‘Very Loving’: Fans Eat Up Cute Bonding Moment Between Kandi Burruss’s Teen Daughter and Toddler Son

An endearing moment between Kandi Burruss’s two children has fans gushing with delight.

Burruss and her 16-year-old daughter Riley Burruss accompanied Burruss’s youngest son Ace Wells Tucker to his t-ball practice Monday, April 15.

The clip begins with Burruss asking her 3-year-old how he enjoyed his first round of practice. Then, Riley and her mom ask Ace, whose father is Burruss’ husband Todd Tucker, if he thinks he’ll enjoy baseball and if he believes he’ll be the best.

“Yes!” Ace responds one by one to their questions.

“You gon’ make some money?” Riley asks her kid brother.

“Yes!” he says. “For you, Riley!”

“For me?” she replies. “You gon’ make money for me?”

“And for Mommy,” Ace answers.

“You’re gonna make money for all of us? Wow, thank you!” says Riley

“Thank you, Acey-poo!” Burruss says before Ace says he’ll be nice to them and warns his sister to be careful as they walk across the gravel.

The sweet exchange compelled Ace’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star mom to share it with her fans that night.

“My baby @acewellstucker said he’s gonna take care of us! ❤️ he’s the sweetest,” Burruss captioned the video.

Burruss’ followers eagerly responded to the cuteness between older sister and younger brother.

“Awww he’s such a sweetie.”

“he has a good heart. he wasn’t thinking about himself just his big sister and family. so sweet!”

“Awww he’s so sweet! I ❤️ it”

“Omg!!!!!! Soooo cute!!!! U raising him well clearly!!!!!! Very loving 🥰”

While the bond between Riley and Ace is apparent, that doesn’t mean Riley is too keen on her mom adding any more children to the brood.

During the “RHOA” season 11 premiere, Riley made it clear she disapproved of Burruss and Tucker expanding the family, which also includes Tucker’s daughter 21-year-old, Kaela Tucker.

“You work too much … I know I get sad when you just come back for like, a day or two, and then leave back out,” she told her mom and stepdad when Burruss said they had two female embryos still frozen.

Regardless, the singer is forging ahead with adding to the clan, and she is certain Riley will come around.

“We decided we want to get a surrogate,” Burruss told Us Weekly in November 2018. “I can tell you that we did find someone, and right now we are in the process — you know it hasn’t been done — but we’re in the process.

“Riley’s like ‘you don’t need to have any more kids’ but she said that when we had Ace and now she’s in love with Ace,” the “RHOA” star added. “And now she’s in love with Ace.”

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.
