Kandi Burruss Gets A Surprising Signal From Todd Tucker Amid Split

Kandi Burruss may be navigating a highly publicized divorce, but the moment she stepped onto "The View" stage, something unexpected happened, as her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, publicly cheered her on.

As she prepares for her Broadway debut in "& Juliet," the reality TV star received a message that surprised fans and added a new layer to their unfolding split.

Kandi Burruss’ latest career move earned her more than applause from audiences.

It also earned a nod from Todd Tucker himself.

After her Dec. 9 performance of Pink’s “Perfect” alongside castmate Gianna Harris, Tucker shared the clip on Instagram with the encouraging note, “Great Job @kandi.”

Tucker, who once worked behind the scenes on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" before marrying Burruss in 2014, also praised her in his caption, adding “@kandi great job! Keep inspiring and doing your thing!!!”

Despite their ongoing divorce, the exchange was warm.

Burruss acknowledged Todd Tucker’s post with a simple but telling response.

She liked the post and commented with a heart emoji, then added, “Thank you!”

The gesture, though brief, marked an unexpectedly supportive moment between the pair.

As Burruss prepares to make her Broadway debut on December 11, the interaction hints that even amid personal upheaval, mutual respect may still guide their path forward.

Tucker's post caught the attention of many fans who took turns sharing their thoughts on it in the comment section.

Many of those who commented saw the interaction between Kandi Burruss and Tucker as a sign that their issues could be resolved.

One person wrote, "Awww love this @todd167 I pray God work it out," while another person added, "Come y'all resolve this and be a family again. We love y'all."

A third fan advised, "Only you two know what's going on. Keep God first and He will work it out," while a fourth shared, "Doesn't have to be war after love! It's great to see that @todd167 is supporting @kandi!"

Another fan advised the feuding couple to "block out the noise" from friends and family members. They added, "Try counseling first before its too late! The grass is not greener on the other side. We love you both and I hope you guys can work it out!"

However, not everyone was pleased with the multiple advice fans were giving to the estranged couple.

One displeased fan called it out, writing, "All this advice because he said do your thing! They do have kids you know so shouldn't they be happy for each other's success regardless?!"

Burruss has not shied away from addressing the emotional strain of her decision to divorce Todd Tucker, with whom she shares Ace, 9, and Blaze, 6.

When she confirmed the separation last month, she described the moment as “stepping into a new chapter.”

In her statement to PEOPLE, she explained, “This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect.”

In the weeks since, Burruss has let followers in on just how heavy that chapter has felt.

She admitted on Instagram that she has often carried her pain in silence, writing on Dec. 3, “This is not being fake. This is just how I deal with things. I internalize and deal with it alone. I am the poster child for the saying ‘check on your strong friend because you never know what they are going through.’”

Her honesty sparked an immediate wave of support from fans, friends, and loved ones, many of whom encouraged her to lean on others rather than weather everything quietly.

After receiving an overwhelming outpouring of kindness, Burruss returned to Instagram with a follow-up message, letting everyone know just how much their encouragement meant to her.

The Grammy Award winner, who is also mom to Riley, 23, and stepmom to Kaela, 29, shared a warm video thanking her supporters.

In the clip, she reflected on her earlier vulnerable post, saying, “Obviously, this is a crazy time, and the other day I was having a moment.”

She then added, “But I’m thankful to you guys. I’m back to being my normal Taurus self, so I’m just moving forward and looking for the sun to come out.”

Despite the turbulence of her personal life, Burruss is doing what she has always done, picking herself up, honoring her feelings, and stepping forward with resilience.
