As such, the 23-year-old has turned to Kandi for guidance on how to handle the new normal for their family, which includes siblings Ace, 10, Blaze, 6 and Kaela, 28 (from Todd’s previous marriage), as well as Riley’s dad Russell “Block” Spencer. Plus, who could forget Kandi’s mother Mama Joyce Jones?  

“I’ve learned from my mom that there are a lot of things that she protects in herself and how strong she is, how courageous [she is],” Riley said of the Xscape artist on the radio. “Because all of this stuff I didn’t even know. She wants to protect me the most she can. So being able to do that for your children is just a powerful thing.”

For her part, Kandi has admitted the breakup—settled in March 2026—was a natural end to their story.
