Kandi Burruss' daughter graduated from New York University in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Music majoring in Music Business after switching from her initial degree in nutrition. She celebrated being the first person in her family to graduate from college and thanked her mother for inspiring her to pursue a music-related venture.
Riley began studying for the LSAT after graduation and hopes to become an entertainment lawyer. In a May 2025 interview with Bravo's The Daily Dish, she expressed her interest in pursuing a dual law and business degree at Columbia University in New York, where she is now based.
My main priority is studying for the LSAT, of course, and getting a great score, and getting into Columbia. And my second goal is just to continue working on myself... I feel like there's a lot of self-work that would be very needed at this age of your life. And I just want to make sure I'm doing the best I can with myself.

Kandi Burruss' nine-year-old son, Ace Wells Tucker, was born nearly two years after the singer's April 2014 wedding to Todd Tucker. The Don't Think I'm Not hitmaker underwent IVF treatments in 2015 to conceive her son after having surgery to remove a uterine fibroid.
Ace has already started making his mark in the entertainment industry. Kandi told The Daily Dish in September 2022 that she got him an acting coach after discovering his acting skills and praised the youngster for being multi-talented.
Ace, I always say, that's our can-do-it-all baby. That boy is good at everything he tries. He's open to try [anything]... pretty much anything he tries to do, he's pretty good at it.

Blaze Tucker is Kandi and Todd Tucker's youngest child. She was born via surrogacy, which Kandi chose because of her high-risk pregnancy with son Ace.
The former Xscape frontwoman felt guilty having someone else carry her child. She was afraid she might not have a connection with the baby, but she revealed during her August 2020 appearance on the We Are Family podcast that they bonded.
When Blaze got here, I didn't feel any less of a connection than I have with my previous children. I still feel super bonded when I come in the room... It's still this same love, the same connection.
