His reality TV star wife, 38 — with whom he stars on Bravo’s Don’t Be Tardy penned an emotional note on Instagram after learning of his new gig in upstate New York, miles away from their home in Atlanta.

"Although Kroy is so excited as I am (my parents grew up there, half my family still lives there) never mind the fact the fans are AWESOME, the team is AWESOME and my hubby is ecstatic … It was hard to say good bye!" she admitted of having to bid farewell to her hubby. "Im so thankful for @briellebiermann taking Kroy so early this morning, @cheftraceybloom coming to the rescue to be here for me, @nikitpressley texts and ALL of you who have welcomed my husband with open arms!
