Kandi Burruss isn’t letting her divorce hinder her family’s holiday plans.
After spending Thanksgiving with her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum revealed she and her ex will reunite again for Christmas. Kandi shared the news in her December 15 Amazon Live stream, just several weeks into her divorce process.

“Y’all already know I’m going through a divorce, but we have decided that we’re still gonna do Christmas together, even though we have all this mess going on right now,” she said before referencing her and Todd’s 9-year-old son, Ace Tucker, and 6-year-old daughter, Blaze Tucker. “We’re still gonna do it together for our kids. And, so, we are spending Christmas in New York. Does anybody have any suggestions of something fun we can do while the kids are here?… The kids are super excited.”

Elsewhere in the stream, a fan asked Kandi what was on her 2025 Christmas list. The Grammy winner immediately sat back for a few seconds with a puzzled expression.
“I was about to say a divorce, but that doesn’t sound quite festive,” she finally answered with a laugh. “What is on my Christmas list? Honestly, I haven’t really thought about anything to get myself. I’m always thinking about what I’m gonna get everybody else… I have no clue.”
Kandi Burruss shares an update on her “really dope” Broadway gig
It’s no surprise Kandi hasn’t given much thought to her Christmas list. Not only is she in the early stages of a divorce, but she’s also starring in Broadway’s & Juliet, a jukebox musical based on the William Shakespeare play Romeo & Juliet. Kandi will play Angélique through March 2026.
“It is a phenomenal musical… the dancing is amazing, the singing is amazing,” she said in her stream. “It’ just a really, really dope show.”
Although Kandi had previously described the Broadway gig as “healing,” she confessed that it hasn’t been easy, as the production schedule has caused her to miss a few family moments.
“I was super sad yesterday, because my daughter Blaze had her dance recital,” the Atlanta mom recalled. “And she was like, ‘Mommy, I want you to come to my dance recital.’ I said, ‘I know! I want to be there, too, but I gotta [do] the show the same time as your show.’… Blaze is my little twin. She did really good. Everybody sent me videos.”
