Kandi Burruss is speaking out in the wake of her split from Todd Tucker after filing for divorce last week.
“My life has been going crazy lately,” Burruss, 49, revealed during her Monday, November 24, Amazon Live broadcast, referring to her recent split.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum explained, “I’m gonna be very honest with you, I am up and down. Obviously, going through a divorce is definitely not the easiest thing. Sometimes you’re cool, you’re moving, you’re mixing, you’re moving, you’re hanging out with friends.”
Burruss noted, “But then sometimes you have your moments of sadness. And me being the Taurus that I am, I like to keep those moments to myself.”
She recalled that when she was on RHOA, she couldn’t “keep moments to myself when I got upset,” so her fans would “catch me crying.”
However in her “real life,” Burruss said, “I don’t really like for those moments to be shared with the world.”
Burruss said her divorce from Tucker, 52, was one of those times that she was able to keep her private life secret.
After confirming she filed for divorce on Friday, November 21, Burress admitted the breakup “is something that has been brewing for a while.”
“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.”
Burruss, who shares son Ace, 9, and daughter Blaze, 6, with Tucker, later told her followers that she is holding up “as good as I can be.”
The reality star revealed that it has been “hard” to read comments about her breakup on social media by people “making their own narrative of what’s going on.”
Even with the negative attention, Burruss said she has “no regrets” about her marriage to Tucker.
“Sometimes things don’t work out. It just is what it is,” she said, adding that their two children together are “keeping it very friendly” for the sake of their kids. (Burruss also shares daughter Riley, 23, with ex Russell Spencer.)
Luxury Handbag Shopping confirmed on Friday that Burruss and Tucker called it quits after 11 years of marriage.
“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,” Burruss said in a statement to Us. “I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family and my own 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.”
The news broke one week after Burruss gave Tucker props for his support during her tenure on RHOA. (Burruss exited the Bravo franchise in 2023 after season 15.)
“To Todd, thank you for surviving the blogs, the shade, the rumors, the lies, the truth, the almost fights, the actual fights, the reunions,” Burruss said during BravoCon 2025’s The Bravos while accepting the Wifetime Achievement award on November 14. “You earned this award too.”
Tucker returned the favor, giving Burruss a shout-out via social media after she won the milestone trophy.
“Much deserved, you did it with class and dignity. You’re an inspiration to many. You’re the 🐐 GOAT!” he wrote in the comments section of Bravo and Burruss’ joint Instagram post.
Luxury Handbag Shopping has reached out to Tucker for comment.
