‘She’s a Perfect Mix Between You All’: Fans Argue That Blaze Tucker Favors Both Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker

At just 7 months old, Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker‘s daughter Blaze Tucker appears to be a daddy’s girl. Kandi, a reality star on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” proudly showed off Blaze and Tucker’s tight-knit relationship in a photo she shared to Instagram on Thursday, July 9.

In the image, the former television producer is holding his daughter in what appeared to be their kitchen. Todd’s outfit of that day consisted of a black-and-white striped shirt, while his daughter sported an orange onesie. Baby Blaze looked so adorable as she smiled wide for the photo and touched her father’s beard with one hand. The youngster, whose natural curls were running wild, flaunted her two baby teeth.

It’s unclear why Blaze placed her hand near Todd’s mouth, but Kandi came up with her own reasoning in her caption. “Get away from me with that Covid mask breath Daddy! 🤣🤣🤣. Thats my caption for what @blazertucker is thinking,” she wrote. “What’s yours?”

Almost instantly, fans gravitated toward the image and described their theories behind Blaze’s posture, explaining that Blaze didn’t want any kisses until the pandemic was over. However, some people couldn’t get over how much Blaze seems to favor her parents. Someone commented underneath the image: “She’s a perfect mix between you all😍.” But others claimed the little one is a spitting image of the singer-songwriter, writing, “Kandi’s twin💕.”

On Nov. 22, Blaze made her entrance into the world via surrogate, and the couple couldn’t wait to bring her home. Todd decorated and designed an elaborate nursery for his baby girl upon her arrival. Kandi explained on her reality show that she suffered from infertility issues and was unable to get pregnant the third time around. With the help of multiple in-vitro fertilization procedures, Kandi was able to carry her and Todd’s first son together, Ace Wells Tucker, in 2016. Both Kandi and Todd have older daughters from prior relationships.

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.
