Kandi Burruss' Journey on RHOA Since She Joined in Season 2
Kandi joined RHOA back in Season 2 in 2009. Throughout her decade-plus time on the series, she's taken fans inside the many, many changes in her personal and professional life.
Back in RHOA Season 2, Kandi was a single mom to her daughter, Riley Burruss (who is now in college); Kandi was also balancing her career as a music industry star, having not only been a member of Xscape but also a solo artist as well as singer-songwriter of such hits as TLC's "No Scrubs," among other hits.
Later, she would meet and marry Todd. Together they would welcome two more kids into their blended family, a son, Ace, and a daughter, Blaze (Todd is also a father to a daughter from a previous relationship, Kaela).
As viewers have seen first hand, Kandi expanded her empire during her time on RHOA into many businesses from producing to acting to the restaurant industry and other saucier endeavors with her Bedroom Kandi line.
Her time on RHOA also gave fans an inside look at the ups and downs in her friendships in the Atlanta group and the many changing dynamics she's experienced over the years.
