Kandi Burruss Praises Ace After Husband Todd Tucker Posts Cute ‘Bootleg’ T-Ball Clip

Kandi Burruss can’t stop gushing over her youngest child, Ace Wells Tucker. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star ate up a cute video her husband Todd Tucker posted of their son playing an improvised version of T-ball.

“@acewellstucker is ready for T-Ball,” Tucker captioned the Tuesday, July 24 video. “Daddy Daycare bootleg T-Ball. If you ain’t got it, then make it!”

In the video, Tucker gets his 2-year-old son to get his stance together before asking him to give his knees “a little bend.” Then, the moment of truth comes when Ace hits the ball — and the tee — as the ball hurls toward the camera. While dad reacts with an enthusiastic “woah!” it seems to take Ace a few seconds to appreciate his work. But soon enough, a smile sweeps across the toddler’s face before he races off to grab the ball.

“He’s ready!” Burruss eagerly commented.

Others were just as moved by the sweet sports moment between father and son.

“Ace got a swing y’all playing ….. get ’em Ace.”

“Baseball player in the making.”

“Go Todd make something out of anything!”

“I’m telling Kandi playing ball in the house. Lololol too cute.”

It seems Burruss’ and Tucker’s son has a lot of skills going for him. If a professional baseball career doesn’t pan out, he could become a translator using the skills he picked up at his international school. Burruss bragged on her son last month when he was counting from 1 to 10 in Mandarin.

“Check out my little Ace learning how to count in Mandarin,” Burruss wrote on Instagram in June. “He goes to an international school & they start teaching the children at age 2. Half the school day is with his teacher that speaks to him in Mandarin & the other half of the day is in English. He loves the school! @acewellstucker.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
