For instance, original RHOA star NeNe Leakes left the show in season 7 before rejoining the cast in 2018. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long process but we\u2019ve finally reached [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
While discussing the collaboration, Tucker noted that he and Burruss are good at debating topics.

But we\u2019re [just] debating the topic. We\u2019re going back and forth about this,\u201d Burruss explained. \u201cI\u2019ve been like that my whole life. As soon as we have a back and forth, I can walk out the room and be like, \u2018OK, now what are we doing next?\u2019 Whereas I guess to somebody that\u2019s watching it, they are thinking that it\u2019s more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tucker, who shares son Ace, 7, and daughter Blaze, 3, with Burruss<\/a>, agreed with his wife.<\/p>\n\u201cThey\u2019re analyzing [it like], \u2018Wow, he said this.\u2019 Or his posture.\u2019 You know how they do,\u201d Tucker, who also shares 27-year-old daughter Kaela with an ex, added. \u201cBut it was just good, fun conversation and people just took it wrong. I was like, \u2018We are with each other every day.\u2019 It\u2019s not like, \u2018I haven\u2019t seen him together. His ring isn\u2019t on or something.’\u201d<\/p>\n
In response, Burruss pointed out that she is actually the one who often doesn\u2019t wear her ring, saying, \u201cToday I do. But they\u2019ll be like, \u2018Why doesn\u2019t she have on her ring?\u2019 I hardly ever have it on. He always has his on. If he doesn\u2019t have it on \u2014 then it\u2019s going to be a problem. That\u2019s going to be a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair, who wed in 2014 (Tucker was on the crew of RHOA<\/em><\/a>), try not to concern themselves with speculation about their relationship. Tucker, however, noted that it can be hard to block out the noise.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n![\"Couples](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/realitycouplelead.jpg?crop=0px%2C12px%2C2000px%2C1131px&resize=400%2C225&quality=40&strip=all\")
