Kandi Burruss‘ daughter Blaze Tucker reached a major milestone in her life. The youngster recently turned 7 months old and celebrated her big day with a birthday photo shoot. Blaze seems to be growing up so fast, and the proud mother of three couldn’t wait to share her heart-warming photos with the world.

The reality star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” posted a series of photos on Instagram on June 25 that showed Baby Blaze wearing a pink jumpsuit and a floral headband. In one image, the young star struck her pose by grinning at the camera. Blaze sat on a white floor while the pastel-colored props radiated in the background. Kandi revealed in her caption that her shoot was originally scheduled to honor her daughter turning 6 months old but that photo shoot was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The adorable images earned the baby girl numerous compliments about her beautiful appearance and a few remarks about her resemblance to Kandi. One user wrote, “😍😍 she’s so gorgeous kandi!!,” followed by another that said, “Your whole twin!! 😍.”

Kandi and her husband, former “RHOA” television producer Todd Tucker, are parents to Blaze, but the two did not conceive their bundle of joy the traditional way. Blaze made her debut in the world on Nov. 22 via surrogate.

The Xscape alum revealed on her hit reality show that she suffered from infertility issues. She and Todd had their first son together, Ace Wells Tucker, in 2016, but the journey for her to become pregnant was anything but easy. Kandi explained that she underwent multiple in-vitro fertilization procedures before becoming pregnant with Ace. Kandi has a 17-year-old daughter, Riley Burruss, from a previous relationship with Russell Spencer, the founder of the Block Enterprises record label. Todd also has a 23-year-old daughter, Kaela Tucker, from a prior relationship.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
