By Patricia Jones Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are officially divorced. The former couple reached a complete settlement on March 11, 2026, and their divorce was finalized later that month after more than 11 years of marriage.
When Did Kandi Burruss Announce the Divorce?
Burruss publicly announced on November 21, 2025, that she had decided to move forward with a divorce. She described it as a difficult and emotional decision and said she intended to focus on her children, her work and respectful co-parenting.
The couple reportedly separated several months before the public announcement. Burruss later said that a particular incident caused her to decide that she could no longer continue the marriage, but she declined to reveal the private details publicly.
Because Burruss has not publicly explained the incident in detail, online claims assigning a specific cause to the divorce should not be treated as established facts.
When Did Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker Get Married?
Burruss and Tucker met in 2011 while Tucker was working as a television producer on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. They became engaged in 2013 and married on April 4, 2014.
Their relationship and wedding preparations were shown on television, including in the Bravo series Kandi’s Wedding. They later worked together on restaurants, television programmes, theatre productions and other business projects.
The marriage lasted nearly 12 years before the divorce was finalized in March 2026.
Did Kandi Burruss File for Divorce?
Yes. Burruss moved forward with a formal divorce case in Fulton County, Georgia. The proceedings initially included disagreements about custody, financial matters and the couple’s living arrangements.
Burruss originally requested joint custody of their two younger children. The custody dispute became more complicated after Tucker sought primary custody and argued that Burruss’s work commitments frequently kept her away from Georgia. Burruss disputed his description of their parenting arrangement.
Despite the disagreement, the former couple eventually negotiated a complete settlement instead of continuing toward a contested trial.
When Was the Divorce Settlement Reached?
Burruss and Tucker informed the Superior Court of Fulton County on March 11, 2026, that they had reached a full and final settlement.
The court directed them to submit the remaining documents, including their final judgment, parenting plan, child-support addendum and financial worksheets. Their marriage was legally ended later in March 2026.
The agreement resolved custody, support, property and other outstanding divorce issues.
Who Has Custody of Their Children?
Burruss and Tucker agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their two children:
- Ace Wells Tucker
- Blaze Tucker
The parenting arrangement divides their time substantially equally between both parents. Burruss and Tucker are expected to communicate regarding the children’s education, healthcare and general welfare.
The settlement also reportedly requires both parents to approve certain media, commercial and public-facing opportunities involving the children. This provision is significant because both Burruss and Tucker work in entertainment and television.
Each former spouse also has an adult daughter from a previous relationship. Burruss is the mother of Riley Burruss, while Tucker is the father of Kaela Tucker.
Is Either Parent Paying Child Support?
Neither Burruss nor Tucker is required to make regular child-support payments to the other.
Their substantially equal parenting schedule resulted in no monthly payment being ordered from either parent. They are also responsible for sharing certain expenses connected to the children.
Burruss is reportedly responsible for maintaining the children’s health, dental and vision insurance. Certain uninsured medical expenses and other costs are divided between both parents.
Is Kandi Burruss Paying Alimony?
No. The settlement provides that neither former spouse will receive alimony or continuing spousal support.
Both parties waived claims to regular spousal-support payments and are responsible for their own personal expenses following the divorce.
Why Did Kandi Pay Todd Tucker More Than $426,000?
Under the settlement, Burruss agreed to pay Tucker a lump sum of approximately $426,388.77.
Burruss explained that the payment was not ordinary alimony. It was intended to equalize the division of jointly owned property and real-estate equity. She said that the couple divided their assets equally and that the payment reflected the difference between the properties each person retained.
Therefore, the payment should not automatically be described as Tucker receiving a large spousal-support award.
How Were Their Assets Divided?
The former couple divided vehicles, businesses, real estate and other shared property through their settlement.
Burruss retained several vehicles, including a Bentley, Cadillac Escalade, Ford F-250, Porsche Cayenne and a classic Chevrolet Camaro. Tucker retained vehicles including a Mercedes G-Wagon, Porsche 911, Range Rover and classic Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Their jointly owned food truck was to be sold. Credit-card reward points and other shared benefits were also divided.
The publicly released documents did not disclose every detail concerning their real-estate holdings. Tucker agreed to move out of Burruss’s guest house shortly after the parenting and settlement documents were completed.
Did Todd Tucker Challenge the Prenuptial Agreement?
Reports during the divorce suggested that Tucker’s legal team might challenge the couple’s prenuptial agreement.
Burruss later clarified that Tucker had not formally contested the agreement. She said the possibility had been raised during negotiations but that no completed challenge had been filed at that point.
The final negotiated settlement avoided the need for a court to conduct a lengthy trial over the validity or enforcement of the prenuptial agreement.
Are Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker Still Working Together?
Their marriage has ended, but both have publicly indicated that they want to maintain a workable co-parenting relationship.
Burruss acknowledged that some of their divorce discussions had been intense. However, she said their shared objective was to make sure their children remained happy and supported.
Their ability to cooperate over future business matters may depend on the particular project and the terms of their settlement.
Current Status
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are no longer married. They announced their separation in November 2025, reached a settlement on March 11, 2026, and finalized their divorce later that month.
The settlement provides for joint custody, no monthly child support, no alimony and a division of their property and businesses. Burruss’s payment of approximately $426,000 was connected to equalizing the couple’s property division rather than continuing spousal support.
Neither former spouse has publicly disclosed every private event that led to the marriage ending. Claims about misconduct or the cause of the divorce should therefore be presented as allegations unless confirmed directly or established in court records.
