No one can deny Phaedra Parks's renaissance will go down as one of the best in reality TV history. Six years after being fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, she succinctly put herself back on Bravo's radar. In 2023, she signed on to star in Season 10 of Married to Medicine and, not long after RHOA came calling again and asked her to return as a friend for Season 16.
Phaedra being officially back in the Bravosphere proves that you can come back from a bad breakup, at least professionally. In reality, fans have seen the attorney have some interesting shots at love. However, she recently shared an update on her love life with fans, and from what she's shared, things are on an upswing.
So, who is Phaedra Parks dating?
On Nov. 21-23, 2024, Phaedra and tons of other Bravolebrities attended Bravo Fan Fest in Miami, Fla. During the "Tour De Wives" panel at the event, she dished on her "delicious" dating life and confirmed she was spending her very rare free time with a younger man.
"I'm dating," Phaedra confirmed at the panel. "He’s young. Very early 30s.
Though she's shared her life on several reality shows, including RHOA, Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, Married to Medicine, The Traitors, and other pop ups, she's been able to keep her love life private. Phaedra shared on M2M that she was dating a Nigerian doctor named “Dr. O,” Phaedra didn’t share her mystery man’s name on the Married to Medicine premiere, nor did she share what he looks like.
Outside of M2M, fans also shipped a romance between her and her Traitors co-star, CT Tamburello, per People, though nothing ever came from it. During Married to Medicine Season 10, the cast, mostly Dr. Heavenly Kimes and Dr. Jackie Walters, questioned her and Quad Webb's ex, Dr. Gregory Lunceford's friendship.
While Phaedra said their relationship was platonic and she often played Greg's wingman, Quad claimed they dated. When Andy Cohen addressed the rumor at the Season 10 reunion, the friends confessed they went out on a few dates before she ultimately friend-zoned him when she told him she needed a man who could spend $4,000 a month on her.
Would Phaedra Parks get married again?
While she's dipped her foot in the dating pond, Phaedra is focused on her children, Ayden and Dylan. The single mom co-parents her boys with her ex-husband, Apollo Nida. The couple were married in 2009 and separated in 2014 before ultimately divorcing in 2017. M2M offered a glimpse into their co-parenting relationship on the show.
Although she's moved on from her marriage, she's not interested in sharing her new relationship on M2M or RHOA because, according to her, her romantic relationships will never result in her being a real housewife.
"[Marriage] isn't something I'm interested in," Phaedra admitted. "I'm very wealthy, I can take care of myself. I like being able to call the shots," she said. "Women know when you have a husband, sometimes you have to be... nice."
