Riley Burruss Details "Hard Time" of Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker Split

Kandi Burruss Shares Update on Coparenting With Estranged Husband Todd Tucker

Riley Burruss shared how the next phase of her parents' relationship has impacted her.

The Next Gen NYC star—whose first Bravo appearance was on The Real Housewives of Atlanta with mom Kandi Burruss—gave an update on how the record producer's divorce from Todd Tucker after 11 years of marriage hasn't been easy.

"A lot of people forget the fact that yes, a divorce happens between two people, but it affects more than just those two people," Riley told Talia Parkinson-Jones during a July 10 visit to Today on Sirius XM. "So it is really hard for me. I had a hard time."

Riley—who learned of her mom and stepdad's Nov. 21 split while filming the second season of the Bravo kids' spinoff costarring Brooks Marks and Gia Giuidice—said the life change has led to a "year of adapting."

"It's tough at times, it's easy at times," Riley continued. "It's confusing. I'm still learning, honestly."

As such, the 23-year-old has turned to Kandi for guidance on how to handle the new normal for their family, which includes siblings Ace, 10, Blaze, 6 and Kaela, 28 (from Todd's previous marriage), as well as Riley's dad Russell "Block" Spencer. Plus, who could forget Kandi's mother Mama Joyce Jones?

"I've learned from my mom that there are a lot of things that she protects in herself and how strong she is, how courageous [she is]," Riley said of the Xscape artist on the radio. "Because all of this stuff I didn't even know. She wants to protect me the most she can. So being able to do that for your children is just a powerful thing."

For her part, Kandi has admitted the breakup—settled in March 2026—was a natural end to their story.

"This is something that has been brewing for a while," Kandi confessed in an Amazon Livestream the same month she and Todd announced their separation. "I’ve been going through it, child. I’ve been going through it. Life has been life-ing me.”

And the RHOA alums are far from the only reality TV couple to call it quits. Keep reading for more marriages that ended after the cameras went down.
