Kandi Burruss and her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, put on a united front to celebrate the holidays as a family.

Real Housewives of Atlanta alums Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are keeping things civil over the holidays. Burruss, 49, documented her Thanksgiving Day festivities via Instagram on Thursday, November 27, including a family photo with daughter Riley, 23, sons Ace, 9, and Blaze, 6, and her mom, “Mama” Joyce Jones. “Happy Thanksgiving! I truly enjoyed […]
Last month, Burruss announced that she and Tucker 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. 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 Weekly in November. “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.”
Tucker subsequently filed a request for primary custody of his and Burruss’ children. Burruss, for her part, asked the court for all filings, testimony and other evidence to be sealed.
Days after announcing her and Tucker’s separation, Burruss opened up about how she was faring.
“My life has been going crazy lately,” Burruss revealed during an Amazon Live broadcast. “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. 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.”
Earlier this month, Burruss revealed that she and Tucker had plans to celebrate Christmas together amid their ongoing divorce.
“Y’all already know I’m going through a divorce, but we have decided that we are still going to do Christmas together,” Burruss shared during a December 15 episode of her Amazon Live broadcast. “Even though we have all this mess going on right now, we still gonna do it together for our kids, so we are spending Christmas in New York.”
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker reunited for their daughter Blaze’s 6th birthday one day after announcing their split. People reported that the estranged couple threw a Snow White-themed party for Blaze at Ready, Set FUN! in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, November 22. The outlet published a photograph of Burruss and Tucker posing together with Blaze, […]
Burruss opted to stay in New York City for the holidays instead of traveling to her hometown of Atlanta due to work. She is currently playing Angélique in the Broadway musical, & Juliet. The musician shared that her kids were “excited” to spend Christmas somewhere new.
While Burrus has been hard at work, she opened up about how it’s been a challenge to miss out on her children’s milestones as they’ve stayed in Atlanta during her stage performances.
“My daughter Blaze had her dance recital yesterday,” Burruss said. “But she did really good. My mom went. Carmen went. The whole squad was there and Todd was there.”
