In a stunning development shaking the entertainment world, Grammy-winning singer, entrepreneur, and reality TV star Kandi Burruss has quietly filed for divorce from her husband Todd Tucker, according to a newly uncovered divorce petition filed in Fulton County Superior Court on November 21, 2025. The filing was made under her married legal name, K. Lenice Tucker.

This means their separation had already been in effect for several months before Kandi filed the paperwork—suggesting that the marital issues had been ongoing behind the scenes.
The petition confirms that the couple shares two minor children, and Kandi is requesting:
The filing emphasizes that the children have always lived with both parents and that no other custody claims or competing legal actions exist.
Child support, she notes, should be determined under Georgia’s official guidelines.
One of the most significant revelations is Kandi’s insistence that the court enforce the prenuptial agreement she and Todd signed prior to their 2014 wedding.

Kandi requests that both parties be responsible for their own attorney fees—a sign that she may be aiming for a streamlined, minimally contentious resolution.
Her attorney on record is Adamma McKinnon, Esq., a respected Atlanta family law practitioner.
While the filing was submitted discreetly under her legal married name, its discovery is already sending shockwaves through:
Kandi and Todd—who married in 2014, built multiple businesses together, and became one of reality TV’s most profitable brands—have not yet issued public statements about the divorce.
Given Kandi’s stature as a major figure in music, television, hospitality, and investment ventures, the split could have significant personal and business implications.
Todd Tucker will now be formally served and given the opportunity to file a response. The court may then schedule hearings to address:
