Newlywed Kandi Burruss Reveals New Rule For Her Marriage | iDateDaily.com

Reported by Ree, “The (Ree)lationship Guide”

Entrepreneur/singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss is now a married woman. The road to marital bliss hasn’t been easy for her, as she’s had a tumultuous life over the past few years. In 2009, she was slated to marry her boyfriend at the time Ashley “A.J.” Jewell; however, he suddenly died after sustaining head injuries in a brawl at a nightclub in October 2009. Heartbroken, Kandi took to Twitter to discuss the hurt she was experiencing after losing her fiancé.

In 2013, she found love again and announced her engagement to Todd Tucker, a former producer for the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality TV series of which Kandi is a cast member. The couple married in April 2014, but in a recent interview, the talented singer reveals that she hasn’t always had interest in marriage.

“I’ll be honest: both of my parents have been married multiple times. With that being said, I never really had confidence in marriage,” she told Ebony. “I felt like, if you can get married and divorced so easily, ain’t that just like going together? I used to grow up and say that I couldn’t wait to grow up and have kids, but not that I couldn’t wait to grow up and get married. I knew other girls who knew exactly when they wanted to get married and what their dress would look like. That wasn’t me.”

When asked what made her change her perspective, she said: “I think love changes things. And as I got older, I wanted a teammate to spend the rest of my life with. 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.”
