The Real Housewives of Atlanta Kandi Burruss revealed she has split from husband Todd Tucker after 11 years together.
The reality TV star, 49, shared that she has made the decision to file for divorce from Tucker, 52, on Friday, as she detailed the ‘difficult and emotional time’ they’re going through.
‘After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce,’ she said in a statement to People.
‘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 star — who recently underwent a weight loss transformation — added that she is ‘stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth.’
Burruss, who shares two kids with Tucker, added that she is grateful to those who supported them over the years and asked for ‘privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.’

The pair share two children together: son Ace, nine, and daughter Blaze, five, whom they welcomed via surrogate.
Burruss also has daughter Riley, 23, from a previous relationship with ex Russell Spencer, and Tucker has daughter Kaela, 29.
Burruss and Tucker met in 2011 while filming season four of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
They got engaged in January 2013 and married the following April.
The split announcement comes just days after Burruss thanked Tucker in her acceptance speech, after receiving the Wifetime Achievement Award at The Bravos during BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas on November 14.
‘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.
The couple have joined forces professionally on numerous ventures, including a soul food restaurant chain in Georgia, a trucking company, and a Bravo series centered on their family and the restaurant business.
The couple last posted each other to their Instagram accounts on October 8, when they both shared photos from a family day of apple picking with their kids.

They were seen smiling together as they posed with their two kids.
‘Field tripping with @acetucker & @blazetucker!’ Burruss wrote in the caption.
Meanwhile Tucker shared similar snaps to his page, writing, ‘I hope these little apples don’t fall far the tree! Had so much fun with @acetucker and @blazetucker at the Apple Patch!’
Burruss joined RHOA in 2009 during season two. At the time, she was a single mother to her daughter Riley.
Tucker, meanwhile, worked behind the scenes as a production manager before their relationship turned romantic.
Tucker frequently clashed with his mother-in-law, Mama Joyce Jones on the reality series.
The tension dates back to the early days of their relationship, when Jones labeled him a ‘gold-digging opportunist’ on the Bravo series.
Jones reignited drama at BravoCon 2022 when she was unable to name three nice things about Tucker.

Burruss said the pair ultimately reconciled the following year.
‘That BravoCon last year set it off in my household. They weren’t talking. If she came around, Todd would leave,’ she recalled at BravoCon 2023.
‘It was a whole mess. I guess over the summer, he decided to let it go. They started communicating. She comes over and hangs out with the kids,’ she added.
