‘He Looks Like Riley’s Twin’: Kandi Burruss’ Son Grabs Fans’ Eye Even When He’s in ‘Where’s Waldo’ Costume

Even though he’s in costume, Kandi Burruss’ son still looks a lot like his older sister, according to the star’s fans.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star’s son, whom she shares with husband Todd Tucker, posed for a photo wearing a “Where’s Waldo?” hat and glasses.

The pic was snapped as part of a new DreamWorks animated series about the well-known British book series, which is airing on Universal Kids. It appears little Ace got a promotional costume to wear.

“He looks like Riley. To Adorable.”

“Adorable!! He resembles Riley in this pic to me.”

“He looks just like Riley. So cute.”

“😍Too precious looking like @rileyburruss.”

“He really looks like Riley in these pictures ❤️❤️”

This is not the first time Instagram users have marveled over how much 3-year-old Ace resembles his 16-year-old big sis.

Back in September, a photo Burruss shared of her posing with Ace at an event made fans instantly remark about Ace being Riley’s much younger twin.

“Omg… it’s a mini Riley😍😍”

“Gosh he looks like Riley’s twin 🤩🤩”

“Wow! He is such a cutie, and looks just like Riley!😍”

“Wow he looks like Riley”

But young Ace has also been likened to another member of the family.

It seems the Burruss side of the family has strong genes, as fans have also said the preschooler looks like his mama, too. Last month, a throwback photo Burruss posted to Instagram of when she was a baby made fans reflect on the way Ace looks like his celebrity mom did as an infant.

“Ace is your spitting image.”

“Oh I see Ace in these photos! Soooo adorable.”

“You’re son looks like your twin Kandi.”

And the family resemblance continues even past Burruss. A photo the star uploaded of her late brother in honor of his birthday in October 2018 had her followers believing Ace took on his uncle’s face.

“Ace is his twin. RIH Patrick! Happy birthday library twin!”

“Ace looks like your brother 😍too.”

“Your little boy is so like him.”

“This is what ur son will look like when he reaches his uncle’s age. Continue to RIH.”

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.
