Love you always!” she wrote, alongside a sweet photo of the two beaming together.
The post instantly went viral, amassing thousands of likes and emotional comments from fans and celebrities alike. Many were quick to praise Kandi’s deep sense of gratitude and family values — a softer side that RHOA fans don’t often get to see amid the show’s constant feuds and fiery confrontations.
“Seeing Kandi like this just melts my heart,” one fan commented. “She’s always strong and in control, but this moment showed her pure love and vulnerability.” Another added, “Eighty years old and still going strong — her dad must be so proud!”
Kandi’s touching tribute comes at a pivotal time, as the star continues to juggle her empire of music, restaurants, and reality TV fame. Insiders say she’s been reflecting on her family roots more than ever, drawing strength and inspiration from her father’s resilience and wisdom.
“This isn’t just a birthday shoutout,” one source told Bravo Daily. “It’s a reminder of where Kandi’s drive comes from. Her dad’s influence has shaped everything she’s achieved.”
While the RHOA cameras weren’t rolling for this personal moment, fans are hoping the celebration — and her father’s inspiring journey — might make its way into the next season.
For now, Kandi Burruss has proven once again that beyond the drama, she’s all heart. In a world full of shade and scandal, her message of love and gratitude was the dose of positivity fans didn’t know they needed.

How Gia Giudice helped Gabriella's boyfriend pull off a birthday surprise
Gia said she played an important role in Sal's plan, as she was tasked with getting Gabriella out of the apartment before he arrived. So, what did she do? She began rushing her sister to do a store run.
“I kept looking at her, telling her, ‘Let's go. Let's go to Costco. Come on, Gabriella, we've got to get out the door,’” The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter said. “So later on, when he ended up surprising her, [Gabriella] looks at me, and she was like, ‘Is this why you were rushing me to go to Costco?’ And I'm like, ‘Zip it, you had no idea.’”
After the Costco shopping trip, the sisters returned to a fully decorated apartment complete with a banner, blue and yellow balloons, and an assortment of cupcakes. Gia said Gabriella “was so happy” to see the decor, so much so that it took her a minute to realize Sal was in the apartment among her group of friends.
“She didn’t even notice Sal until the last second, which made it so much better,” Gia recalled. “I see those college surprises all the time, all over my For You page, when the boyfriend surprises the girlfriend and the girlfriend surprises the boyfriend. So to actually see it, in real life, I was like, this is just so adorable. I actually started crying. I don't know why the surprise made me so emotional. I think just to see my sister so happy, and it just went so perfectly, I started tearing up.”
