It’s been a whirlwind few days for Kandi Burruss since announcing her divorce from husband Todd Tucker. In her first public comments since the news broke, the multi-talented star is getting candid about the emotional toll of the split, admitting that while she has no regrets, the grief is real.
Honest Feelings About the Divorce
During a recent Amazon fireside chat on Monday, November 24th, Burruss opened up to fans about navigating this difficult period. When asked how she was doing, the singer and former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star didn’t hold back, describing her emotional state as ‘up and down.’
She explained that going through a divorce is far from easy. While she’s learned to keep some of her more private moments of sadness to herself in her everyday life – a contrast to her time on reality TV where such moments were often public – she felt comfortable sharing with her ‘Amazon family.’
A Long Time Brewing
Burruss clarified that while she officially filed for divorce on Friday, the decision has been a long time coming. She acknowledged that many people are creating their own narratives about the situation, but she’s currently feeling ‘all over the place’ as she processes everything.
Despite the pain of the divorce, Burruss spoke with grace about her nearly 15-year relationship with Tucker, which resulted in an 11-year marriage and two children. She emphasized that she has ‘no regrets’ about the time they spent together, highlighting the positive aspects of their shared history and their two ‘wonderful, beautiful children.’
Business Ventures and Family
Their relationship also extended into numerous successful business ventures, including a significant restaurant portfolio. Fans might recall Burruss thanking Tucker during her acceptance speech for the Wifetime Achievement Award at BravoCon, acknowledging his support through various challenges.
Adding a touch of warmth, Burruss confirmed that she and Tucker will be spending Thanksgiving together and will continue to co-parent their children. However, when asked about her mother, Joyce “Mama” Jones, appearing on her podcast, Burruss quickly shut down the idea, humorously noting that her mother might ‘speak too much’ right now.
