  • Kandi Burruss: RHOA Star Shares Pics Of Her Adorable Newborn Baby Ace Wells

    Real Housewives of Atlanta Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker feel like first-time parents after welcoming their son Ace Wells.

    Burruss, who struggled to get pregnant before resorting to IVF treatment, welcomed their newborn son on January 6, but for them it was worth the wait.

    “We really worked hard for him,” she recently told People. “It was a long process and lots of needles.”
    Kandi Burruss says they felt like first-time parents ever since Ace Wells came, even though she and Tucker already have daughters from previous relationships- Riley, 13, and Kaela, 19.

    “It’s like starting all over,” shared the reality star. “We were like, ‘Which bottles do we use? What diapers do we buy?’ Simple stuff that you would think I already know and I don’t. It’s silly.”

    I posted this video of #Ace earlier on my snapchat. Follow me on snap! #kandiburruss

    Since they already have two daughters, Burruss was really excited to have a baby boy in the family. “I always wanted a boy so we were super excited because we have two girls and they give us much attitude. We were looking forward to having a boy,” she said.

    In fact, they have already decided on their baby’s nursery décor. Ace Wells’ room was safari themed because the reality stars met in Africa, said Burruss. “It’s safari chic. Safari clean,” Tucker said of their baby’s nursery.

    “Todd and I have been waiting so long for his delivery and he is so very perfect,” Kandi Burruss told People.

    Burruss has been vocal about their struggle to conceive, which prompted them to try in vitro fertilization in the hopes of getting pregnant despite knowing that the procedure would not guarantee success. She was, however, ecstatic upon finding out she was pregnant.

    “…so when we found out that our procedure WAS successful you can’t imagine our joy! Our family could now be complete with the addition of our baby love,” Burruss shared in a July interview with Us Weekly.

    Kandi Burruss also has a 13-year-old daughter named Riley from a previous relationship with Russell “Block” Spencer.

  • Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker Expecting Baby Boy

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are expecting a baby boy. The couple is beyond excited, as they each have a daughter from previous relationships.

    During an interview on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Kandi Burruss enlisted the help of her fans to come up with options for boy’s names.

    “We can’t agree on times right now,” she said. If anyone’s got some good names, tweet them to me. Help me out!”

    Kandi Burruss shared the fertility struggles she and Todd Tucker endured during the last season of the show. The couple was beyond excited when they finally learned they had a baby on the way.

    The anticipation is rather bittersweet for both Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker, however, as his mom really wanted a grandchild, but passed away from a stroke almost a year ago.

    Todd shared an ultrasound photo on his Instagram account, and mentioned how much his mom would have loved this baby.

    “That’s baby Tucker!!! It’s a BOY!!! I wish my mom was here for this! She wanted this more than anything!!! But I know she see’s everything that’s happening and she’s happy and proud of us!!!” he captioned the photo.

  • Kandi Burruss: Drama Ensues On Family Ski Trip To Colarado

    Everyone has horror stories of their family vacations. Kandi Burruss had hers caught on camera.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta mainstay and her husband Todd Tucker went on a vacation with their families in an effort to mend relationships and get their families closer. While their intentions were good, not everyone saw it that way.

    And all the ensuing drama can be seen on Kandi’s three-part spinoff The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi’s Ski Trip.

    In an exclusive statement, Todd mentioned the need to fix strained relationships, particularly in light of his mother’s passing.

    “We’ve never had Kandi and my family under the same roof so it was an interesting experiment with lots of unexpected moments,” he concluded.

    A clip from the show highlighted one such unexpected moment when Kandi’s aunt expressed their displeasure over their living accommodations at Bella Vista Estate ski resort in Colorado.

    Aunt Bertha was very vocal and told her niece that she’s mad because she was placed in the back while Kandi, Todd and her Mama Joyce had the front house.

    Another aunt, Nora, also chimed in and complained “that’s about twelve steps we gotta go up and down every time we come down over here.”

    “I’m the oldest somebody in here and I think I should have been considered in some kind of way,” she added.

    Fortunately, the 39-year-old Kandi didn’t have to worry about her Mama Joyce and her husband being at each other’s throats in such close quarters as her mom was surprisingly nice to Todd (probably because he just lost his mom).

    “She was there for him and was better to him, so their relationship was pretty cool,” she shared.

    It’s still unclear whether Kandi and Todd accomplished what they set out to do on this trip or if it made things worse.

  • Kandi Burruss Refers to Family as the Black ‘Beverly Hillbillies’

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame dished recently to Us Weekly about her thick southern accent, admitting that when she’s together with her family members that it’s even thicker.

    Burruss even shared that while watching an episode of her Bravo spinoff, Kandi’s Ski Trip, it reminded her of ‘the black Beverly Hillbillies.’

    “I am born and raised in Atlanta and I am very country and I have a definite accent, but when I get around my family, it gets worse! So I laughed so hard at points watching because it reminds me of the black Beverly Hillbillies,” she said.

    Kandi’s Ski Trip is a three-part series that features Kandi Burruss, her husband Todd Tucker, and their extended family, as they all travel to a Colorado ski resort to deal with some issues. Kandi Burruss said that her mother–Mama Joyce–was on her best behavior. Anyone who watches RHOA knows Mama Joyce doesn’t have much love for Todd Tucker. Still she managed to behave herself in Colorado–close quarters and all.

    “My mom was pretty good because before the trip we had just lost Todd’s mom, so she was being very nice to Todd,” Kandi Burruss said. “She was there for him and was better to him, so their relationship was pretty cool.”

    Mama Joyce spread a rumor during season six of the Real Housewives of Atlanta about Kandi Burruss’s friend Carmen having an affair with Todd Burruss. Of course, Carmen went along on the ski trip, too. Was Mama Joyce as nice to her as she was to Todd?

    No.

    “She has not talked to Carmen since before my wedding. It’s hard because Carmon and I are so close. It was important for me to get them back on the same page,” Kandi explained.

    Fourteen of Kandi Burruss’s family members went along on this ski trip to Colorado. Only two had ever attempted the slopes before.

    “The funny thing is, the show is called the Ski Trip, but it’s not really about the skiing! You don’t even really see that much skiing going on,” Kandi said. “It’s about the dynamics of these families.”

    Filming Kandi’s Ski Trip took more out of Kandi Burruss than filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    “Dealing with your family, it makes it much more emotional for me because you take everything to heart. When I have a thing with the ladies, it’s like whatever, but when I go through these things with my family, I really, really care about how they feel and making up with them,” she said. “It’s more of a serious issue with me. My family, they’re very open and they say anything in front of the camera–they don’t hold back–so you never know what they’re going to say. It’s very different from the ladies on Housewives!”

    Fans can check out Kandi Burruss in the first episode of Kandi’s Ski Trip. It airs tonight–Sunday, May 17th–on Bravo, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

  • Kandi Burruss Talks About The Two-Week Rule That’s Keeping Her Marriage Alive

    Making a marriage work is hard enough, but it’s a thousand times harder when your every move and decision is caught on camera and broadcasted to thousands of viewers.

    It’s a situation that Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker understand only too well, but the couple seems to have finally found a nice compromise that will help their marriage.

    Fans of the Real Housewives of Atlanta know the struggles the couple faced during their first year of marriage.

    Aside from all the little adjustments that all newlyweds face, Kandi and Todd also had to deal with busy work schedules and their desire to have a baby.

    Todd dividing his time between home and his job on the West Coast caused numerous arguments, with Kandi expressing her fear several times that he was cheating on her. At one point, Kandi even suggested that they try marriage counseling to help deal with their issues.

    But despite their volatile first year as man and wife, Kandi and Todd stuck it out and appear to have found a way to keep their marriage going.

    What’s their plan? Never spend more than two weeks apart.

    The couple shared their new rule during an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show. According to Kandi, they agreed that they cannot be away from each other for more than 2 weeks.

    “It’s mandatory,” she told Dr. Oz. “One of us has to figure out how to get to the other within the two weeks.”

    The idea is a sound one. Studies have shown that while spending some time apart is beneficial to couples, spending quality time together is also necessary to form a bond that will get you through the ups and downs of life. There has to be a good balance between the two.

    It seems that things are finally looking up for the couple and they’re now focusing on bigger and better things, like an addition to their family as well as a reality TV spinoff.

  • Kandi Burruss of ‘Real Housewives’ Set to Star in ‘Meet the Tuckers’ With Hubby Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and husband Todd Tucker have reportedly signed a deal for a new Bravo spin-off called Meet the Tuckers.

    The reports seem to be confirmed after Kandi Burruss posted a selfie on her Instagram account, with the reality star sitting in hair and makeup with the caption, “Interview day for another show!” However, that post has since been deleted.

    Bravo has not confirmed rumors of the new series.

    The spin-off will follow the Tuckers through their daily life as they deal with the pressures of building their own production company and handle some much-publicized family drama that seems to follow the couple wherever they go, which should please some fans.

    A perfect example of the drama fans can expect from the new series is a recent incident that happened on Real Housewives when a frustrated Kandi Burruss broke down as she faced her marital fears. In one episode, Kandi Burruss and Tucker are seen in a marriage counseling session, in which the couple share with the world their intimacy issues, due, which led Burruss to question her husband’s faithfulness.

    “The sex life done went downhill. I don’t know what happened. For a second, I was like ‘Are you cheating out there in LA? Like what is going on?” Burruss told the counselor.

    According to Todd Tucker, the issues stem from a prenup that turned out to be a big turnoff for Tucker.

    “I think there was a lot of change with the prenup,” he told their counselor. “It was just how it was dealt with. It was real dry. It was like she had no feelings. It wasn’t like, ‘I want to marry you, let’s talk this out, let’s figure it out.’”

  • Kandi Burruss: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Talks Sex Life With Hubby Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta admitted to a counselor that sex with her husband, Todd Tucker, needed improving. The two have only been married for about six months. What she admitted to a friend was even worse, however.

    According to RadarOnline, Tucker claims to never have completely recovered over Kandi Burruss asking him to sign a prenup prior to their marriage.

    The counselor sent both Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss away from a recent session with homework. They were supposed to list the pros and cons of their relationship.

    Kandi Burruss recalled sex with Todd before they got married.

    “We used to sit in the car for hours kissing and I loved that. We don’t kiss like we used to!” she said.

    A photo posted by Kandi Burruss (@kandiburruss) on

    Todd thought the homework was ridiculous, and had his own ideas on how to salvage their marriage. He believes he and Kandi simply need “to go in a room and have sex … be spontaneous.”

    Maybe there’s a happy medium between that and the homework the counselor gave the couple?

    On Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Phaedra Parks asked Kandi Burruss how her ‘baby making’ was going. That brought even more about her sex life with Todd to light.

    “Girl, it ain’t going. I don’t think we’re having sex enough, personally. Our sex life sucks lately,” she said.

    Do you think a few more visits to the counselor can help Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker salvage their marriage? How do you suppose Todd felt when he heard Kandi tell Phaedra Parks that sex with him sucks? That’s not the kind of thing most men want to hear.

    It will be interesting to learn how this couple fares throughout the next few episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Do you think Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker will stay married or are their days as a couple headed down the tubes?

  • Kandi Burruss: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Talks Feud With Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore

    Kandi Burruss: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Talks Feud With Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame spoke out recently about the feud between costars Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore–and how she became part of it.

    “Honestly, I was just over it,” Kandi Burruss wrote in a recent Bravo blog. “Every time we all get together, there has to be some lame ass ‘tea’ spilled, and I’m just tired of it.”

    Kandi Burruss is, of course, referring to the ridiculous incident that took place on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, during which Phaedra Parks jumped across the table toward Kenya Moore, after accusations flew about Phaedra’s husband and about Phaedra cheating.

    “What tripped me out was hearing Porsha and Phaedra make me out to be the enemy because I left the table two seconds later than they did,” Burruss continued. “That just felt like they said, ‘Hey, we’re going to put Kandi in the middle of this drama in some way.’”

    It sounds like Kandi Burruss truly has had enough with the drama.

    “Well if Phaedra is really going to play into this whole ‘Kandi’s not my friend because she didn’t jump into my argument and run out the room faster than me,’ then OK… So be it,” she added.

    Kandi Burruss has also made news recently for another episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, during which she and her husband attend marriage counseling. It certainly sounds like Kandi’s marriage might already be over. The fact that a prenup was discussed prior to her marrying Todd Tucker definitely didn’t help matters any.

    Is Kandi Burruss just a mess of confusion these days? Between being dragged in to the feud with Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks and trying to work out her marriage–does the Real Housewives of Atlanta star need a break from the ‘reality’ she’s experiencing on this reality show?

  • Kandi Burruss: Trouble in Paradise for ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star?

    Kandi Burruss has only been married to Todd Tucker for a few months, but it seems like there’s trouble in paradise already for the Real Housewives of Atlanta star. On Sunday’s episode of the show, the couple admitted to a counselor that what should be a hot romance has cooled off considerably.

    “We didn’t even have a honeymoon,” Kandi Burruss told the counselor.

    Todd Tucker admitted that feeling pressured to sign a prenup cooled things off for him–before the marriage even took place. He didn’t sign it, and was called an ‘opportunist’ by Kandi’s mom for refusing to do so.

    “It was like she had no feelings,” Todd Tucker told the therapist about the entire prenup ordeal. “It wasn’t like ‘Let’s talk this out,’ it was more, ‘If he don’t sign it, whatever. It’ll be an expensive party.’”

    “Todd is turning this whole session into ‘What’s Wrong with Kandi?’” said a visibly perturbed Kandi Burruss during the visit with the therapist.

    Things got even worse when the counselor asked about the couple’s sex life. Kandi wondered out loud if Todd had been cheating on her. She indicated that their sex life had ‘gone to hell.’ Todd talked about her bonnet. Her bonnet?

    “It’s kind of jacked up that he didn’t answer the question,” Kandi Burruss said. “Whatever’s done in the dark will come to light–I am going to do whatever it takes to save my marriage.”

    Hmmm…maybe she shouldn’t wear that bonnet.

    The counselor ended up giving Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss an assignment to complete before meeting again. They are to go out on a date night.

    Can you even imagine the kind of drama that will ensue–even in preparation for such an evening? What would any of the Real Housewives shows be without an overtly healthy dose of drama?

    Do you think Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s marriage can be salvaged? Will they spend the rest of the Real Housewives of Atlanta season in therapy trying to put the pieces (that never were together in the first place) together again?

  • Kandi Burruss Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

    Kandi Burruss and her new husband Todd Tucker weren’t even down the aisle before pregnancy rumors started circulating.

    All summer, several media outlets speculated about the Real Housewives of Atlanta star being pregnant.

    Then, Todd only raised more speculation when he posted a picture of himself shopping for baby shoes.

    But, neither of them ever provided an explanation for the questionable post.

    So, the rumors continued. Now, she’s reportedly setting the record straight.

    According to Bravo TV, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter spoke out about the rumors on the Russ Parr Morning Show.

    She revealed she’s been aware of the rumors. She just never got around to addressing them. But, she isn’t pregnant at the moment.

    “I have all this stuff going on. Once things happen and I’m blessed with the situation, I’ll figure it out. Don’t we all?” she said on the morning show. “As far as I know, we haven’t had any luck getting pregnant. I’ve been seeing people tweeting…but I haven’t confirmed that,” she said.

    However, she did reveal that she’d like to have a boy whenever she does conceive! Since she already has a 12-year-old daughter, her response is a bit surprising. But, she also gave an explanation for her preference!

    “I always wanted to have a son,” Burruss said. “With girls, you’re scared somebody’s going to take advantage of them or something. I just feel like boys are easier. You don’t have to worry as much.”

    Burruss went on to discuss the abrupt cancellation of her tour earlier this month. For those who don’t know, the reality TV star signed a theatrical tour deal to take her stage-play A Mother’s Love on the road. Unfortunately, the tour was cancelled due to problems with the promoter.

    “Everyone was so disappointed and upset. We got so many great reviews in that first week. The cast was disappointed; all our fans were disappointed,” she said.

    “Normally, Todd and I like to control everything…in this situation, we handed it over to a promoter. It’s like you’re giving your baby to somebody, and you realize they didn’t do right. Basically, he just wasn’t equipped to handle the tour.”

  • Kandi Burruss And Todd Tucker Ready For A Baby?

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are the epitome of a power couple.

    Not only are they dominating reality TV, but they’ve also found success on the theatrical stage with Kandi’s play A Mother’s Love.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta star also has a successful sex toy line and a number of retail stores.

    While she and Tucker are extremely happy with the success of their thriving entrepreneurial ventures, there’s still one thing they have on their wish list – a baby.

    The pregnancy rumors began circulating shortly after they tied the knot back in April. However, by mid-summer, the rumors had become just a thing of the past – until a couple days ago.

    According to Radar Online, Burruss and the former ‘RHOA’ line producer were spotted looking at infant shoes for a baby boy. Tucker even posted a picture via Instagram of a pair of baby shoes he’d been shopping for.

    Of course, their shopping excursion immediately caught the attention of the media and now she’s rumored to be pregnant yet again. So is she?

    Tucker’s mom, Sharon, recently spoke with Radar to address the mounting rumors. “I think they want to get pregnant. I would love that,” she said. “And I’m pretty sure if she does get pregnant, she’ll announce it on the show.”

    Although the picture he posted definitely raised eyebrows, his mother insists they’re still in the early stages of family planning . “As far as I know, I don’t think Kandi is pregnant yet,” she said. “I think they would have told me. I’m sure they would tell me once they are.”

    However, she did admit that pregnancy is a possibility. But, unfortunately, she didn’t confirm if the allegations are true. “It’s been a few months now, so it is possible,” continued Sharon. “But they were just with me and they didn’t say anything.”

    Fans will just have to wait and see what happens!

  • Kandi Burruss Shares Details About Her Ironclad Prenup

    Kandi Burruss will stop at nothing to protect her wealth and all that she has amassed over the years.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta star refuses to risk losing any of her assets – not even for the love of her now-husband, Todd Tucker.

    During a recent interview with The Grio, Burruss shared her perspective of women who are financially stable and how they should protect themselves, regardless of love. Although no one goes into marriage anticipating divorce, it does happen.

    “You don’t get to see it a lot… where a woman is in financially better off than the husband,” Kandi said. “You have to protect yourself.”

    “Y’all know how divorce happens out of the blue to people that we thought we couldn’t believe they got divorced. So you have to be ready for a mad day,” she continued.

    “People can work things out and talk about how we wanted things to be when we’re on the same page, but when we get mad people want to hurt each other. How they want to hurt you? In your pocket. You not gonna be goin’ for mine.”

    Burruss opened up about the prenup, following the third episode of her wedding special, which aired on Sunday, June 29. The now-married couple quickly became a trending topic all over social media sites after Tucker’s refusal to sign the prenup.

    Despite his resistance to signing the papers, the “Fly Above” singer clarified that Tucker has no problems with the terms of their agreement. He also has no reservations about splitting any money they make together.

    “I feel like we should work together to make money together,” Burruss said. “The things that I’m trying to protect are the things that I had going into the marriage, meaning: Bedroom Kandi, my music, my stores, my properties and different things that I had going into the marriage.”

    The 38-year-old reality star went on to share one of her main reasons for proposing such an ironclad prenup – the possibility of spousal support. She also spoke of other celebrities embroiled in legal battles with their estranged exes all because prenups weren’t in place for their financial protection.

    “I’m not paying spousal support, oh no,” she said. “I’m seeing too much going on right now. Halle Berry’s paying $20,000 a month in child support, and then poor Sherri [Shepherd], she had a prenup and now [her husband, John Sally] is coming after her for spousal support. They’ve only been married a few years.  Are you kidding me?”

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s Coming to America-themed wedding ceremony aired on Sunday, July 6 at 8/7c on Bravo. For those who missed it, the wedding ceremony airs again on Tuesday, July 8 at 7:30/6:30c, only on Bravo.

  • Kandi Burruss Wedding Clip Reveals Pre-Nup Fight with Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss’ wedding special has received highly lauded reviews. The special, which chronicles the events that led up to Burruss’ wedding on April 4 has definitely been a fan favorite!

    According to US Weekly, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s ratings have already been through-the-roof, but media outlets project that the show’s viewership may peak when the wedding airs Sunday night.

    But why? Well, it has everything to do with Burruss’ proposed pre-nuptial agreement for her new hubby, Todd Tucker. Several media outlets reported that Tucker was quite displeased with the terms of the agreement and refused to sign it.

    Of course, that didn’t go over well with Burruss’ mother, Mama Joyce. However, Burruss also seemed a bit miffed by her now-husband’s disapproval and apprehension. The entire debacle reportedly caused the wedding to be delayed for several hours since Tucker refused to sign the papers.

    Now, Bravo has released a sneak peek so fans can get a preview of the drama that’ll unfold on national television tomorrow night. Needless to say, things got pretty heated!

    “You can’t be mad at me for dealing with my lawyer and he has concerns,” Tucker explained. “Is this s–t personal or is it just business?” he added. “How is it personal to say you get what you get and I get?” Kandi responded. Tucker went on to point out one of his main concerns. That’s when the argument began to escalate. “If we don’t work out, I have to get out of the damn house in 30 days? How do I  get out of the house in 30 days?”

    “Todd can say whatever he wants about it not being about the money [being] why he doesn’t like the prenup,” Kandi said to the camera. “But meanwhile, his attorney is [the one] sending notes and all those notes are about money!”

    Ironically, Burruss’ statement is exactly what her mother has been concerned about all along. Mama Joyce has verbally expressed that she feels her new son-in-law is an opportunist trying to get his hands on the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter’s money.

    “So you think you should get some of my money?” Kandi asked Todd. “I don’t  want your f–king money … I don’t think there’s gonna be no wedding,” said Todd.

  • Kandi Burruss Marries Despite Mama Joyce’s Warnings

    Kandi Burruss has been warned.

    Despite voiced trepidations by her mom — known to the world as Mama Joyce — Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss married former producer Todd Tucker on Friday.

    Mama Joyce has told her daughter repeatedly she believes Tucker is using her and even accused him of sleeping with Burruss’ assistant Carmon.

    When Tucker refused to sign a prenup, it only seemed to confirm her worries.

    The 37-year-old reality star refused to listen to her mama and went forward with the wedding in spite of all the warnings.

    Despite reservations, Mama Joyce did attend the wedding and even offered the newlyweds a beautiful toast in front of family and friends at a reception following the wedding.

    The feud between Mama Joyce and her daughter over her son-in-law’s true intentions has played out on the Bravo show. Tucker tried to work things out with Mama Joyce, having numerous conversations on the show with his future mother-in-law.

    At one point, he asks Mama Joyce if she’s getting excited about her daughter’s wedding.

    Her response was a definitive NOT.

    Todd asked Mama Joyce why it has to be so difficult to communicate. “If it’s ‘Todd, I’m probably never going to like you,’ I can live with that. I didn’t stop liking you, I stopped respecting you,” she responded.

    “They’re together, but I’m out of their relationship,” Mama Joyce said in January. “It’s much healthier. I have rekindled a very healthy relationship with my daughter, and my granddaughter [Riley], and we are in a very good place…I pray and hope that I’m wrong about Todd.”

    The feud has even played out on shows like The View.


    Burruss is a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter and a former member of R&B group Xscape.

    The couple became engaged last January after meeting on the show in 2011.

    Burruss was engaged once before to the late A.J. Jewell, who was killed in a bar fight in 2009. She has an 11-year-old daughter, Riley, with ex-boyfriend Russell Spencer of Block Entertainment. This is the first marriage for both of them.

  • Kandi Burruss Defends Mama Joyce, Talks Todd Tucker Drama

    Last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was definitely one for the record books. However, most of the controversy wasn’t derived from any of the housewives. The drama award for Sunday night goes to none other than Kandi Burruss’ mother, ‘Mama Joyce’.

    It’s definitely quite blatant that the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter’s mother feels some kind of way, and the crux of the problem is Burruss’ fiance’, Todd Tucker. Now, for those who are avid fans of the Atlanta Housewives, it’s no secret that Mama Joyce isn’t one to hold back her opinion.

    She and Burruss’ have been at odds all season where the wedding plans are concerned as her mother is adamant about her disapproval of Tucker.

    Like most mothers, Mama Joyce is very protective of her daughter, with no intention of hiding any disdain, which is why she flew off the handle last night. For those who missed it, Mama Joyce and Burruss’ close friend Carmen got into a rather heated verbal altercation when she went to try on wedding dresses.

    Mama Joyce is under the distinct impression that Carmen has a high level of underlying jealousy where Burruss is concerned. She also hinted that rumors of Tucker’s alleged infidelity have been brought to their family by Burruss’ employees. But, here’s the kicker. It’s rumored that Tucker is secretly involved with Carmen.

    So, Mama Joyce definitely had no interest in entertaining the likes of Carmen. She also had no qualms about sharing her disapproval of everything with Burruss, and fans were appalled with the brash delivery of her message.

    So, when Burruss appeared on Watch What Happens Live, with R&B singer Fantasia, a burning question was asked. In so many words, a caller asked was Mama Joyce’s disapproval of her engagement about money? The caller wanted to know if her mother felt threatened by Tucker’s presence because she’d no longer have access to her money.

    According to S2S Magazine, the question caused Burruss to erupt, and she tearfully took the liberty of facing the issue dead-on in her mother’s defense.

    “I feel like as her daughter, it’s my job to make sure that she’s good. She made sure I was good growing up. I’m going to make sure that she’s good. I don’t care if she doesn’t like my relationship,” said Burruss tearfully.

    “That’s my mom. I don’t care what y’all have to say. That’s my mom. I’mma make sure that my mama’s good. She don’t have to talk to me. She don’t have to say anything to me,” explained Burruss. “Y’all can tweet. Y’all can do whatever…You can tweet to y’all get blue in the face. She can have whatever she want.”

    “I’m not agreeing with everything my mother says. Obviously, we disagree on a lot of things. It’s just the fact of I’m going to be respectful in the way that I tell her. No, she’s not respectful in the way she tell me how she feels,” she explained. “When I became the person who made more money, it did not make me her mama. She’s still my mama. I’m going to approach her in a certain way.”

    Burruss also addressed the status of her relationship with Tucker. The two are still engaged with plans to marry.

  • Kandi Burruss May Have Trouble In Paradise

    Real Housewives fans were happy to have their Atlanta ladies back.

    On Sunday, Season 6 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premiered, giving just a glimpse of what has been happening since last we saw the ladies.

    One surprise for many, including RHOA star Kandi Burruss, is the rumor her fiance, Todd Tucker, has been cheating. In a trailer for Season 6, Burruss’ mother, Mama Joyce, informs her that she heard rumors that Tucker has been out and about, cheating on Burruss.

    In the video below, around the 1:30 mark, you see Mama Joyce broach the subject of the cheating rumors. She tells both Tucker and Burress that she’s heard he’s been stepping out with Burruss’ friend Carmen.

    Now it’s a well-known fact that Mama Joyce is not a fan of Tucker, and she believes he is only with Burruss for personal gain. Burruss has tried and tried to convince her mother otherwise, but Mama Joyce still believes he isn’t worth Burruss’ time.

    Burruss’ response to her mother’s allegations of Tucker being an opportunist, “I wrote ‘No Scrubs’.’” (Burruss is the famous writer of the hit TLC song.)

    But is there any truth to the rumor? Burruss’ RHOA costar, Cynthia Bailey, believes it could just be other women wanting what Burruss has. “I think that when you are a successful woman and you have a lot going on, other women are attracted to your man. They’re like, ‘If you want him, maybe I should want him. It’s just the way it is. It’s only a matter of time before there are rumors that get out that say, ‘Oh, so and so said that she was with your man. We all go through that,” said Bailey.

    Bailey also believes Burruss should talk it out with Tucker before making any rash decisions. Bailey said, “The best advice I can give to Kandi and to anyone who has been phased with cheating rumors — because I’ve certainly been the victim of it as well — is to just ask the questions. Ask your man what’s going on and just kind of move on.”

    And in this world of social media and everyone seeking their 15 minutes of fame, it may be a bit hard to believe that Tucker is cheating on Burruss. Added Bailey, “That’s the beauty of social media: I would get that tweet in two seconds, so it’s kind of hard for these guys to really stray. Because usually the girls that would stray with a married man, or a committed man, they’re going to tell somebody.”

    So maybe, just maybe, this is just a rumor. Only time will tell.
