Todd’s New Chapter, Different Kind Of Relationship
On Sunday, Todd shared that after his divorce, which reportedly included a $426K lump sum settlement, he made a promise to himself to reconnect with his faith. In a video shared to his Instagram, the 52-year-old admitted it had been a long time since he last set foot in church. Along with a caption that read, “Not sure who needs to hear this its ok to start a new relationship,” he later revealed that a message from Jamal H. Bryant—often associated with the Bronner family’s ministry circle—inspired him to take that step.
He explained that if he was going to return, he wanted to be intentional about where he worships. Ultimately, he decided to attend a church connected to the Bronner family, who also live in his former neighborhood. Todd ended the clip by making it clear: while one relationship may have ended, he’s now focused on building a new one spiritually.

Todd’s Post-Divorce Message Raises Eyebrows
Looks like Todd Tucker recently had the internet talking. And this time, it was over a message that was sent to Kandi Burruss as she prepares for her one-woman show, ‘I Do, I Did, I’m… DONE.’ A post was shared to Todd’s Instagram in support of his ex-wife’s upcoming April 27 show at City Winery Atlanta, but instead of a simple send-off, a playful jab was included with him writing, “Yo a** ain’t done lol just kidding!” While the comment appeared to be made in jest, reactions were quickly sparked across social media, with many telling him to “spin the block.”
The buzz comes as their divorce was recently finalized, with reports previously confirming that the two have officially gone their separate ways and will be focusing on co-parenting their children, Ace and Blaze. While full details of their settlement have not been publicly disclosed, it has been noted that legal documents—including a parenting plan—were required to be submitted by mid-March, marking the next phase in their post-marriage dynamic.
