Kandi Burruss Shoots Down Rumors She’s Pregnant, Remains Open To Expanding Family

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kandi Burruss let fans know the rumors about her being pregnant are false. On Tuesday, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star sat down with Essence magazine. Burruss admitted to wanting to expand her family of three children with husband Todd Tucker. Burruss told the magazine, “We’re definitely trying to figure out ways to grow our family.” She then clarified, “I know a lot of people thought that meant that I was pregnant. But I’m not pregnant. Let’s be clear. I saw that floating around the internet.”

The singer then opens up about trying to get pregnant, “Unfortunately, it’s not happening.” She explained that she will be discussing her fertility issues in the shows upcoming season, “So obviously we’re just going to be talking about what that means for our family.”

Burruss and Tucker’s household includes two daughters from previous relationships and their 2-year-old son Ace Wells Tucker they had together. She told Essence, “You know how we all just think it’s easy? You’re going to get pregnant whenever you feel like it?” She continued, “For years and years, I was on birth control [and I] didn’t even know that I didn’t need it any more.”

The rumors about Burruss began to really pick up steam when the “RHOA” fan account shared a video of Burruss revealing that she and her husband Tucker are considering expanding their family.

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.
