Kandi Burruss recently said that the relationship between her husband Todd Tucker and Mama Joyce has improved after the two were "being a little weird with each other."
"It's gotten much better in the last couple of weeks," she told Insider while promoting her spinoff "Kandi and The Gang." "They had gotten back to being a little weird with each other, but recently they made up again for the hundredth time. So hopefully, we'll keep them on the right track."
In a newly-released trailer for the highly anticipated 14th season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta," which premieres May 14, Burruss and Tucker are seen having a quarrel about finances.
In one scene, Tucker tells Burruss: "My name ain't on this house." In another scene, Mama Joyce is seen telling Burruss, in a private conversation, that Tucker "doesn't have the money to pay" off a condo. The drama seems to heighten with Tucker confronting Burruss in front of their daughters saying: "Her, your mama, and your family, y'all so disrespectful."
The "RHOA" star met Tucker on set while he was working as a producer of the long-running Bravo series. The rift between her husband and mother has been at the center of Burruss' storyline since the two began dating in 2011's season four.

Though their marriage has come with ups and downs, the two still manage to keep going strong after nearly eight years. The two wed on April 4, 2014, with cameras rolling for Burruss' spinoff, "Kandi's Wedding."
In 2016, Burruss and Tucker started working to open OLG, a family-run eatery inspired by Mama Joyce and her sisters. Four years later, the two opened Blaze Steak and Seafood in Atlanta, named after their youngest daughter whom they welcomed in 2019 via surrogate.
The secret sauce to the couple's partnership, both in running restaurants and their household, is "communication" said Burruss.
"We are never disrespectful to each other — even when we're angry, it's only so far the conversation is going to go," she added. "So, I think we know how to give each other that moment to cool down and then come back to it and try to compromise."
"Kandi and the Gang" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Season 14 of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" premieres Sunday, May 1 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
