Kandi Burruss Opened Up About Her Surrogacy Plans

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss says she's made headway in the process of having a baby via surrogate on 'Watch What Happens Live.'
Andy Cohen, who recently had a child via surrogate, has been giving her advice on how to approach her surrogacy journey.
She shared that she and her husband, Todd Tucker, had been going back and forth about whether they should pursue surrogacy.

ICYMI, Kandi Burress, one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, shared that shes moving forward with surrogacy to have her second child with husband Todd Tucker. On Sundays episode of Watch What Happens Live, a viewer called in with a question for Kandi.

A couple of episodes back, watching you talk with a surrogate and your doctor, I just wanted to see how thats going? Are we going to see a baby any time soon? the viewer asked.

Kandi made a nervous but excited face, and responded that she didnt want to reveal too much, but we have moved forward. God willing.

The 42-year-old has a three-year-old son Ace, with Tucker, and a 16-year-old daughter Riley from her previous relationship with Russell Spencer.

Kandi had talked about the surrogacy process before with Busy Philipps on Busy Tonight. She said shed used IVF when she got pregnant with Ace, and that Andy Cohen, who also had a child via surrogate earlier this year, offered her some advice about the process.

"This has been kind of a thing for me and my husband, like, 'Should we do it? Should we not do it?' Kandi said. "I had made a comment, I said something about, 'I guess I'm going to have a baby mama. He said to me, 'Don't you ever say that. Kandi teared up as she continued. He was like, 'Because you are the mother and to say she's your baby mama? That's taking away from you.

Kandi said she tends to be an open book on RHOA, and being open about the surrogacy process is part of that. Kudus to her for sharing that journey!
