If you're an old The Real Housewives of Atlanta fan or a newer Married to Medicine fan (or, ideally, a fan of both), you might know a thing or two about Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida. After five years of marriage — we met them when they were newly married during Season 3 of RHOA! — the duo split in 2014, but have stayed in each other's lives as they parent their two young sons, Ayden Nida and Dylan Nida.
Now, fast forward a decade. While fans have seen plenty of Phaedra on their screens over the years, Apollo began popping up once again when she joined Married to Medicine in Season 10. Ahead, discover everything there is to know about their current co-parenting relationship.
Who are Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida's kids?
Apollo and Phaedra share two sons, Ayden and Dylan. Ayden, who's nicknamed "the Prince," was born in May 2010. His little brother, AKA "Mr. President," was born in May 2013.
In a February 2024 interview with PEOPLE, Phaedra revealed she has three rules for her boys: "Be respectful of adults, ‘yes and no ma’am’ all the time. My second rule is clean up behind yourself. And the last thing is be grateful."
Inside Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida's co-parenting relationship
During a Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen appearance in January 2024, Phaedra said that co-parenting with Apollo "is going great."
According to the Traitors cast member, her kids generally stay with her full time but Apollo takes them "for the weekends." "He likes to take them," she added.
During another WWHL appearance in June 2022, she shared a similar sentiment. “Apollo and I, obviously, have these wonderful two young men. Love. And so we get along very well. I just spoke to him 10, 15 minutes ago,” she said. “Yeah, we have a good relationship. We co-parent very well.”
Is Phaedra Parks married?
No, Phaedra isn't married. But she is seeing someone new. "Yes, I'm dating," Phaedra shared when asked about her love life during during the Tour De Wives panel at Bravo Fan Fest in Miami in November 2024. "It's delicious."
While she didn't share her beau's name, she did give a little more information about him. "You know, he's young... very early 30's," she explained. "I like to have fun."
Is Apollo Nida married?
Yes, Apollo is married. His new wife's name is Sherien Almufti and they wed in October 2022.
Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida's relationship history
Phaedra and Apollo were married for five years before splitting in 2015, right before Apollo began an eight-year prison sentence for fraud and identity theft. Their divorce was finalized in 2017.
While Apollo was in prison, Phaedra took their boys to visit him. His sentence was reduced by one year in March 2019, and he was officially released from federal custody in November of that year.
"My sons have been through a lot, they've seen a lot of good things, they've seen a lot of bad things and nobody's life is going to be perfect, so we're just going to continue and keep our schedules as they have been and we're going to hope and pray that Apollo can get it together," said Phaedra in a July 2019 interview with DailyMailTV.
Phaedra has commented on their decades-long history with one another in an interview with Us Weekly in March 2024: “Apollo and I have known each other since the ‘90s for God’s sake. We have two children. We’re always going to be friends and that’s just what it is.”
