URGENT UPDATE: Kandi Burruss is opening up about her emotional struggles as she navigates her divorce from estranged husband Todd Tucker. In a heartfelt Instagram Reel shared on December 3, 2023, Burruss, 49, candidly reveals the hidden sadness she has been experiencing during this difficult time.
In her post, Burruss shares images of her smiling with family and friends but contrasts these moments with her internal battles. “This is what I look like when I’m going through something,” she wrote, emphasizing her ability to appear strong while feeling “emotionally broken.” She continued, “I internalize and deal with it alone,” highlighting the often unseen struggles that many face.
This revelation comes shortly after Burruss announced her split from Tucker, 52, on November 21, confirming to Us Weekly that they had ended their marriage after 11 years. On the same day, she filed for divorce, marking the start of a public and emotional legal battle over their two children, Ace, 9, and Blaze, 6.
Tucker has since filed court documents demanding primary custody, prompting Burruss to change her request from joint custody to sole custody. “After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce,” she stated, underscoring her focus on “protecting my peace” and co-parenting “with love and respect.”
Burruss has been candid about the ups and downs she faces during this challenging transition. During an Amazon Live broadcast on November 24, she shared, “I’m gonna be very honest with you, I am up and down. Obviously, going through a divorce is definitely not the easiest thing.”
Her emotional journey was further illustrated during the Thanksgiving holiday, where she documented a family gathering on Instagram. She clarified that although Tucker was present for the meal, he was not included in a family photo, emphasizing the complexities of their current relationship.
As Burruss continues to navigate this painful chapter, she encourages others to “check on your strong friend because you never know what they are going through.” Her poignant message resonates as many can relate to the hidden struggles that accompany personal challenges.
This developing story highlights the emotional toll of divorce and the importance of mental health awareness. As Burruss focuses on her family and career, she remains grateful for the support she has received over the years.
