‘That’s Awesome:’ Kandi Burruss Shows Off Son’s Latest ‘Smartie’ Moment on Instagram

Kandi Burruss’ son Ace Wells Tucker continues to impress the star’s followers with his smarts.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star on Tuesday uploaded a clip of her 2-year-old son practicing his sight words with dad Todd Tucker.

“What’s this word?” Tucker asks his son.

“Put!” Ace responds.

“Give me a sentence,” his dad asks.

“Hey, put your toys away!” Ace says as his parents praise him and hand him a cookie for his efforts.

“Good job, Acey-poo!” proud mom Burruss says from behind the camera.

She also captioned the video writing, “My favorite guys are going over @acewellstucker’s sight words for the week. @todd167 you’re pretty good at this @daddiescare thing! ❤️❤️❤️ #DaddiesCare.”

The star indicated the practice session was part of Tucker’s new foundation, Daddies Care, which aims to “foster opportunities and create events for fathers to build meaningful relationships with their children,” according to the organization’s Instagram bio.

Fans also eagerly praised the toddler, who attends an international school.

“Our kiddos are very smart I believe teaching them at home first is the best!!!”

“Ace the test smartie adorable.”

“He is a lil version of his big sister all over again just in male form! Lol CUTE & SMART!!!💯💯💯😍”

“That’s awesome!! I’ve always wanted to do this with my kids. He’s got the best parents!! Good job y’all!”

“Too cute……Teach them young. I love it 😊”

“Now das what I’m talking about!!!!! Some sentences!!! Good job parents👏”

While Ace’s smarts are impressive, the tot is simply continuing his tradition of showing off his intelligence on the ‘gram. During the summer, Burruss shared a clip of Ace counting to 10 in Mandarin.

“Check out my little Ace learning how to count in Mandarin,” the Xscape singer wrote at the time. “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!”

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.
