The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss and her ex-husband Todd Tucker have reached a settlement in their divorce, marking the end of a contentious chapter that began with their split announcement in November 2025.
On March 11, 2026, the pair filed notice of their full and final agreement with the Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia, according to multiple reports from outlets.
Divorce Final for Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker
The settlement followed months of negotiations, including disputes over custody of their two young children: son Ace, now 9, and daughter Blaze, now 6.
Court documents indicate that the agreement includes a detailed parenting plan and child support arrangements, though specific terms regarding custody and financial support remain private and sealed from public view.
A judge ordered the submission of final paperwork—including a judgment, parenting plan addendum, child support worksheet, and related documents—by March 20, 2026, to formalize the dissolution.
While official details on asset division and custody are not disclosed, unverified reports circulating in media and social platforms have speculated on the financial aspects.
These include claims that Burruss paid Tucker a one-time settlement of around $2 million, transferred full control of their joint restaurant ventures (such as Old Lady Gang and Blaze Steak & Seafood) to him, and agreed to monthly child support payments potentially in the range of $10,000 to $25,000.
These reports remain unconfirmed by court records or statements from the parties involved, and much of the agreement appears protected under their existing prenuptial agreement, which reportedly shielded significant portions of Burruss’s assets.
Both Burruss and Tucker have emphasized a commitment to positive co-parenting for the sake of their children.
In her initial November 2025 statement to People, Burruss described the decision to divorce as one made “after deep thought and a lot of prayer,” stressing her focus on protecting her peace, being the best mother possible, and co-parenting with love and respect.
The couple, who met on the set of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2011, married in 2014, and built a blended family (Burruss has an older daughter, Riley, 23, from a previous relationship, and Tucker has a daughter, Kaela, 29), navigated the end of their 11-year marriage amid public scrutiny.
As she closes this chapter, Burruss is channeling her experiences into her next creative endeavor: a one-woman show titled I Do. I Did. I’m Done. The intimate performance, blending music, storytelling, and candid reflections, is scheduled for a single night on April 27, 2026, at City Winery Atlanta.
Tickets are available starting at $78, and the show promises an unfiltered look at her journey through three chapters—symbolizing commitment, experience, and moving forward.
Promotional materials describe it as a personal, stage-only event where she shares her story “her way,” suggesting it may touch on recent life events in a therapeutic, artistic format.
The divorce settlement represents a swift resolution compared to the initial tensions, which included custody petitions and financial disagreements. With the legal process nearing completion, both parties appear poised to prioritize their children’s well-being and individual paths ahead.
Final Word
Fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Burruss’s multifaceted career as a Grammy-winning songwriter, entrepreneur, and performer will likely watch closely as she steps into this new era.
