‘Scandalous’: Todd Tucker Leaves Fans in a Frenzy After Sharing a Throwback Pic With Oldest Daughter

Something doesn’t seem to be adding up in Todd Tucker‘s latest Instagram post. On Thursday, May 7, the reality star of “The Real Housewives of Atlantaposted a throwback photo that showed him hanging out with Kaela Tucker, his oldest daughter. Todd Tucker, Kandi Burruss‘ husband, explained on season 11 of “RHOA” that he did not meet Kaela until she was older, leading fans to believe that Todd Tucker was not telling the truth.

In the photo, a young Todd Tucker was standing behind Kaela. His daughter wore a pink shirt with a flower embellished in the center. Posing beside Todd Tucker and Kaela, were Tucker’s oldest brother and niece. The two men wore baggy jeans and what appeared to be pairs of Air Jordan 2 Retros. Tucker suggested in his caption that the two brothers were watching their children. He wrote: “Take a look at young Daddy Daycare.”

Although Tucker was reminiscing about his blast from the past, fans gave the impression that they were more concerned about his relationship with his daughter now.

“Dear God it doesn’t hurt to mention your daughter in the pic also!??? Wtf Todd do you really hate your actually blood child…God I wonder how you’d be with Riley if Kandi wasn’t around. Not cool.”

“I thought he didn’t meet her until she was almost grown 🤦🏽‍♀️🤔🤔.”

“I’m like… shoe game… Ain’t that your baby girl looking adorable?!?! Smh I really don’t understand their relationship at ALL!!!! 🤷🏽‍♀️.”

“Wait I thought u found out about her when she was a teenager…..????”

“But I thought he found out about his daughter on the show… when she was older?”

“This is so scandalous.”

Tucker and Burruss tied the knot in 2014 and have two children together. Their son, Ace Wells Tucker, was born two years after the pair got married. The husband-wife pair welcomed their daughter Blaze Tucker via surrogate in November 2019. The 23-year-old Kaela is Tucker’s daughter from a previous relationship. Burruss has an older daughter, Riley Burruss, from an earlier relationship as well.

Kaela Tucker was introduced on the show as Todd Tucker’s daughter a few seasons ago. Tucker and Burruss opened up about the struggles of raising a blended family during season 12 of “RHOA.” The two sat down with a marriage counselor, and Burruss hinted that Tucker is a stern parent. She insinuated that the couple got into a disagreement over Kaela’s birthday, claiming that Tucker wanted to plan his daughter’s event instead of letting Kaela decide what she wanted to do for her big day.

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.
