Todd Tucker is telling his side of the story. In a candid interview tied to his forthcoming docuseries Til Divorce Do Us Part, the producer and former Real Housewives of Atlanta fixture detailed the isolation that followed his split from Kandi Burruss, addressed her public frustration over comments about their sex life, and described the relief of no longer having her mother, Mama Joyce Jones, as a daily presence.
The couple married in April 2014 after meeting on Season 4 of RHOA. They share son Ace, 10, and daughter Blaze, 6, and each has an adult daughter from a previous relationship. Burruss announced she was moving forward with divorce in November 2025; they settled in March 2026 with joint legal and physical custody.
Isolation, dark thoughts, and rebuilding
Tucker, 53, said that after the separation he stayed in the guesthouse on the property while his family was next door. The alone time was heavy. “It was a lot of time in my head, thinking, trying to figure out, ‘What did I just do? What just happened? Did I lose my family?’ So I’m gonna be honest, I had nobody really to lean on,” he told Page Six.
Kandi Burruss asks Todd Tucker to stop ‘sensationalizing’ their sex life.
He reiterated a moment he also discusses in the docuseries: during especially painful stretches, he “looked at [his] gun.” He said he snapped out of it by focusing on his children. “No, you have a family. You have kids that you have to see them through.” He has been attending church and plans to start therapy as he works on “rebuilding myself” and being the best co-parent he can.

Tucker framed the project as his counterpart to Burruss’s “I Do. I Did. I’m Done.” tour. He said men often carry stress until it becomes a health crisis, and he wanted to model getting it out without bashing anyone. After this, he said, he plans to fade from the conversation and focus on films and other projects.
The threesome comments
A trailer moment that drew Burruss’s sharp response showed RHOA alum Peter Thomas asking Tucker about threesomes. Tucker replied that they had, “for most of our marriage.” Burruss later said he was “choosing to sensationalize [their] sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame” and that what happens between spouses is private.
Tucker pushed back. He noted that Burruss had spoken about their intimate life on RHOA, on Kandi Koated Nights, and through her Bedroom Kandi line—often without consulting him first. “I’m not throwing out there any new information,” he said. “It was just a conversation.” He asked rhetorically how private their marital sex life could be after years of her own public comments.
What ended the marriage, according to Todd
Tucker was vague about the specific “incident” involving another woman that he says led Burruss to end things; he said he will elaborate in the docuseries. Friends suggested flowers. He said the problems were bigger than that and set up therapy. In his view, she wanted the immediate issue fixed first; he wanted to address the overall relationship. When he felt she was not willing to fight for it with him, he “bowed out.” He added that he had made vows to stay foreverand would have done so.1
He does not fully blame reality television but said it “played a part.” On co-parenting, he said they put anger aside for the kids and that there is “never any tension” when it comes to Ace and Blaze
Mama Joyce and the “weight lifted”
Tucker said he “allowed a lot of disrespect” from Burruss’s mother, Mama Joyce, over the years while trying to prove himself to someone who did not like him. Not having her directly in his life now “feels like a weight lifted off his shoulders.” He still encourages the children to stay connected to their grandmother.
He is not dating. He said he needs time to get himself together before he can be a good partner to someone else.
Tucker is premiering the docuseries alongside his film Don’t Bring Your Man to Atlanta at an AMC Theatres event next month. After years of being labeled on Housewives without speaking much, he said he simply wanted to be heard—then go quiet.
The public back-and-forth continues a very public chapter for two people who built a blended family, businesses, and a long on-camera life together. Tucker’s version emphasizes loneliness, accountability to his kids, and the right to tell his side. Burruss has emphasized privacy, peace, and that his recent comments confirmed her decision to leave. Both say the children come first.
