What Actually Ended Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s Marriage: The Timeline
Kandi Burruss’ ex-husband, Todd Tucker, is using their marriage and what happened inside it to craft a documentary. Surfaced footage from the project, Til Divorce Do Us Part, revealed intimate details of the sexual side of their marriage, including threesomes they engaged in for “most of their marriage.” While the footage shows other Real Housewives exes calling Tucker a “saint,” Real Housewives of Atlanta fans think the project is just a desperate bid for attention. Let’s take a look back at what the end of their marriage really looked like, at least the public side of it.
Kandi Burruss has said a 2025 incident changed everything with Todd Tucker
Kandi Burruss has been consistent that a specific incident in July 2025 is what changed everything for her. Speaking to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in February 2026, Kandi said plainly that July was when she knew she couldn’t continue in the marriage, describing it as “a specific situation” she declined to detail publicly.
While she stayed mostly quiet at that point, she’s become more vocal about what might have gone really wrong in the months since the admission. More recently, she’s hinted that cheating played a significant role in the end of her marriage, but has declined to go into detail about exactly what happened and who was involved. The admission carries new weight now, considering the way Todd has framed the threesomes they engaged in.
Signs of the fracture become visible on social media in the fall
While Kandi Burruss has since revealed that her marriage to Todd Tucker really ended in July 2025, the public signs of distress didn’t come until the fall of 2025. Around September 2025, fans began noticing quiet changes on social media. Kandi dropped “Tucker” from her social media handles and stopped wearing her wedding ring in public appearances.
Todd was notably absent when she received the Wifetime Achievement Award at BravoCon in November. Despite Todd being a no-show at the event, Kandi did mention him. She thanked him warmly in her speech.
Kandi Burruss filed for divorce from Todd Tucker in November 2025
While trouble had been brewing for months, Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker didn’t go public with their split until Kandi filed for divorce in November 2025. She issued a statement after the filing to acknowledge the end of their 11-year marriage. In her statement, she cited “deep thought and a lot of prayer” behind the decision, emphasizing a focus on protecting her peace and co-parenting well.
Days later, in an Amazon Live session, she acknowledged the split had been “brewing for a while” and admitted she’d been struggling privately for some time despite appearing fine online. Despite the admission, the divorce seemed to be moving along well, and the split appeared publicly amicable. The former flames focused on co-parenting their children, Ace and Blaze, while the divorce played out in court. They even vacationed together.
The divorce was settled in March
A settlement was reached in mid-March. The reality TV personalities hammered out a parenting plan and child support details before the divorce was signed off on by a judge. Kandi and Todd agreed to joint physical and legal custody of Ace and Blaze, and Kandi agreed to pay Tucker a lump sum of roughly $426,000, in lieu of ongoing child support or spousal support.
In the months since finalization, both have spoken openly about the end of the marriage. Kandi Burruss launched her stage show I Do, I Did, I’m Done, and Todd was quietly toiling away on Til Divorce Do Us Part. They have still remained amicable for the sake of co-parenting, but Todd’s decision to share their bedroom decisions with the public could change that.
