‘My Heart Exploded’: Kandi Burruss’ 4-Year-Old Son Spends Sibling Time with Infant Sister and Leaves Fans Gushing

It looks like Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker‘s son Ace Tucker is already adapting to his role as a big brother.

On Tuesday, March 24, the cast member from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” posted a video of 4-year-old Ace sitting on the floor with his 4-month-old sister Blaze Tucker, who was sitting in a support seat for infants. Then baby Blaze took her big brother’s finger as he watched a kid’s show on his tablet.

He kindly said to his baby sister, “Let go of my hand,” before they both began watching television on his tablet again. Burruss seemed to adore the sweet moment of her two children spending time together. She wrote in her Instagram caption, “They love each other! @blazetucker @acetucker #siblings ❤️❤️ #4monthsold #4yearsold”

Like the proud mother of three, fans also swooned over her post.

“This has to be the cutest thing all day! I remember when my youngest was like 3 months old and my son had to be about 3. He came to me one day and was like mom I love Trinity, let’s keep her. Warmed my heart. lol 🖤🖤”

“Awwwww I think my heart just exploded! 🥰 she holding his finger #bro & sis love #priceless”

Burruss and her husband Todd share both Ace and Blaze together. They each have an older daughter from a previous relationship.

They welcomed their newest addition to the family via surrogacy in late November and didn’t reveal her identity until December. In Burruss’ first IG post of her newborn daughter she wrote, “Our little angel is doing well! She was born yesterday 11-22-19 at 6:54pm. 8lbs & 1oz! Her name is Blaze Tucker. Thank you to everyone for the love & well wishes! She’s gonna Blaze a path to greatness! @blazetucker is our newest heartbeat”

Through their surrogate, Burruss and her husband initially were pregnant with twins, but she told People magazine in November that one of the embryos was lost.

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.
