Kandi Burruss is done letting the rumor mill spin. After days of speculation about a supposed split between her and husband Todd Tucker, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star has stepped forward to set the record straight:
In true Kandi fashion, she approached the situation with honesty and calm, making it clear that fans were blowing things way out of proportion. “I’ll always be open and transparent,” she said, reminding everyone that she’s never been the type to sugarcoat her reality. If something was wrong, she’d say it — and right now, she insists she and Todd are
Kandi did acknowledge that, like any married couple, she and Todd go through their share of highs and lows. Marriage, she says, isn’t a “walk in the park,” and pretending otherwise would only create unrealistic expectations. What raised eyebrows among fans was her revelation that sometimes Todd steps away and stays in the guest house. But according to Kandi, this isn’t a sign of a fractured relationship — it’s simply a healthy boundary the two set to cool tensions and keep disagreements from escalating.
“When things get heated, Todd might stay in the guest house just to give us space,” she explained. “But we always find our way back to a peaceful resolve.”
Sources close to the couple echo her statement, noting that with their intense work schedules, multiple business ventures, and constant spotlight, moments of space are not only normal but necessary. Instead of letting disagreements build, they take time apart to regroup — a practice that actually strengthens their marriage rather than weakens it.
Kandi and Todd have long been known as one of the more stable couples within the Housewives universe, especially considering the pressures of reality TV. Their relationship has survived public scrutiny, blended family dynamics, and the demands of their careers. Through it all, they’ve remained united, supportive, and realistic about what marriage truly requires.
Fans who have followed Kandi for years know that she is fiercely loyal and deeply committed to her family. Todd, too, frequently shows his appreciation and admiration for his wife, reinforcing the image of a couple who might argue, but never quit.
With her latest clarification, Kandi hopes to put the rumors to rest once and for all. Her message is simple but powerful: love, honesty, and communication are the foundation of her marriage — and those pillars are still standing strong.
In her own words, “Every marriage has its moments. What matters is how you get through them. And we always do.”
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula faced rumors claiming they were living separately earlier this week, but what is the truth?
As the Summer House couple headed to BravoCon together on Wednesday, a second report hit the web, alleging that while Kyle, 43, and Amanda, 34, are, in fact, in the midst of a “challenging time” in their four-year marriage, they are “committed” to making it work.
“They are going through a challenging time,” an insider revealed to Us Weekly on November 12. “[But they are] both committed to making the relationship work.”
In addition to stating that they were not living separately, the outlet noted that Kyle and Amanda attended an Amazon Home for the Holidays event in New York City earlier this month.
And just as the report was shared, Kyle posted a clip of them headed to BravoCon in Las Vegas on his Instagram Story.
Kyle and Amanda began dating during season one, got engaged in season three, and got married during season six of Summer House in September 2021. Since then, they’ve faced challenges regarding their plans for children, where they want to live, and their respective careers.
Last February, during an interview with Us Weekly, Kyle admitted that his Loverboy business was “insanely stressful” and getting in the way of his and Amanda’s next steps.
“It’s a lot,” he shared. “I feel like dogs inadvertently kind of slowed down our baby making. … So we’re just taking it one day at a time.”
Amanda also spoke to the outlet about their careers, explaining that she had taken a “slight step back” from Loverboy “for the sake of [her and Kyle’s] relationship.”
“I think we needed a little bit of that separation for now. … This seems to be working for us right now,” she revealed two months later.
In recent months, Kyle honored Amanda on their four-year wedding anniversary.
“Greetings from our 4 year wedding anniversary,” he wrote on Instagram on September 25. “Now on to the main course.”
One month prior, Amanda, who did not post anything to her feed about their latest anniversary, gave Kyle a shoutout on his birthday.
“Everybody go wish Mr. Batula a happy birthday #43,” she captioned an August 4 post.
