ATLANTA — Former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, have filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.
“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect,” Burruss told People Magazine in a statement on Monday.
The two first met during the fourth season of the hit Bravo show, which aired in 2011, and Burruss and Tucker wed in 2014.
The couple has two children together. Each also has kids from previous marriages.
