During that low point, he admits to confronting a dark impulse. He looked at his gun during moments of deep despair, an image he later shares in his upcoming series to underscore how close he came to a breaking point.
Children and co-parenting remain the priority
Family anchors Tucker’s decisions. He and Burruss share two young children. Both also have adult daughters from previous relationships.
- Ace — son, 10
- Blaze — daughter, 6
- Kaela Tucker — adult daughter, 30 (Todd’s)
- Riley Burruss — adult daughter, 24 (Kandi’s)
Tucker stresses that, despite anger or hurt, they set disagreements aside for their kids. He says he misses his family and still honors the vows he made, even while accepting the divorce.
Rebuilding: faith, therapy, and a public confession
In recent months, Tucker has leaned on church and plans to see a therapist. He describes this time as the start of rebuilding himself. His goal is to be a better dad and co-parent.
He chose to document the process in a personal project titled Til Divorce Do Us Part. Tucker says filming helped him process grief and reach other men who bottle up emotions.
Advice he wants men to hear
- Talk to someone before emotions become physical ailments.
- Seek therapy when stress feels unmanageable.
- Share burdens instead of masking them with silence.
Inside the docuseries and the cast of confidants
Previews of Til Divorce Do Us Part show Tucker in deep conversations with male friends. Many have ties to The Real Housewives of Atlanta. He framed the project as his answer to public narratives about their marriage.
He also announced a double-feature premiere. The event will pair his docuseries with a new film, Don’t Bring Your Man to Atlanta, during an AMC weekend takeover.
Sex-life revelations and the public argument over privacy
One trailer moment sparked headlines: a discussion about threesomes. When asked if those encounters were true, Tucker confirmed they had happened at points in their marriage.
Kandi publicly criticized him for airing intimate details. She argued what happens behind closed doors should stay private. Tucker counters that many such stories were already part of public conversations. He points to Burruss’s past talk show segments and her Bedroom Kandi brand as examples of her sharing personal aspects of their life.
His stance: he did not introduce new allegations or name others. He says he merely responded to questions raised in conversation.
The moment that changed everything
Tucker hints that a specific incident involving another woman helped trigger the split. He says he tried to address deeper relationship problems, not just immediate hurts.
Friends urged small gestures like flowers. He decided the issues went far beyond tokens. He proposed therapy and hoped to tackle the core problems together.
But when he felt Kandi wasn’t willing to fight for the marriage, he stepped back and agreed to the divorce.
Reality TV, in-law dynamics, and emotional boundaries
Tucker believes reality television contributed to strain on their marriage. The public nature of their lives added pressure.
He also names tensions with Kandi’s mother as a source of stress. He says he tolerated disrespect for years while trying to build family bonds. Now he feels a sense of relief that the dynamic has changed.
Work, wellness, and what’s next
Todd plans to continue producing films and projects. He says he will remain publicly visible long enough to tell his side, then step back.
On dating, he says he’s not ready. He needs time to heal and prepare to be emotionally available for someone new.
