Single No More – Kandi Burruss is Engaged to Boyfriend Todd Tucker

Posted byBy Monique Davis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kandi Burruss is engaged to music producer boyfriend Todd Tucker. He went big with the 2-carat Gregg Ruth diamond ring. Kandi said she was “totally surprised” by the proposal but anyone watching ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ this season knows that it was only a matter of time before Tucker proposed. The happy couple recently bought a home together in the suburbs of Atlanta and although Todd said he wanted to take it slow, viewers (like me) could certainly infer that he would propose any day now.

We wonder if Kenya Moore will be among the first to congratulate Kandi or if she is secretly at home sulking and sticking pins in a Walter voodoo doll. After all, as we’ve seen on the show, any time someone else gets engaged or married the former Ms. U.S.A. manages to talk about how it ‘should have been her’. And once again…it’s not.

Todd surprised his future wife-to-be with a proposal on New Year’s Day during a get-together at the couple’s home. Kandi said she was “totally surprised”…”I used to make jokes with my friends that I [was] part of the Forever Single Club. That’s what I said before, but now I’m totally different.”

Hmm…there’s an opening for someone else to join the Forever Single Club and I hear Kenya’s available. A match made in heaven, right?

Digressing…

In a touching and gentlemanly move, Todd made sure to consult with Kandi’s 10-year old daughter Riley before he popped the question. Of course, Riley gave her blessing. ‘Atlanta Housewives’ fans have seen the 10-year old fiercely protect her mother this season and with good reason. Kandi was engaged to the late Ashley “AJ” Jewell before he was murdered in an altercation outside of a club a few years ago. Audiences saw how devastated Kandi and her daughter were over the loss.

However, it seems as though the pair have bounced back nicely with Todd in their lives and the family is moving forward.

No date has been set for the nuptials, but the pair does have a few in mind. Also, the happy couple is unsure if they will allow their wedding to be filmed for ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ show. Until then, Todd and Kandi are happily enjoying their new engagement and figuring out the details as they go.

Congratulations to them both!

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
