Phaedra Parks Shares How She Managed to Find Love After Apollo Nida With Tone Kapone

Phaedra Parks is lucky and in love with her boo Tone Kapone. And it seems having a new romance has given her the keys to finding it.

Parks has now shared what she’s learned with fans in a Feb. 5 Instagram post.

“How do you find happiness? You don’t, it finds you. Your job is simply to make room for when it shows up — Alex Elle,” read her memo from the Washington-based author and wellness consultant.

“Be patient- your happy is trying to find you 💕 #happy #happiness,” Parks added in the caption.

For those doubting if that’s all it takes to find love, Parks’ Chicago radio and TV personality boyfriend backed up those sentiments in the comments section.

“@phaedraparks Glad we Found Our Happiness🙏🏽😘,” he wrote.

In response, many fans praised the star’s message and her happiness.

“Momma, im glad ur happy. You deserve happiness, but i gotta bad feeling about this guy.”

“Awww so happy for you guy’s😍”

“@tonekapone33 awww @phaedraparks so happy for you

phaedra parks

both 😍🙏🏾❤️ #Godisgood.”

“Come on now!! Stop searching and let happiness find you and you will be happy❤️”

“Be patient and don’t settle for less!”

Parks, who was married to Apollo Nida until 2017, made her relationship with Kapone Instagram official on New Year’s Eve when she rung in 2019 with him in Chicago.

In an effort to quell some confusion from the public, Kapone made it clear the pair is indeed a couple.

“Yes, me and Phaedra are dating. OK, cool. Is that it? That’s the big moment everybody was waiting for,” he said on his Instagram Story days after their IG photo-op. “Yeah, it was kind of self-explanatory on her page. I didn’t want to re-post it because it seemed like it would have been super weird. Like, yeah, look at me. If you know anybody that knows me, I’m not that kind of guy.”

Since then, the two have been making their romance pretty public. They’ve documented date nights at Beverly Hill’s Katana and dismantled rumors of his infidelity by posting proof of their love.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
