Todd Tucker is getting candid about the complicated aftermath of his Kandi Burruss divorce, admitting things got “dark” and “lonely” while revealing there’s one part of his former family life he’s relieved to leave in the past. “I was trying to prove myself to somebody who didn’t like me,” said the Til Divorce Do Us, Partcreator.
In a recent interview with Page Six, Tucker reflected on the loneliness he experienced after his marriage ended. As previously reported, he and Kandi Burruss announced their divorce in Nov. 2025 after 11 years of marriage, with the divorce finalized in 2026. Tucker said he spent a lot of time alone and in his head, wondering what happened to the family life he had built.
In this viral clip, Tucker reveals their divorce took a “dark” & “lonely” toll on him.
“I’m gonna be honest, when we separated, I stayed in the guesthouse, which is just me in this big house by myself. My kids and the family are next door, and it was a lot of alone time,” Tucker, 53, told Page Six.
“It was a lot of time in my head, thinking, trying to figure out, ‘What did I just do? What just happened? Did I lose my family?’ So I’m gonna be honest, I had nobody really to lean on.”
Todd wenton to share some dark thoughts and even suicidal ideations when going through the divorce.
“I looked at my gun,” Tucker said while describing how low he got during that period.
He added that he does not believe reality television was solely responsible for the split, but he acknowledged that it “played a part.” He also said he tried to work through the problems in the marriage — including suggesting therapy — before eventually accepting that things were not going to continue the way he had hoped.
