Kandi Burruss: She And Todd Tucker Are A Force

In April Kandi Burruss tied the knot to Todd Tucker without Mama Joyce drama, and now she and Todd are eager to grow both their brands and their union.

CelebNMusic247.com has the inside scoop on Kandi who shares that the keys to a fulfilling marriage and gives her tips for making it in business. Since their wedding Kandi reveals that she and Todd have been spending most of their time apart due to work commitments.

“I guess we still don’t feel married yet. We went from seeing each other and being together every day to a long-distance relationship—because he’s in L.A. producing his show, Hollywood Divas, for TV One, so we see each other on the weekends. Sometimes we don’t even get to do that.”

Kandi adds:

“We make it work through a lot of communication, and we try to see each other as often as possible.”

Kandi reveals that communication has been the most vital asset to their relationship and they ignore outside advice!

“Going into the marriage,everyone had something to say. (laughs) Of course, everyone says communication is key. I agree. Actually, I think that’s why Todd and I have worked as a couple for so long. He enjoys talking often. In fact, I need to step my call game up throughout the day. And if we have disagreements, I’m less inclined to want to talk about it. He wants to talk everything out. That’s helped me get better with my communication.”

“Of course, everyone also says to not let anyone in your business.”

“Obviously, that was a big issue with my mom, and I’m working on that. I had to be like, ‘Hey, this is what we’re doing and this is how we’re rolling.’”

In regards to a role model she admits to NOT having one, adding:

“I’ll be honest: both of my parents have been married multiple times. With that being said, I never really had confidence in marriage. I felt like, if you can get married and divorced so easily, ain’t that just like going together?”

“And as I got older, I wanted a teammate to spend the rest of my life with. It’s like Ne-Yo said, I’m killing ’em by myself but I’m a force when we’re together.Todd and I are a force. We’re able to do things together that I probably wouldn’t have even thought about. He pushes me. He motivates me. I just love us, us. And at a certain point in your life, you don’t just want someone who you go with. You really want to be in it together. It’s a different type of commitment. You can’t just walk away from it.”

In addtion Kandi says that she leaves her previous bags at the station when it comes to her marriage to Todd:

“Times in the past when I was in a relationship and things were good, my business wasn’t together. When my business was on point, my relationship sucked. I feel like a lot of men need to be catered to… a lot. So when a woman is focused on her business and putting so much energy into that area, it can be hard to give your man the attention he needs. The way to get past that is to have someone that motivates you and wants you to win. I have that with Todd, and now it seems like everything is coming together.”
