In a world where celebrity marriages don’t seem to last more than a few years, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, have beat the reality TV curse and recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. It wasn’t always easy, as Burruss’ mother was against their union for many years, but they said “I Do” anyway. Mama Joyce had concerns about Tucker not earning as much as Burruss. And while they may have started off making a slight difference in income, Tucker has never been a slacker. He was working in television production before meeting Burruss.

Tucker made a name in the entertainment industry, specifically television, long before meeting Burruss in 2011. According to his company’s website, he initially worked on music videos, before landing a job with BET, where he worked as a production manager and line producer and eventually executive producer on shows like BET News, 106 & Park to the BET Awards, Rip The Runway, and Road To Platinum.
