AceShowbiz - Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker's marriage remains strong despite split rumors. Insisting that they aren't heading for divorce, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star and her husband explained what possibly caused the speculation.
The couple addressed their relationship status when speaking to Us Weekly. "Riley actually sent it to me. She was like, 'Why do people keep saying that y'all about to get divorced?' I was like, 'I don't know,' " the 47-year-old reality star said of her 21-year-old daughter.
"I think it came from Todd and I on his YouTube," Kandi added. "We were doing this thing called Todd and the Glam Squad where I would get my hair and makeup done [and] he would sit and we would talk about hot topics or relationship issues."
Todd chimed in, stating that he and Kandi are good at debating topics. The TV personality then elaborated, "We're passionate when we go back and forth. I think people kind of mistook that to say we were angry with each other. But we're [just] debating the topic. We're going back and forth about this."
"I've been like that my whole life," the TV personality, who shares 7-year-old son Ace and 3-year-old daughter Blaze with her spouse, continued. "As soon as we have a back and forth, I can walk out the room and be like, 'OK, now what are we doing next?' Whereas I guess to somebody that's watching it, they are thinking that it's more than that."
Tucker agreed, explaining, "They're analyzing [it like], 'Wow, he said this.' Or his posture.' You know how they do." The production manager, who also shares 27-year-old daughter Kaela with an ex, went on to note, "But it was just good, fun conversation and people just took it wrong. I was like, 'We are with each other every day.' It's not like, 'I haven't seen him together. His ring isn't on or something.' "
Kandi later pointed out that she is actually the one who often doesn't wear her ring. "Today I do. But they'll be like, 'Why doesn't she have on her ring?' I hardly ever have it on. He always has his on. If he doesn't have it on - then it's going to be a problem. That's going to be a problem," she said.
