Kandi Burruss has been living her best life following her divorce from Todd Tucker. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and her ex-husband officially divorced in March 2026, and she is sharing major updates on her life now.
Kandi spoke to USA Today at the Ebony Power 100 Awards on Nov. 9, where she shared that life’s been “pretty good” for her. “I’ve been doing well,” she said in a clip posted to Instagram. “I’ve had a lot of great things happen in the past few years.”
She added about her split, “And to be honest with you, I’m kind of glad it happened while I wasn’t on the show. Because this was like the hardest year that I’ve ever had to deal with in adulthood, I think. And that is something I’m glad I didn’t have to do on camera.”

Speaking of the “great things” going on in Kandi’s life, those pertain to her career and beyond. “I just recently got nominated for the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, so that is like, the most amazing thing that could ever happen to me,” she said. “I mean, I was in tears when I found out about that nomination, so I’m super excited about that.”
“But since stepping away from the show, I’ve produced more Broadway shows. I broke records with some of the shows that I’ve produced on Broadway. I got the Wifetime Achievement Award last year [at BravoCon]; that was great. And then I was also on Broadway last year performing,” she continued. “And then the only thing that happened that was crazy, I got divorced during that time.”
In addition to all of that, Kandi has also been busy celebrating her loved ones and hasn’t missed the opportunity to show her love and support for her inner circle.
