Inside Kandi Burruss' RHOA journey
Kandi joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta in Season 2 in 2009 and went on to have a 14-season run on RHOA. During Kandi's time on RHOA, viewers watched her raise Riley (who now appears on her own Bravo show, Next Gen NYC), grow her career, and fall in love and marry, Todd Tucker. The couple later went on to have two kids, Ace and Blaze, who viewers also got to meet on RHOA.
Additionally, Kandi has appeared on several other Bravo shows and spinoffs.
Why Did Kandi Burrus leave RHOA?
She exited RHOA in February 2024 following Season 15. At the time, Kandi revealed her intentions in leaving the show. "I decided I’m not coming back this year," Kandi told Variety at the time. "I’m going to take a break, I’m going to take a moment… I’m not coming back this year."
She later shared on Instagram, "I’m looking forward to all the blessings that are manifesting in my life!"
Would Kandi Burruss return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta?
When she appeared on WWHL on July 15, she revealed if she'd ever consider returning to the show. "I mean, I guess you can never say never, but I don't really see it happening anytime soon," she told Andy.
His take on that? "All right, I'm good with that answer," he shared. Check out more on it by watching the video at the top of the post.
