, Ace, in 2016, and a daughter, Blaze, whom they welcomed via surrogate in 2019.
