In a mass text she sent out to fans, Kandi wrote: "She's here! Blaze Tucker born at 6:54 pm on 11-22-19 weighing 8lbs 01oz. I'm so thankful to add another healthy, beautiful, baby girl to the family!" Her report was complete with love emojis. With the written message was a sneak peek at Baby Blaze, and over on Bravo TV's Instagram, the network offered up a congratulatory note.

"A new peach 🍑 just arrived in the ATL," they wrote. "Congratulations to @kandi and @todd167 on the birth of their baby girl! #RHOA." Both Kandi and Todd each have a daughter from previous relationships and they share a son, three-year-old Ace, who was conceived via IVF treatments.
